حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ أَبِي وَحَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ الْأَقْرَعِ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي غِفَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ: رَأَيْتُ رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلَانِ: مُسْلِمٌ وَمُشْرِكٌ، وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُعِينَ صَاحِبَهُ الْمُشْرِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَضَرَبْتُ يَدَهُ فَقَطَعْتُهَا، وَاعْتَنَقَنِي بِيَدِهِ الْأُخْرَى، فَوَاللهِ مَا أَرْسَلَنِي حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ رِيحَ الْمَوْتِ، فَلَوْلَا أَنَّ الدَّمَ نَزَفَهُ لَقَتَلَنِي، فَسَقَطَ فَضَرَبْتُهُ فَقَتَلْتُهُ وَأَجْهَضَنِي عَنْهُ الْقِتَالُ، وَمَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَسَلَبَهُ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا، وَوَضَعَتِ الْحَرْبُ أَوْزَارَهَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَنْ قَتَلَ قَتِيلًا فَسَلَبُهُ لَهُ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَدْ قَتَلْتُ قَتِيلًا ذَا سَلَبَ، فَأَجْهَضَنِي عَنْهُ الْقِتَالُ، فَلَا أَدْرِي مَنِ اسْتَلَبَهُ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ: صَدَقَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا سَلَبْتُهُ، فَأَرْضِهِ عَنِّي مِنْ سَلَبِهِ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: تَعْمِدُ إِلَى أَسَدٍ مِنْ أُسْدِ اللهِ يُقَاتِلُ عَنِ اللهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - تُقَاسِمُهُ سَلَبَهُ، ارْدُدْ عَلَيْهِ سَلَبَ قَتِيلِهِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: صَدَقَ، فَارْدُدْ عَلَيْهِ سَلَبَ قَتِيلِهِ. قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ: فَأَخَذْتُهُ مِنْهُ فَبِعْتُهُ فَاشْتَرَيْتُ بِثَمَنِهِ مَخْرَفًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَإِنَّهُ لَأَوَّلُ مَالٍ اعْتَقَدْتُهُ

✧ Abu Qatadah said: I saw two men fighting: a Muslim and a polytheist. Then a man from the polytheists wanted to help his polytheist companion against the Muslim, so I went to him and struck his hand, cutting it off. He grabbed me with his other hand, and by Allah, he did not let go of me until I sensed the smell of death. Had it not been that the blood weakened him, he would have killed me. He fell, so I struck him and killed him, but the fighting distracted me from him. A man from the people of Makkah passed by him and stripped him. When we finished and the war laid down its burdens, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever kills an enemy has his spoils.' He said: I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I killed a man who had spoils, but the fighting distracted me from him, and I do not know who stripped him.' A man from the people of Makkah said: 'He is truthful, O Messenger of Allah; I stripped him. Make him satisfied with me regarding his spoils.' He said: Abu Bakr said: 'You aim at a lion among Allah's lions who fights for Allah—Mighty and Majestic—to share his spoils? Return to him the spoils of his slain enemy.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'He is truthful. Return to him the spoils of his slain enemy.' Abu Qatadah said: I took it from him, sold it, and bought with its price a garden in Madinah. It was the first property I acquired.
