حَدَّثَنِي يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ إِنِّي لَفِي الصَّفِّ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ إِذِ الْتَفَتُّ، فَإِذَا عَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ يَسَارِي فَتَيَانِ حَدِيثَا السِّنِّ، فَكَأَنِّي لَمْ آمَنْ بِمَكَانِهِمَا، إِذْ قَالَ لِي أَحَدُهُمَا سِرًّا مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ يَا عَمِّ أَرِنِي أَبَا جَهْلٍ. فَقُلْتُ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، وَمَا تَصْنَعُ بِهِ قَالَ عَاهَدْتُ اللَّهَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُهُ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهُ أَوْ أَمُوتَ دُونَهُ. فَقَالَ لِي الآخَرُ سِرًّا مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ مِثْلَهُ قَالَ فَمَا سَرَّنِي أَنِّي بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ مَكَانَهُمَا، فَأَشَرْتُ لَهُمَا إِلَيْهِ، فَشَدَّا عَلَيْهِ مِثْلَ الصَّقْرَيْنِ حَتَّى ضَرَبَاهُ، وَهُمَا ابْنَا عَفْرَاءَ.

Narrator: `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf

English translation
Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf: While I was fighting in the front file on the day (of the battle) of Badr, suddenly I looked behind and saw on my right and left two young boys and did not feel safe by standing between them. Then one of them asked me secretly so that his companion may not hear, "O Uncle! Show me Abu Jahl." I said, "O nephew! What will you do to him?" He said, "I have promised Allah that if I see him (i.e. Abu Jahl), I will either kill him or be killed before I kill him." Then the other said the same to me secretly so that his companion should not hear. I would not have been pleased to be in between two other men instead of them. Then I pointed him (i.e. Abu Jahl) out to them. Both of them attacked him like two hawks till they knocked him down. Those two boys were the sons of 'Afra' (i.e. an Ansari woman)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
‘আবদুর রাহমান ইবনু ‘আওফ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেছেন, বদরের দিন সৈনিক সারিতে দাঁড়িয়ে আমি এদিক-ওদিক তাকিয়ে দেখলাম, আমার ডানে ও বামে কম বয়সের দু’জন যুবক তাদের মত অল্প বয়স্ক দু’জন যুবকের পাশে আমি নিজেকে নিরাপদ বোধ করছিলাম না। এমতাবস্থায় তাদের একজন তার সঙ্গী থেকে লুকিয়ে আমাকে জিজ্ঞেস করল চাচাজী, আবূ জাহ্ল কোনটি আমাকে দেখিয়ে দিন? আমি বললাম, ভাতিজা, তা দিয়ে তুমি কী করবে? সে বলল, আমি আল্লাহর সঙ্গে অঙ্গীকার করেছি, তাকে দেখলে তাকে হত্যা করব অন্যথায় নিজেই শহীদ হয়ে যাব। এরপর দ্বিতীয় যুবকটিও তাঁর সঙ্গী থেকে লুকিয়ে আমাকে এভাবেই জিজ্ঞেস করল। আমি এত সন্তুষ্ট হলাম যে, দু’জন পূর্ণবয়স্ক মানুষের মাঝে আমি ততটুকু সন্তুষ্ট হতাম না। অতঃপর আমি তাদের দু’জনকে ইশারায় আবূ জাহ্লকে দেখিয়ে দিলাম। তখন তারা বাজ পাখির তীব্রতায় তার উপর ঝাপিয়ে পড়ে তাকে আঘাত করল। এরা হল ‘আফরার দু‘ পুত্র। [৩১৪১] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৩৬৯৩, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
