Hadith 28:1139
Waki’ narrated to us, he said: Isma’il bin Abi Khalid narrated to us, from Qays, who said: The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent ‘Amr bin al-‘As on the expedition of Dhat al-Salasil. A severe cold afflicted them, so he said: "Let no man kindle a fire." Then he fought the people. When they came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, they complained about that to him. He [‘Amr] said: "O Messenger of Allah, there was a scarcity among my companions, and I feared that the people would see their scarcity, and I forbade them from pursuing the enemy for fear that they might have an ambush behind the mountain." He said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was pleased with that.
حدثنا وكيع قال ثنا إسماعيل بن أبي خالد عن قيس قال بعث النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عمرو بن العاص في غزوة ذات السلاسل فأصابهم برد شديد فقال لا يوقدن رجل نارا ثم قاتل القوم فلما قدموا على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم شكوا ذلك إليه فقال يا رسول الله كان في اصحابي قلة وخشيت أن يرى القوم قلتهم ونهيتهم أن يتبعوا العدو مخافة أن يكون لهم كمين من وراء الجبل قال فأعجب ذلك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
