question #2 Sahih al-Bukhari 4325, Book 64, Hadith 355 : What was the reaction of the Companions when the Prophet (ﷺ) decided to return to Medina without conquering Taif?

When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) besieged Taif and could not conquer its people, he said, “We will return (to
Medina) If Allah wills.” That distressed the Companions (of the Prophet (ﷺ) and they said, “Shall we go
away without conquering it (i.e. the Fort of Taif)?” Once the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Let us return.” Then the
Prophet said (to them), “Fight tomorrow.” They fought and (many of them) got wounded, whereupon
the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “We will return (to Medina) tomorrow if Allah wills.” That delighted them,
whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) smiled. The sub-narrator, Sufyan said once, “(The Prophet) smiled.”
