حدثنا ابو عبد الله محمد بن احمد بن بطة الاصبهاني، حدثنا الحسن بن الجهم، حدثنا الحسين بن الفرج، حدثنا محمد بن عمر، حدثنا موسى بن محمد بن إبراهيم التيمي، عن ابيه وعبد الله بن جعفر، عن ابن ابي عون، وسعد بن إبراهيم ومحمد بن صالح، عن عاصم بن عمر، في مؤاخاة رسول الله ﷺ بين المهاجرين والانصار من بني هاشم: علي بن ابي طالب وسهل بن حنيف ﵄ (1).
It is narrated from Asim bin Umar concerning the Companions between whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) established brotherhood from among the Muhajirun and the Ansar. Regarding Banu Hashim, he states that he (peace and blessings be upon him) established brotherhood between Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib and Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hunayf (may Allah be pleased with them both).

Reference / Source: Ibn Sa'd narrated it in "al-Tabaqat" (3/ 21) from Muhammad bin Umar al-Waqidi with all three chains.
(1) وأخرجه ابن سعد في "طبقاته" 3/ 21 عن محمد بن عمر - وهو الواقدي - بالأسانيد الثلاثة.
Important point: Ibn Ishaq mentioned something contrary to this regarding the mu'akhat (bond of brotherhood). He says the mu'akhat was between the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself and Ali bin Abi Talib, as in "Sirat Ibn Hisham" (1/ 505): the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took Ali's hand and said: "This is my brother."
وقد ذكر ابن إسحاق ما يخالف هذا في شأن المؤاخاة، وأنَّ المؤاخاة كانت بين النبي ﷺ وبين علي بن أبي طالب كما في "سيرة ابن هشام" 1/ 505، وأنَّ رسول الله ﷺ أخذ بيد علي بن أبي طالب، فقال: هذا أخي.
Reference / Source: And in the hadith of Ali bin Abi Talib that has already passed under number (4685), he said: "By Allah! I am his (the Prophet's, peace and blessings be upon him) brother, his wali and his cousin." Its chain has some weakness (lin).
وفي حديث علي بن أبي طالب الذي تقدَّم برقم (4685) قال: والله إني لأخُوه ووليُّه وابن عمّه. وإسناده فيه لِينٌ.

قال ابن عمر: وشهد سهل بن حنيف بدرا واحدا، وثبت مع رسول الله ﷺ يوم احد حين انكشف الناس عنه، وبايعه على الموت، وجعل ينضح يومئذ بالنبل عن رسول الله ﷺ، فقال رسول الله ﷺ:"نبلوا سهلا، فإنه سهل". قال: وشهد ايضا الخندق والمشاهد كلها مع رسول الله ﷺ، وشهد مع علي بن ابي طالب صفين (2).
Muhammad bin Umar states that Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hunayf (may Allah be pleased with him) took part in the Battles of Badr and Uhud, and on the day of Uhud, when the people had scattered, he stood firm with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He pledged allegiance to him (peace and blessings be upon him) unto death, and that day he kept shooting arrows in defence of him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Supply Sahl with arrows, for he is sahl (that is, generous and gentle)." He also took part in the Battle of al-Khandaq and in all the battles alongside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he also took part in the Battle of Siffin with Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him).

Reference / Source: Al-Waqidi mentioned in "al-Maghazi" (1/ 253) the story of Sahl bin Hunayf on the day of Uhud and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Give Sahl arrows," opening it with "qalu" (they said). This means that he narrated it from the same men whose mention passed before it in the report about the mu'akhat.
(2) ذكر الواقدي في "مغازيه" 1/ 253 قصة سهل بن حنيف يوم أُحُد وقول النبي ﷺ يومئذٍ "نبِّلو سهلًا … " مُصدِّرًا ذلك بقوله: قالوا وهذا يعني أنه رواه عن رجاله الذين تقدَّم ذكرهم في خبر المؤاخاة قبله.
Reference / Source: In Ibn Sa'd's "al-Tabaqat" (3/ 437) this entire account is present, and it begins thus: "They said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) established brotherhood between Sahl bin Hunayf and Ali bin Abi Talib. Sahl was present at Badr and Uhud."
ووقع عند ابن سعد في "طبقاته" 3/ 437 جميع ما جاء هنا من قوله هو مصدِّرًا ذلك بقوله: قالوا: وآخي رسول الله ﷺ بين سهل بن حنيف وعلي بن أبي طالب، شهد سهل بدرًا وأحدًا …
