حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: ابْنِ شِهَابٍ (١) ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، أَنَّ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ الْأَكْوَعِ قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ خَيْبَرَ قَاتَلَ أَخِي قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَارْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ سَيْفُهُ فَقَتَلَهُ، فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ، وَشَكُّوا فِيهِ رَجُلٌ مَاتَ بِسِلَاحِهِ شَكُّوا فِي بَعْضِ أَمْرِهِ، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ: فَقَفَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أَرْجُزَ بِكَ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: اعْلَمْ مَا تَقُولُ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ:، وَاللهِ لَوْلَا اللهُ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا ... وَلَا تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلَا صَلَّيْنَا،، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " صَدَقْتَ "،، ، [البحر الرجز]، فَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا ... وَثَبِّتِ الْأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لَاقَيْنَا، وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا،، فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ رَجَزِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ قَالَ هَذَا؟ "، قُلْتُ: أَخِي قَالَهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَرْحَمُهُ اللهُ "، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَاللهِ إِنَّ نَاسًا لَيَهَابُونَ أَنْ يُصَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ، وَيَقُولُونَ: رَجُلٌ مَاتَ بِسِلَاحِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَاتَ جَاهِدًا مُجَاهِدًا "، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ فَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ أَبِيهِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي عَنْهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ مَعَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَهَابُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِ، كَذَبُوا، مَاتَ جَاهِدًا مُجَاهِدًا فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ "، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the Battle of Khaybar, my brother (according to another narration, my uncle) fought fiercely in the company of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), but during the battle, his sword slipped and struck himself, and he was martyred by its blade. The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) began to express doubts and whisper among themselves about him, saying that he was killed by his own weapon. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) returned, I said: O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) May I have your permission to recite rajaz poetry? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) granted permission. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Speak thoughtfully. While reciting poetry, I said: By Allah! If it were not for Allah, we would never have been guided, nor given charity, nor prayed. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: You have spoken the truth. I further said: O Allah! Send down tranquility upon us and grant us steadfastness when facing the enemy, for the polytheists have girded themselves against us in rebellion. When I completed my rajaz poetry, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: Who composed these verses? I replied: My brother composed them. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: May Allah’s mercy descend upon him. I said: O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Some people are hesitant to perform his funeral prayer and say that he died by his own weapon. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: He was martyred as a striving mujahid. In another chain, it is also mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Those who are hesitant to perform his funeral prayer are mistaken; he was martyred as a striving mujahid and will receive a double reward. Saying this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gestured with two fingers.
