كَانَ إِبْلِيسُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ يُقَلِّلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي أَعْيُنِ الْكُفَّارِ وَ يُكَثِّرُ الْكُفَّارَ فِي أَعْيُنِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) بِالسَّيْفِ فَهَرَبَ مِنْهُ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ إِنِّي مُؤَجَّلٌ إِنِّي مُؤَجَّلٌ حَتَّى وَقَعَ فِي الْبَحْرِ قَالَ زُرَارَةُ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ يَخَافُ وَ هُوَ مُؤَجَّلٌ قَالَ يَقْطَعُ بَعْضَ أَطْرَافِهِ.
Translation
<a id="_Toc492473548">H 14867</a> – From him, from Abaan, from Zurara, who has narrated the following: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-a">A</span>bu Ja’far</span><sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘On the Day of Badr, Iblees<sup>la</sup> used to belittle the Muslims in the eyes of the infidels, and magnify the infidels in the eyes of the Muslims. So Jibrael<sup>as</sup> pulled the sword against him<sup>la</sup> and he<sup>la</sup> fled from him<sup>as</sup> and he<sup>la</sup> was saying, ‘O Jibraeel<sup>as</sup>, I<sup>la</sup> have been Granted a term, I<sup>la</sup> have been Granted a term’, until he<sup>la</sup> ended up in the sea’. Zurara (the narrator) said, ‘So I said to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘What was it that he<sup>la</sup> was afraid of since he<sup>la</sup> had been Granted a specific term?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Some parts of his<sup>la</sup> sides to be cut off’.
