[ مَوْتُ أَرْبَدَ بِصَاعِقَةِ وَمَا نَزَلَ فِيهِ وَفِي عَامِرٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ خَرَجَ أَصْحَابُهُ حِينَ وَارَوْهُ، حِينَ قَدِمُوا أَرْضَ بَنِي عَامِرٍ شَاتِينَ؛ فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا أَتَاهُمْ قَوْمُهُمْ فَقَالُوا: مَا وَرَاءَكَ يَا أَرْبَدُ ؟ قَالَ: لَا شَيْءَ وَاَللَّهِ، لَقَدْ دَعَانَا إلَى عِبَادَةِ شَيْءٍ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّهُ عِنْدِي الْآنَ، فَأَرْمِيَهُ بِالنَّبْلِ حَتَّى أَقْتُلَهُ، فَخَرَجَ بَعْدَ مَقَالَتِهِ بِيَوْمِ أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ مَعَهُ جَمْلٌ لَهُ يَتْبَعُهُ، فَأَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى جَمَلِهِ صَاعِقَةً، فَأَحْرَقَتْهُمَا. وَكَانَ أَرْبَدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ أَخَا لَبِيدِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ لِأُمِّهِ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَذَكَرَ زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي عَامِرٍ وَأَرْبَدَ: اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ أُنْثَى وَمَا تَغِيضُ الْأَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُ إلَى قَوْلِهِ وَمَا لَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِ مِنْ وَالٍ قَالَ: الْمُعَقِّبَاتُ: هِيَ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ يَحْفَظُونَ مُحَمَّدًا. ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ أَرْبَدَ وَمَا قَتَلَهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ، فَقَالَ: وَيُرْسِلُ الصَّوَاعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ إلَى قَوْلِهِ: شَدِيدُ الْمِحَالِ
Translation
✧ [The Death of Arbad by a Thunderbolt and What Was Revealed Concerning Him and ʿĀmir] Ibn Isḥāq said: Then his companions went out when they had buried him, when they arrived in the land of Banū ʿĀmir in winter; so when they arrived, their people came to them and said: What is behind you, O Arbad? He said: Nothing, by God. He called us to the worship of something which I wish were with me now, so that I could shoot it with arrows until I kill it. Then he went out one or two days after his statement, with a camel of his following him, and God Almighty sent upon him and upon his camel a thunderbolt, and it burned them both. Arbad b. Qays was the maternal brother of Labīd b. Rabīʿah. Ibn Hishām said: Zayd b. Aslam mentioned, from ʿAṭāʾ b. Yasār, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: And God, Mighty and Majestic, revealed concerning ʿĀmir and Arbad: "God knows what every female carries and what the wombs diminish and what they increase" up to His saying "and they have no protector besides Him". He said: "The successive angels" are from God's command, guarding Muḥammad ﷺ. Then He mentioned Arbad and what God killed him with, saying: "And He sends the thunderbolts and strikes with them whom He wills" up to His saying: "severe in punishment".
