Musnad Ahmad 16503

Translation

✧ On the day of Khaybar, my brother fought fiercely alongside the Messenger of God ﷺ, and his sword recoiled upon him and killed him. The companions of the Messenger of God ﷺ spoke about that and were doubtful about him, saying: A man who died by his own weapon; they doubted some aspect of his affair. Salamah said: When the Messenger of God ﷺ returned from Khaybar, I said: 'O Messenger of God, will you permit me to recite rajaz poetry for you?' The Messenger of God ﷺ permitted him. 'Umar said to him: 'Know what you are saying.' He said: I said: 'By God, had it not been for God, we would not have been guided, nor given charity, nor prayed.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'You have spoken the truth.' 'So send down tranquility upon us, and make our feet firm if we meet the enemy. The polytheists have transgressed against us.' When I finished my rajaz, the Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'Who said this?' I said: 'My brother said it.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'May God have mercy on him.' I said: 'O Messenger of God, by God, some people are afraid to pray over him, saying: A man who died by his own weapon.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'He died striving as a mujahid.'
