حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ : " أَيْنَ فُلَانٌ؟ ".
فَغَمَزَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّهُ، وَإِنَّهُ !، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَلَيْسَ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا؟ "، قَالُوا : بَلَى.
قَالَ :" فَلَعَلَّ اللَّهَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ، فَقَالَ : اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ، فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكُمْ "

Amr bin Asim narrated to us, Hammad bin Salamah narrated to us, on the authority of Asim, on the authority of Abu Salih, on the authority of Abu Hurairah: that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, He said: “Where is so-and-so?”
One of them winked at him and said: Yes, and yes! The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: Didn’t he witness Badr? They said: Yes.
He said: “Perhaps God looked at the people of Badr and said: Do whatever you want, for I have forgiven you.”
