[حَدِيثُ أَمْغِيشْيَا] وَنَفَذَ خَالِدٌ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ بِفَتْحِ أَلِيسَ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ خَالِدٌ مِنْ وَقْعَةِ أَلِيسَ جَاءَ إِلَى أَمْغِيشْيَا، وَقَدْ جَلَا أَهْلُهَا فَأَمَرَ بِهَدْمِهَا، وَكَانَتْ مِصْرًّا كَالْحِيرَةِ، فَأَصَابُوا مِنْهَا مَا لَمْ يُصِيبُوا مِثْلَهُ قَطُّ، بَلَغَ سَهْمُ الْفَارِسِ أَلْفَ وَخَمْسَمِائَةٍ سِوَى النَّفْلِ الَّذِي نَفَلَهُ أَهْلُ الْبَلَاءِ. وَبَعَثَ خَالِدٌ إِلَى الصِّدِّيقِ بِالْبِشَارَةِ وَالْفَتْحِ وَالْخُمُسِ مِنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالسَّبْيِ مَعَ رَجُلٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ: جَنْدَلٌ. مِنْ بَنِي عِجْلٍ، وَكَانَ دَلِيلًا صَارِمًا، فَلَمَّا بَلَّغَ الصِّدِّيقَ الرِّسَالَةَ، وَأَدَّى الْأَمَانَةَ، أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَأَجَازَهُ جَارِيَةً مِنَ السَّبْيِ، وَقَالَ الصِّدِّيقُ: يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ، إِنَّ أَسَدَكُمْ قَدْ عَدَا عَلَى الْأَسَدِ، فَغَلَبَهُ عَلَى خَرَاذِيلِهِ، عَجَزَتِ النِّسَاءُ أَنْ تَلِدْنَ مِثْلَ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ.
Translation
✧ [The ḥadīth of Amghīshiyā] Khālid sent to Abū Bakr ؓ the news of the conquest of Alīs. When Khālid had finished the battle of Alīs, he went to Amghīshiyā; its people had already evacuated, so he ordered its demolition. It was a city like al-Ḥīrah. They obtained from it what they had never obtained the like of before: the share of a horseman reached one thousand five hundred, apart from the extra shares he granted to those who distinguished themselves. Khālid sent to al-Ṣiddīq the good tidings, the victory, and the fifth of the wealth and captives with a man called Jandal, of the Banū ʿIjl, who was a resolute guide. When he conveyed the message to al-Ṣiddīq and delivered the trust, he praised him and rewarded him with a slave girl from the captives. Al-Ṣiddīq said: 'O assembly of Quraysh, your lion has attacked the lion and overcome him over his spoils; women are incapable of giving birth to the like of Khālid b. al-Walīd.'
