Compiled by Imam Abu Dawud as-Sijistani
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ بِشْرٍ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ : " وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا " . ثُمَّ قَالَ : " إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ : " وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ : " وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا " . ثُمَّ سَكَتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ : " إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : زَادَ فِيهِ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ شَرِيكٍ قَالَ : ثُمَّ لَمْ يَغْزُهُمْ .
The Prophet (ﷺ) as saying: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish. The then said: If Allah wills. He again said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish if Allah wills. He again said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish. He then kept silence. Then he said: If Allah wills. Abu Dawud said: Al-Walid b. Muslim said on the authority of Sharik: He then said: But he did not fight against them.
