Hadith Number: 5311
اخبرنا الحسن بن حليم المروزي، اخبرنا محمد بن عمرو الفزاري، حدثنا عبدان بن عثمان، اخبرنا عبد الله بن المبارك، اخبرنا جرير بن حازم، سمعت الحسن يحدث يقول: حضر اناس باب عمر، وفيهم سهيل بن عمرو وابو سفيان بن حرب والشيوخ من قريش، فخرج آذنه، فجعل ياذن لاهل بدر كصهيب وبلال واهل بدر، قال: وكان والله بدريا وكان يحبهم، وكان قد اوصى به (3)، فقال ابو سفيان: ما رايت كاليوم قط، إنه يؤذن لهذه العبيد ونحن جلوس لا يلتفت إلينا، فقال سهيل بن عمرو - ويل له من رجل ما كان اعقله! (1) -: ايها القوم، إني والله قد ارى الذي في وجوهكم، فإن كنتم غضابا فاغضبوا على انفسكم، دعي القوم ودعيتم، فاسرعوا وابطاتم، اما والله لما سبقوكم به من الفضل فيما [لا] (2) ترون، اشد عليكم فوتا من بابكم هذا الذي تنافسون عليه (3)، ثم قال: إن هؤلاء (4) القوم قد سبقوكم بما ترون، ولا سبيل لكم والله إلى ما سبقوكم إليه، فانظروا هذا الجهاد فالزموه، عسى الله ﷿ ان يرزقكم الجهاد والشهادة، ثم نفض ثوبه، فقام فلحق بالشام. قال الحسن: فصدق والله (5)، لا يجعل الله عبدا اسرع إليه كعبد ابطا عنه (6).

It is narrated from al-Hasan al-Basri that some people came to the door of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), among them Suhayl bin Amr, Abu Sufyan bin Harb and other elders of Quraysh. Meanwhile his doorkeeper came out and began to grant entry to the people of Badr, such as Suhayb and Bilal (may Allah be pleased with them both). The narrator says: By Allah, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) loved the people of Badr greatly, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had also given instructions concerning them. Seeing this, Abu Sufyan said: I have never seen a sight like today's: these slaves are being given permission while we sit here and no attention is paid to us. Then Suhayl bin Amr (may Allah have mercy on him, how intelligent a man he was!) said: "O people, by Allah, I (understand) the expressions I see on your faces. If you are angry, then be angry with yourselves. These people were invited (to Islam) and so were you, but they hastened to accept it and you delayed. By Allah, their getting ahead of you in merit and excellence (which you cannot see today) should grieve you far more than missing out on this door over which you are competing with one another today." Then he said: "By Allah, there is now no way for you to reach the virtue in which these people have gone ahead of you. So now look to this jihad and hold fast to it; perhaps Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will grant you jihad and martyrdom." Then he shook out his garment, stood up and left for Syria. Al-Hasan al-Basri says: By Allah, he spoke the truth; Allah does not make a servant who hastens towards Him equal to one who is slow in His matter.

Hadith-science notes and terminology
Note / Clarification: (3) The meaning is that 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had instructed his doorkeeper (adhin) to admit the people of Badr first.
(3) المعنى: أنَّ عمر كان قد أوصى آذِنَه بالإذن لأهل بدرٍ أولًا.
Note / Clarification: (1) This sentence is a parenthetical remark from the words of al-Hasan al-Basri.
(1) هذه الجملة معترضة من قول الحسن البصري.
Note / Clarification: (2) The word "la" had dropped out of our manuscripts; we have restored it from Ibn al-Mubarak's "al-Jihad" (100), Ahmad's "al-Zuhd" (592) and elsewhere.
(2) لفظة "لا" سقطت من نسخنا الخطية، واستدركناها من "الجهاد" لابن المبارك (100)، ومن "الزهد" لأحمد (592) وغيرهما.
Note / Clarification: (3) In our manuscripts the phrase was corrupted to "man ta'tikum 'ala alladhina yunafisuna 'alaykum"; the correct form is what we have adopted (in the text), in agreement with the sources that record the report.
(3) تحرَّفت العبارة في نسخنا الخطية إلى: من تأتيكم على الذين ينافسون عليكم، والصواب ما أثبتنا وفاقًا لما في مصادر تخريج الخبر.
Note / Clarification: (4) Our manuscripts have "hadha" in place of "ha'ula'i"; what is adopted in the text is from al-Dhahabi's "Talkhis al-Mustadrak", and it agrees with Ibn al-Mubarak's "al-Jihad".
(4) في نسخنا الخطية: هذا بدل هؤلاء، والمثبت من "تلخيص المستدرك" للذهبي، وهو الموافق لما في "الجهاد" لابن المبارك.
Note / Clarification: (5) The manuscripts have "fa-sadaqa Allah" (without the waw); the correction is from the sources that record the report.
(5) في النسخ: فصدق الله، بحذف الواو، والمثبت من مصادر التخريج.
Grading: (6) This report is "hasan". The narrators of this chain are trustworthy, but it is "mursal", because al-Hasan (Ibn Abi al-Hasan al-Basri) did not witness this story.
Important point: But this story is well known and more than one narrator has narrated it, as will come.
