(حديث مرفوع) حدثنا حماد بن مسعدة ، عن يزيد يعني ابن ابي عبيد ، عن سلمة ، قال: كنت جالسا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فاتي بجنازة، فقال:" هل ترك من دين؟"، قالوا: لا، قال:" هل ترك من شيء؟"، قالوا: لا، قال: فصلى عليه، ثم اتي باخرى، فقال:" هل ترك من دين؟"، قالوا: لا، قال:" هل ترك من شيء؟"، قالوا: نعم، ثلاثة دنانير، قال: فقال باصابعه: ثلاث كيات، قال: ثم اتي بالثالثة، فقال:" هل ترك من دين؟"، قالوا: نعم، قال:" هل ترك من شيء؟"، قالوا: لا، قال:" صلوا على صاحبكم"، فقال رجل من الانصار: علي دينه يا رسول الله، قال: فصلى عليه.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a funeral was brought. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked:“Did he leave behind any debt?”The people replied,“No.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked:“Did he leave any inheritance?”The people replied,“No.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led his funeral prayer. Then another funeral was brought and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the same:“Did he leave behind any debt?”The people replied,“No.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked:“Did he leave any inheritance?”The people replied,“Yes! Three dinars.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his fingers and said:“Three marks of Hellfire.”Then a third funeral was brought and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked as before:“Did he leave behind any debt?”The people replied,“Yes!”Then he asked:“Did he leave any inheritance?”The people replied,“Yes!”Then he asked:“Did he leave any inheritance?”The people replied,“No.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Then you should offer the funeral prayer of your companion yourselves.”At this, an Ansari said:“O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! His debt is upon me.”So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led his funeral prayer as well.

(حديث مرفوع) حدثنا حماد ، عن يزيد ، عن سلمة ، قال: كان عامر رجلا شاعرا، فنزل يحدو، قال: ويقول: اللهم لولا انت ما اهتدينا ولا تصدقنا ولا صلينا فاغفر فدى لك ما اتينا وثبت الاقدام إن لاقينا والقين سكينة علينا إنا إذا صيح بنا اتينا وبالصياح عولوا علينا، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم:" من هذا الحادي؟"، قالوا: ابن الاكوع، قال:" يرحمه الله"، قال: فقال رجل: وجبت يا رسول الله، لولا امتعتنا به، قال: فاصيب ذهب يضرب رجلا يهوديا من إل، فاصاب ذباب السيف عين ركبته، فقال الناس: حبط عمله قتل نفسه، قال: فجئت إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بعد ان قدم المدينة وهو في المسجد، فقلت: يا رسول الله، يزعمون ان عامرا حبط عمله، قال:" ومن يقوله؟"، قال: قلت: رجال من الانصار منهم فلان وفلان، قال:" كذب من قاله، إن له لاجرين بإصبعيه وإنه لجاهد مجاهد، وقل عربي مشى بها يريدك عليه".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that (my brother) ‘Amir was a poet. When he camped at a place, he began to recite these verses of Hadi:

“O Allah! If it were not for You, we would not have been guided,
We would not have given charity nor performed prayer.
We sacrifice for You; now that we have come, forgive us,
And grant us steadfastness when we face the enemy,
And send down tranquility upon us.
When we are called, we respond,
And people trust and rely on us just by calling out to us.”

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked,“Who is the reciter of this Hadi?”The people replied,“It is Ibn Akwa’.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“May Allah have mercy on him.”Upon hearing this, a man said,“It has become obligatory, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Why did you not let us benefit from him?”The narrator says that in that very expedition, ‘Amir was martyred. He had advanced to kill a Jew, but the edge of his sword recoiled and struck his own knee, and thus he was martyred.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered a man from the tribe of Aslam on the day of ‘Ashura to announce among the people that whoever is fasting today should complete his fast, and whoever has eaten or drunk something should not eat or drink anything further and should complete the fast until the end of its time.

(حديث مرفوع) حدثنا صفوان ، عن يزيد بن ابي عبيد ، عن سلمة ، قال: لما قدمنا خيبر، راى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم نيرانا توقد، فقال:" علام توقد هذه النيران؟"، قالوا: على لحوم الحمر الاهلية، قال:" كسروا القدور، واهريقوا ما فيها"، قال: فقام رجل من القوم، فقال: يا رسول الله، انهريق ما فيها، ونغسلها؟، قال:" اوذاك".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that when we were returning from Khaybar, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw some fires burning at various places. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked,“For what purpose have these fires been lit?”The people replied,“To cook the meat of domesticated donkeys.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Turn over the pots and spill out whatever is in them.”One of the people asked,“O Messenger of Allah! Should we spill out what is in them and also wash the pots?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Then what else?”

(حديث مرفوع) حدثني مكي بن إبراهيم ، قال: حدثنا يزيد بن ابي عبيد ، عن سلمة بن الاكوع ، انه اخبره، قال: خرجت من المدينة ذاهبا نحو الغابة، حتى إذا كنت بثنية الغابة، لقيني غلام لعبد الرحمن بن عوف، قال: قلت: ويحك، ما لك؟، قال: اخذت لقاح رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال: قلت: من اخذها، قال: غطفان، وفزارة، قال: فصرخت ثلاث صرخات اسمعت من بين لابتيها: يا صباحاه! يا صباحاه! ثم اندفعت حتى القاهم، وقد اخذوها، قال: فجعلت ارميهم، واقول: انا ابن الاكوع واليوم يوم اقرع، قال: فاستنقذتها منهم قبل ان يشربوا، فاقبلت بها اسوقها، فلقيني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقلت: يا رسول الله، إن القوم عطاش، وإني اعجلتهم قبل ان يشربوا، فاذهب في اثرهم؟، فقال:" يا ابن الاكوع، ملكت فاسجح، إن القوم يقرون في قومهم".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I set out from Madinah Munawwarah to go to“Ghabah.”When I reached its summit, I met a slave of Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him). I asked him:“Hey, what’s the matter? (Why are you so anxious?)”He said:“The she-camels of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) have been snatched.”I asked:“Who has taken them?”He replied:“Abu Ghatfan and Banu Fazarah.”Upon this, I shouted“Ya Sabahah!”three times so loudly that my voice reached both ends of Madinah Munawwarah. Then I set off after them until I caught up with them. Indeed, they had seized the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) she-camels. I began showering arrows upon them and reciting this verse:“I am the son of Akwa’, today is the day to strike fear into the enemies.”Eventually, I recovered those she-camels from them, while they had not yet even drunk water. Then I drove them back and set off for home. On the way, I met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I said:“O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) Those people were still thirsty when I caught up with them before they could drink water, so you should set out after them.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“O son of Akwa’! You have overpowered them (and recovered your property), now deal gently with them. Now, your people will be hosting those people as guests.”

(حديث مرفوع) حدثنا مكي ، قال: حدثنا يزيد بن ابي عبيد ، قال: رايت اثر ضربة في ساق سلمة ، فقلت:" يا ابا مسلم، ما هذه الضربة؟، قال: هذه ضربة اصابتها يوم خيبر، قال: يوم اصبتها قال الناس: اصيب سلمة، فاتي بي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فنفث فيه ثلاث نفثات، فما اشتكيتها حتى الساعة".
Yazid bin Abu Ubaid says that once I saw a scar from a wound on the shin of Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’. I asked him,“O Abu Muslim! What is this scar?”He replied,“I received this wound during the Battle of Khaybar. When I was struck, people said, ‘Salamah is finished.’ But then I was brought to the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), and the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) blew on it three times, and since then I have never felt any pain from it again.”

I asked him: O Abu Muslim! I see you giving special attention to this pillar; what is the reason for this? He replied: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) praying with special attention near this pillar.

(حديث مرفوع) حدثنا عبد الصمد ، قال: حدثنا عكرمة ، قال: حدثنا إياس ، قال: حدثني ابي ، قال: قدمنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الحديبية، ونحن اربع عشرة مئة وعليها خمسون شاة لا ترويها، فقعد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على جبالها، فإما دعا وإما بسق، فجاشت فسقينا واستقينا، قال: ثم إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم دعا بالبيعة في اصل الشجرة، فبايعه اول الناس، وبايع وبايع، حتى إذا كان في وسط من الناس، قال:" يا سلمة، بايعني"، قلت: قد بايعتك في اول الناس يا رسول الله، قال:" وايضا فبايع" ورآني اعزلا، فاعطاني حجفة، او درقة، ثم بايع وبايع، حتى إذا كان في آخر الناس، قال:" الا تبايعني؟"، قال: قلت: يا رسول الله، بايعت اول الناس واوسطهم وآخرهم، قال:" وايضا فبايع" فبايعته، ثم قال:" اين درقتك او حجفتك التي اعطيتك؟"، قال: قلت: يا رسول الله، لقيني عمي عامر اعزلا، فاعطيته إياها، قال: فقال:" إنك كالذي، قال: اللهم ابغني حبيبا هو احب إلي من نفسي" وضحك، ثم إن المشركين راسلونا الصلح، حتى مشى بعضنا إلى بعض، قال: وكنت تبيعا لطلحة بن عبيد الله احس فرسه، واسقيه، وآكل من طعامه، وتركت اهلي ومالي مهاجرا إلى الله ورسوله، فلما اصطلحنا نحن واهل مكة، واختلط بعضنا ببعض، اتيت الشجرة، فكسحت شوكها، واضطجعت في ظلها، فاتاني اربعة من اهل مكة، فجعلوا وهم مشركون يقعون في رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فتحولت عنهم إلى شجرة اخرى، وعلقوا سلاحهم، واضطجعوا، فبينما هم كذلك إذ نادى مناد من اسفل الوادي: يا آل المهاجرين، قتل ابن زنيم، فاخترطت سيفي، فشددت على الاربعة، فاخذت سلاحهم، فجعلته ضغثا، ثم قلت: والذي اكرم محمدا، لا يرفع رجل منكم راسه إلا ضربت الذي يعني فيه عيناه فجئت اسوقهم إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وجاء عمي عامر بابن مكرز يقود به فرسه يقود سبعين، حتى وقفناهم، فنظر إليهم، فقال:" دعوهم، يكون لهم بدو الفجور" وعفا عنهم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وانزلت: وهو الذي كف ايديهم عنكم وايديكم عنهم سورة الفتح آية 24 ثم رجعنا إلى المدينة، فنزلنا منزلا، يقال له: لحي جمل، فاستغفر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لمن رقي الجبل في تلك الليلة، كانه طليعة لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم واصحابه، فرقيت تلك الليلة مرتين او ثلاثة، ثم قدمنا المدينة، وبعث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بظهره مع غلامه رباح وانا معه، وخرجت بفرس طلحة انديه على ظهره، فلما اصبحنا إذا عبد الرحمن بن عيينة الفزاري قد اغار على ظهر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فانتسفه اجمع، وقتل راعيه.
Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we came with the Messenger of Allah to the place of Hudaybiyyah, and we were fourteen hundred in number, and we had fifty goats with us, which were not getting enough water. The narrator says that the Messenger of Allah sat at the edge of the well, and either he supplicated or he put his saliva into it. The narrator says that then the water in the well began to gush forth. Then we watered our animals and ourselves as well. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called us to pledge allegiance under the root of a tree. The narrator says that among the people, I was the first to pledge allegiance, then others did so, until when half the people had pledged, he said:“Salamah, pledge allegiance.”I said:“O Messenger of Allah! I have already pledged allegiance first of all.”He said:“Then do it again.”And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw that I had no weapon or anything with me, so he gave me a shield. (After that) the process of pledging allegiance started again. When all the people had pledged, he said:“O Salamah! Did you not pledge allegiance?”I said:“O Messenger of Allah! I was the first among the people to pledge, and I also pledged among the people.”He said:“Then do it again.”Sayyiduna Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I pledged allegiance for the third time. Then he said to me:“O Salamah! Where is the shield I gave you?”I said:“O Messenger of Allah! My uncle ‘Amir had no weapon, so I gave him that shield.”Sayyiduna Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said:“You are like the man who was the first to supplicate, ‘O Allah! Grant me a friend who is dearer to me than my own soul.’”Then the polytheists sent us a message for reconciliation, until people from each side began to go to the other, and we made peace. Sayyiduna Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was in the service of Sayyiduna Talhah bin ‘Ubaydullah, and I used to water his horse, graze it, serve him, and eat with him, because I had migrated to Allah and His Messenger, leaving my family and my wealth behind. Then, when peace was established between us and the people of Makkah, and people began to mix with each other, I came to a tree, cleared the thorns from under it, and lay down at its root. Meanwhile, four men from the polytheists of Makkah came and began to speak ill of the Messenger of Allah. I became very angry at these polytheists, so I moved to another tree, and they hung their weapons and lay down. While they were in this state, suddenly a caller from the valley below shouted:“O Muhajirun! Ibn Zunaim has been martyred!”As soon as I heard this, I drew my sword and attacked those four while they were sleeping, took their weapons, bundled them together in my hand, and said:“By the One Who honored the noble face of Muhammad, none of you should raise his head, otherwise I will strike you in the part between your two eyes.”The narrator says: Then I dragged them to the Messenger of Allah, and my uncle ‘Amir also brought seventy men from the polytheists with Ibn Makraz to the Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at them and then said:“Let them go, for the beginning of the dispute was from their side, and the repetition was also from their side.”In short, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forgave them, and Allah the Exalted revealed this blessed Ayah:“And He it is Who withheld their hands from you and your hands from them in the valley of Makkah after He had given you victory over them.”Then we set out towards Madinah. On the way, we stopped at a place where a mountain stood between us and the polytheists of Banu Lihyan. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for forgiveness for the man who would climb the mountain and keep watch for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions. Sayyiduna Salamah says: I climbed that mountain two or three times. Then we reached Madinah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent his camels with Rabah, who was the slave of the Messenger of Allah. I also set out with those camels, riding on the horse of Sayyiduna Abu Talhah. When morning came, ‘Abdur Rahman Fazari...
