Hadith text

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr:When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) besieged Taif and could not conquer its people, he said, "We will return (to Medina) If Allah wills." That distressed the Companions (of the Prophet (ﷺ) and they said, "Shall we go away without conquering it (i.e. the Fort of Taif)?" Once the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Let us return." Then the Prophet said (to them), "Fight tomorrow." They fought and (many of them) got wounded, whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "We will return (to Medina) tomorrow if Allah wills." That delighted them, whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) smiled. The sub-narrator, Sufyan said once, "(The Prophet) smiled

Abdullah bin Amr bataate hain: Jab Allah ke Rasool ne Taif ko gher liya aur uske logon ko fatah nahi kar sake, unhone kaha, "Hum (Madina) wapas jaenge, Insha Allah." Isse Nabi ke sahaba dukhi hue aur unhone kaha, "Kya hum ise (yaani Taif ke qile ko) fatah kiye bina chale jaen?" Ek baar Nabi ne kaha, "Chalo wapas chalte hain." Phir Nabi ne (unse) kaha, "Kal jung karo." Woh jung karte rahe aur (kaee) zakhmi hue, ispar Nabi ne kaha, "Hum kal wapas jaenge, Insha Allah." Isse woh khush hue, ispar Nabi muskurae. (Subordinate raawi, Sufyan ne ek baar kaha, "[Nabi] muskurae.")
