حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ:
دَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ ابْنَ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ نُبَيْحٍ الْهُذَلِيَّ جَمَعَ لِيَ النَّاسَ لِيَغْزُوَنِي، وَهُوَ بِنَخْلَةَ، أَوْ بِعُرَنَةَ، فَأْتِهِ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، انْعَتْهُ لِي حَتَّى أَعْرِفَهُ، فَقَالَ: آيَةُ مَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ، أَنَّكَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُ وَجَدْتَ لَهُ قُشَعْرِيرَةً " قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ مُتَوَشِّحًا بِسَيْفِي حَتَّى وَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهِ فِي ظُعُنٍ يَرْتَادُ لَهُنَّ مَنْزِلًا، حِينَ كَانَ وَقْتُ الْعَصْرِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ وَجَدْتُ مَا وَصَفَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْقُشَعْرِيرَةِ، فَأَخَذْتُ نَحْوَهُ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ مُحَاوَلَةٌ تَشْغَلُنِي عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ، فَصَلَّيْتُ وَأَنَا أَمْشِي نَحْوَهُ أُومِئُ بِرَأْسِي، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ: مِمَّنِ الرَّجُلُ ؟ قُلْتُ: رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ سَمِعَ بِكَ وَبِجَمْعِكَ لِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ، فَجَاءَ لِذَلِكَ. قَالَ: أَجَلْ، إِنِّي أَنَا فِي ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَمَشَيْتُ مَعَهُ شَيْئًا حَتَّى إِذَا أَمْكَنَنِي حَمَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِالسَّيْفِ حَتَّى قَتَلْتُهُ، ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ وَتَرَكْتُ ظَعَائِنَهُ مُنْكَبَّاتٍ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَآنِي قَالَ: " قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْوَجْهُ ". قَالَ: قُلْتُ: قَتَلْتُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: " صَدَقْتَ " قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَامَ مَعِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَدْخَلَنِي بَيْتَهُ فَأَعْطَانِي عَصًا، فَقَالَ: " أَمْسِكْ هَذِهِ الْعَصَا عِنْدَكَ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أُنَيْسٍ ". قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ بِهَا عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَقَالُوا: مَا هَذِهِ الْعَصَا ؟ قُلْتُ: أَعْطَانِيهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُمْسِكَهَا. قَالُوا: أَفَلَا تَرْجِعُ فَتَسْأَلَهُ: لِمَ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ: فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لِمَ أَعْطَيْتَنِي هَذِهِ الْعَصَا ؟ قَالَ: " آيَةٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، إِنَّ أَقَلَّ النَّاسِ الْمُخْتَصِرُونَ - أَوِ: الْمُتَخَصِّرُونَ - يَوْمَئِذٍ. فَقَرَنَهَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بِسَيْفِهِ، فَلَمْ تَزَلْ مَعَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا مَاتَ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَضُمَّتْ مَعَهُ فِي كَفَنِهِ، ثُمَّ دُفِنَا جَمِيعًا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and said: 'It has reached me that Ibn Sufyan b. Nubayh al-Hudhali has gathered people against me to raid me, and he is at Nakhlah or Uranah. Go to him.' He said: I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, describe him to me so I may recognize him.' He said: 'The sign between you and him is that when you see him, you will feel a shuddering.' He said: I went out with my sword slung over my shoulder until I came upon him among women in howdahs, seeking a place for them, at the time of Asr. When I saw him, I felt what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had described to me of shuddering. I approached him, but I feared that there might be an encounter between me and him that would distract me from prayer. So I prayed while walking toward him, gesturing with my head. When I reached him, he said: 'Who is the man?' I said: 'A man from the Arabs who heard of you and your gathering against this man, and he came for that.' He said: 'Yes, I am indeed in that.' He said: I walked with him a little until I could, then I attacked him with the sword and killed him. Then I left, leaving his women bowed over him. When I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he saw me and said: 'The face has succeeded.' He said: I said: 'I killed him, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'You have spoken the truth.' He said: Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood with me, took me into his house, and gave me a staff, saying: 'Keep this staff with you, O Abdullah b. Unays.' He said: I went out with it to the people. They said: 'What is this staff?' I said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave it to me and ordered me to keep it.' They said: 'Will you not go back and ask him why?' He said: I went back to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, why did you give me this staff?' He said: 'It is a sign between me and you on the Day of Resurrection. The fewest people on that day will be those who carry staffs'—or: 'who lean on staffs.' So Abdullah tied it to his sword, and it remained with him until he died. Then he ordered that it be placed with him in his shroud, and they were buried together.
