أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ
أَنَّ مَدَدِيًّا فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ رَافَقَهُمْ وَأَنَّ رُومِيًّا كَانَ يَسْمُو عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَيُغْرِي عَلَيْهِمْ فَتَلَطَّفَ الْمَدَدِيُّ فَقَعَدَ تَحْتَ صَخْرَةٍ فَلَمَّا مَرَّ بِهِ عَرْقَبَ فَرَسَهُ وَخَرَّ الرُّومِيُّ لِقَفَاهُ وَعَلَاهُ الْمَدَدِيُّ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَتَلَهُ وَأَقْبَلَ بِسَرْجِهِ وَلِجَامِهِ وَسَيْفِهِ وَمِنْطَقَتِهِ وَسِلَاحِهِ فَذَهَبَا بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْجَوْهَرِ إِلَى خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ فَأَخَذَ خَالِدٌ مِنْهُ طَائِفَةً وَنَفَّلَهُ بَقِيَّتَهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا خَالِدُ مَا هَذَا؟ أَمَا تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَفَّلَ السَّلَبَ كُلَّهُ لِلْقَاتِلِ؟ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنِّي اسْتَكْثَرْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ أَمَا لَعَمْرِ اللَّهِ لَأُعَرِّفَنَّهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ خَبَرَهُ فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ إِلَى الْمَدَدِيِّ بَقِيَّةَ سَلَبِهِ فَوَلَّى خَالِدٌ لِيَفْعَلَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَكَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ يَا خَالِدُ أَلَمْ أَفِ لَكَ بِمَا وَعَدْتُكَ فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ «يَا خَالِدُ لَا تُعْطِهِ وَأَقْبِلْ عَلَيَّ» فَقَالَ «هَلْ أَنْتُمْ تَارِكُوا لِي أُمَرَائِي؟ لَكُمْ صَفْوَةُ أَمْرِهِمْ وَعَلَيْهِمْ كَدَرُهُ»

✧ A reinforcement fighter in the expedition of Tabuk accompanied them. A Roman was towering over the Muslims and inciting against them. The reinforcement fighter took a subtle position and sat under a rock. When the Roman passed by, he hamstrung his horse, and the Roman fell on the back of his neck. The reinforcement fighter attacked him with the sword and killed him, and came with his saddle, bridle, sword, belt, and weapons. They took the gold and jewels to Khalid b. al-Walid. Khalid took a portion from him and gave him the rest as extra. I said to him: “O Khalid, what is this? Do you not know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave the entire spoils to the killer?” He said: “Yes, but I considered it too much.” I said: “By the life of Allah, I will make it known to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” When we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I told him his story. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and ordered him to give the reinforcement fighter the rest of his spoils. Khalid turned to do it. I said to him: “How do you see, O Khalid, did I not fulfill for you what I promised you?” The Messenger of Allah became angry and said: «O Khalid, do not give it to him, and turn to me.» He said: «Will you leave my commanders alone? You have the best of their affairs, and upon them is its trouble.»
