The Detachment of al-Mundhir b. 'Amr to Bi'r Ma'unah (the Detachment of the Qur'an Reciters)
رَوَى الْبُخَارِيُّ مِنْ طَرِيقِ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ: «لَمَّا قُتِلَ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا بِبِئْرِ مَعُونَةَ وَأُسِرَ عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ، قَالَ عَامِرُ بْنُ الطُّفَيْلِ لِعَمْرٍو: مَنْ هَذَا ؟ وَأَشَارَ إِلَى قَتِيلٍ، فَقَالَ: هَذَا عَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ! فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ بَعْدَ مَا قُتِلَ رُفِعَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، حَتَّى إِنِّي لَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ وُضِعَ». وَرَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ أَنَّ عَامِرَ بْنَ الطُّفَيْلِ قَالَ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ: هَلْ تَعْرِفُ أَصْحَابَكَ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَطَافَ فِي الْقَتْلَى وَجَعَلَ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ أَنْسَابِهِمْ. فَقَالَ: هَلْ تَفْقِدُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا ؟ قَالَ: أَفْقِدُ مَوْلًى لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ، فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ كَانَ فِيكُمْ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: كَانَ مِنْ أَفْضَلِنَا، وَمِنْ أَوَّلِ أَصْحَابِ نَبِيِّنَا، فَقَالَ: أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ خَبَرَهُ ؟ وَأَشَارَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ، فَقَالَ: هَذَا طَعَنَهُ بِرُمْحِهِ ثُمَّ انْتَزَعَ رُمْحَهُ فَذَهَبَ بِالرَّجُلِ عُلُوًّا فِي السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى مَا أَرَاهُ. وَكَانَ الَّذِي طَعَنَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي كِلَابٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ جَبَّارُ بْنُ سُلْمَى، وَأَسْلَمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ. وَذَكَرَ أَبُو عُمَرَ فِي الِاسْتِيعَابِ. فِي تَرْجَمَةِ عَامِرِ بْنِ فُهَيْرَةَ أَنَّ عَامِرَ بْنَ الطُّفَيْلِ قَتَلَهُ، مَعَ ذِكْرِهِ فِي تَرْجَمَةِ جَبَّارٍ أَنَّهُ هُوَ الَّذِي قَتَلَ ابْنَ فُهَيْرَةَ، وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ. وَرَوَى الْبَيْهَقِيُّ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمَّا طَعَنْتُهُ: فُزْتُ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ، قُلْتُ فِي قَلْبِي: مَا مَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ: «فُزْتُ»، أَلَيْسَ قَدْ قَتَلْتُهُ ؟ قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُ الضَّحَّاكَ بْنَ سُفْيَانَ الْكِلَابِيَّ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَا كَانَ وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ: فُزْتُ، فَقَالَ: بِالْجَنَّةِ. فَقُلْتُ: فَفَازَ لَعَمْرُ اللَّهِ. قَالَ: وَعَرَضَ عَلَيَّ الْإِسْلَامَ فَأَسْلَمْتُ وَدَعَانِي إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ مَقْتَلِ عَامِرِ بْنِ فُهَيْرَةَ مِنْ رَفْعِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ عُلُوًّا. وَكَتَبَ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُخْبِرُهُ بِإِسْلَامِي وَمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ مَقْتَلِ عَامِرِ بْنِ فُهَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ. «إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ وَارَتْ جُثَّتَهُ وَأُنْزِلَ عِلِّيِّينَ» قَالَ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: يُحْتَمَلُ أَنَّهُ رُفِعَ ثُمَّ وُضِعَ ثُمَّ فُقِدَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، لِيَجْتَمِعَ مَعَ رِوَايَةِ الْبُخَارِيِّ السَّابِقَةِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، فَإِنَّ فِيهَا: ثُمَّ وُضِعَ، فَقَدْ رُوِّينَاهُ فِي مَغَازِي مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ فِي هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ. قَالَ فَقَالَ عُرْوَةُ: لَمْ يُوجَدْ جَسَدُ عَامِرٍ، يَرْوُونَ أَنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ وَارَتْهُ. ثُمَّ رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ مَوْصُولًا بِلَفْظِ: (لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ بَعْدَ مَا قُتِلَ رُفِعَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى إِنِّي لَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْأَرْضِ ) وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهَا ثُمَّ وُضِعَ. قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: فَقَوِيَتِ الطُّرُقُ وَتَعَدَّدَتْ لِمُوَارَاتِهِ فِي السَّمَاءِ.
Translation
✧ Al-Bukhārī narrated from the route of Hishām b. ʿUrwah who said: My father informed me, saying: “When those who were killed at Biʾr Maʿūnah were killed and ʿAmr b. Umayyah was taken captive, ʿĀmir b. al-Ṭufayl said to ʿAmr: ‘Who is this?’ and he pointed to a slain man. He said: ‘This is ʿĀmir b. Fuhayrah!’ He said: ‘I saw him after he was killed raised up to the sky, until I looked at the sky between him and the earth, then he was placed down.’” And Muḥammad b. ʿUmar narrated from Abū al-Aswad from ʿUrwah that ʿĀmir b. al-Ṭufayl said to ʿAmr b. Umayyah: “Do you recognize your companions?” He said: “Yes.” He said: “So he went around among the slain and began asking him about their lineages. Then he said: ‘Do you miss anyone of them?’ He said: ‘I miss a client of Abū Bakr called ʿĀmir b. Fuhayrah.’ He said: ‘How was he among you?’ He said: ‘I said: He was one of the best of us, and one of the first companions of our Prophet.’ He said: ‘Shall I tell you his news?’ And he pointed to a man and said: ‘This one thrust him with his spear, then pulled out his spear and the man went up high into the sky until I could not see him.’ The one who thrust him was a man of Banū Kilāb called Jabbār b. Sulmā, and he later embraced Islam. Abū ʿUmar mentioned this in al-Istīʿāb. In the biography of ʿĀmir b. Fuhayrah, he mentioned that ʿĀmir b. al-Ṭufayl killed him, while also mentioning in the biography of Jabbār that he was the one who killed Ibn Fuhayrah. And Allah knows best. And al-Bayhaqī narrated from him that he said: “When I thrust him, he said: ‘I have won, by the Lord of the Kaʿbah.’ I said in my heart: ‘What is the meaning of his saying “I have won”? Did I not kill him?’ He said: ‘So I went to al-Ḍaḥḥāk b. Sufyān al-Kilābī and told him what had happened and asked him about his saying “I have won.” He said: “With Paradise.” I said: “Then he won, by the life of Allah.”’ He said: ‘He offered Islam to me and I embraced Islam. What called me to Islam was what I saw of the killing of ʿĀmir b. Fuhayrah—his being raised up high to the sky.’ And al-Ḍaḥḥāk b. Sufyān wrote to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informing him of my Islam and of what I saw of the killing of ʿĀmir b. Fuhayrah. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The angels concealed his body, and he was brought down to ʿIlliyyīn.” Al-Bayhaqī, may Allah have mercy on him, said: “It is possible that he was raised up, then placed down, then lost after that, so as to reconcile with the previous narration of al-Bukhārī from ʿUrwah, for in it is ‘then he was placed down.’ We have narrated it in the Maghāzī of Mūsā b. ʿUqbah in this story. He said: ʿUrwah said: ‘The body of ʿĀmir was not found; they narrate that the angels concealed it.’” Then al-Bayhaqī narrated it from ʿĀʾishah as a connected report with the wording: “I saw him after he was killed raised up to the sky until I looked at the sky between him and the earth,” and he did not mention in it “then he was placed down.” Al-Shaykh, may Allah have mercy on him, said: “The routes have become strong and numerous for his being concealed in the sky.”
