Jami at Tirmidhi 1716

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَحَاصَ النَّاسُ حَيْصَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاخْتَبَيْنَا بِهَا وَقُلْنَا:‏‏‏‏ هَلَكْنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْنَا:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏نَحْنُ الْفَرَّارُونَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَلْ أَنْتُمُ الْعَكَّارُونَ وَأَنَا فِئَتُكُمْ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ:‏‏‏‏ فَحَاصَ النَّاسُ حَيْصَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَعْنِي:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهُمْ فَرُّوا مِنَ الْقِتَالِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ:‏‏‏‏ بَلْ أَنْتُمُ الْعَكَّارُونَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْعَكَّارُ:‏‏‏‏ الَّذِي يَفِرُّ إِلَى إِمَامِهِ لِيَنْصُرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَيْسَ يُرِيدُ الْفِرَارَ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: The Messenger of Allah sent us on a military expedition, and the people turned to escape. So we arrived in Al-Madinah and concealed ourselves in it and we said: 'We are ruined.' Then we went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and we said: 'O Messenger of Allah! We are those who fled.' He said: 'Rather you are Al-'Akkarun (those who are regrouping) and I am your reinforcement. [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Gharib. We do not know of it except as a narration of Yazid bin Abi Ziyad. And the meaning of his saying: The people turned to escape is that they fled from the fighting. As for the meaning of his saying: Rather you are Al-'Akkarun, the 'Akkar is the one who flees to his Imam in order that he may help him, it does not mean fleeing from the advancing army.
