وَعَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزَاةٍ، وَنَحْنُ سِتَّةُ نَفَرٍ بَيْنَنَا بَعِيرٌ نَعْتَقِبُهُ، فَنَقِبَتْ أَقْدَامُنَا وَنَقِبَتْ قدمي، وسقطت أظافري، فَكُنَّا نَلُفُّ عَلَى أَرْجُلِنَا الْخِرَقَ، فَسُمِّيَتْ غَزْوَةَ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ لِمَا كُنَّا نُعَصِّبُ عَلَى أَرْجُلِنَا مِنَ الْخِرَقِ قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ: فَحَدَّثَ أبوموسى بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، ثُمَّ كَرِهَ ذَلِكَ، وَقَالَ: مَا كُنْتُ أَصْنَعُ بِأَنْ أَذْكُرَهُ! قَالَ: كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يَكُونَ شئياً مِنْ عَمَلِهِ أَفْشَاهُ. ((مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ))
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 (ﷺ) 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].
