20.8 旗帜与横幅
20.8 Flags And Banners
需要有旗帜和军旗。旗(liwa)与军旗(rayah)的区别在于:旗(liwa)是系在矛的末端并弯折绕在矛上的东西,它被称为“al-‘alam”(标志)。据说它被称为“liwa”,是因为它体积较大,因此弯折收起,只有在需要时才展开。它是一面大的标志,是军队统帅的标识,所以无论统帅在何处,它都会被竖立起来。至于军旗(rayah),它是授予军队的标识,比喻性地被称为“战争之母”,其复数形式为“rayat”。军旗系在矛或桅杆上,任其随风飘扬。
It is necessary to have the flags and banners. The difference between the flag and banner is that the flag (liwa) is what is tied at the edge of a spear and bent around it, and it is called “al-‘alam” (the standard). It is said it is called “liwa” because it is bent due to its largeness so it is not spread except when necessary. It is a large standard and a sign for the Amir of the army, so it is enacted wherever he is. As for the banner (rayah), it is a sign given to the army and is metaphorically called the “mother of war” and its plural is “rayat”. The banner is tied on a spear or a mast and is left until the wind swirls it.
伊斯兰军队在先知时代就有其旗帜和军旗。布哈里根据艾奈斯的传述记载,先知ﷺ在关于泽德(愿主喜悦他)、哲尔法尔(愿主喜悦他)和伊本·赖瓦哈(愿主喜悦他)的消息传到人们那里之前,就向众人宣布了他们的死讯,并说:
The Islamic army in the times of the Messenger (saw) had its banners and flags. Al-Bukhari narrated from Anas that the Prophet (saw) announced the death of Zayd (ra) , Ja’far (ra) and ibn Rawaha (ra) to the people before their news reached the people and said:
