Riyad as-Salihin 524 (Book) #38909
Dedication to Mission Despite Hardships

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the companions of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) who went on an expedition and shared one camel between them. They were so dedicated to their mission that they wrapped their feet in rags when they got injured, and this campaign was known as Dhat-ur-Riqa (the Campaign of Rags).

Abu Burdah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Abu Musa Al- Ash'ari (May Allah be pleased with him) said: "Six of us accompanied Messenger of Allah in an expedition. We had one camel with us; we rode it in turn. Our feet got injured and my nails also fell out. We wrapped up our feet in rags; and because of this the campaign came to be known as Dhat-ur-Riqa (the Campaign of Rags)". Abu Burdah (May Allah be pleased with him) says: Abu Musa reported this Hadith but regretted having done so. He said, "Would that I had not mentioned it!" He said so because he disliked to disclose anything concerning his deeds. Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن أبي بردة عن أبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ خرجنا مع رسول الله في غزاة، ونحن ستة نفر بيننا بعير نعتقبه، فنقبت أقدامنا ونقبت قدمي، وسقطت أظافري، فكنا نلف على أرجلنا الخرق، فسميت غزوة ذات الرقاع لما كنا نعصب على أرجلنا من الخرق قال أبو بردة‏:‏ فحدث أبوموسى بهذا الحديث، ثم كره ذلك، وقال‏:‏ ما كنت أصنع بأن أذكره‏!‏ قال‏:‏ كأنه كره أن يكون شئياً من عمله أفشاه‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the dedication of the companions of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). They went on a mission together, sharing one camel between them. When their feet got injured, they did not give up but instead wrapped their feet in rags so that they could continue with their mission. This campaign was known as Dhat-ur-Riqa or the Campaign of Rags due to this incident. It teaches us that we should never give up despite hardships and should always strive for our goals no matter what it takes. We should be willing to make sacrifices for our cause if needed, just like these companions did for theirs.
