Commentary on 54:45
قال الله تعالى : ( سيهزم الجمع ويولون الدبر ) أي : سيتفرق شملهم ويغلبون .
قال البخاري : حدثنا إسحاق ، حدثنا خالد ، عن خالد - وقال أيضا : حدثنا محمد ، حدثنا عفان بن مسلم ، عن وهيب ، عن خالد ، عن عكرمة ، عن ابن عباس ; أن النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - قال - وهو في قبة له يوم بدر - : " أنشدك عهدك ووعدك ، اللهم إن شئت لم تعبد بعد اليوم أبدا " . فأخذ أبو بكر رضي الله عنه بيده وقال : حسبك يا رسول الله ! ألححت على ربك . فخرج وهو يثب في الدرع وهو يقول : ( سيهزم الجمع ويولون الدبر بل الساعة موعدهم والساعة أدهى وأمر ) .
وكذا رواه البخاري والنسائي في غير موضع ، من حديث خالد - وهو ابن مهران الحذاء - به .
وقال ابن أبي حاتم : حدثنا أبي ، حدثنا أبو الربيع الزهراني ، حدثنا حماد عن أيوب ، عن عكرمة ، قال : لما نزلت ( سيهزم الجمع ويولون الدبر ) [ قال ] قال عمر : أي جمع يهزم ؟ أي جمع يغلب ؟ قال عمر : فلما كان يوم بدر رأيت رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - يثب في الدرع ، وهو يقول : ( سيهزم الجمع ويولون الدبر ) فعرفت تأويلها يومئذ .

Indeed, We sent upon them one shriek [i.e., blast from the sky], and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen.
