English Translation
He said: It was said: 'O Messenger of Allah' — after he had finished at Badr — 'You should go after the caravan; there is nothing standing in your way.' Al-Abbas called out while he was a prisoner bound in his chains: 'That is not suitable for you.' He said: 'Why?' He said: 'Because Allah has promised you one of the two parties, and He has given you what He promised you.' He said: 'You have spoken the truth.'
