Ibn Ḥiṣn's raid on the Messenger's milch-camels
[ سَبْقُ مُحْرِزٍ إلَى الْقَوْمِ وَمَقْتَلُهُ في غزوة ذات قرد ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ: أَنَّ أَوَّلَ فَارِسٍ لَحِقَ بِالْقَوْمِ مُحْرِزُ بْنُ نَضْلَةَ، أَخُو بَنِي أَسَدِ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ - وَكَانَ يُقَالُ لِمُحْرَزِ: الْأَخْرَمُ؛ وَيُقَالُ لَهُ قُمَيْرٌ - وَأَنَّ الْفَزَعَ لَمَّا كَانَ جَالَ فَرَسٌ لِمَحْمُودِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ فِي الْحَائِطِ، حِينَ سَمِعَ صَاهِلَةَ الْخَيْلِ، وَكَانَ فَرَسًا صَنِيعًا جَامًّا، فَقَالَ نِسَاءٌ مِنْ نِسَاءِ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ، حِينَ رَأَيْنَ الْفَرَسَ يَجُولُ فِي الْحَائِطِ بِجِذْعِ نَخْلٍ هُوَ مَرْبُوطٌ فِيهِ: يَا قُمَيْرُ، هَلْ لَكَ فِي أَنْ تَرْكَبَ هَذَا الْفَرَسَ ؟ فَإِنَّهُ كَمَا تَرَى، ثُمَّ تَلْحَقُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَبِالْمُسْلِمِينَ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَأَعْطَيْنَهُ إيَّاهُ. فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ بَذَّ الْخَيْلَ بِجَمَامِهِ، حَتَّى أَدْرَكَ الْقَوْمَ، فَوَقَفَ لَهُمْ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: قِفُوا يَا مَعْشَرَ بَنِي اللَّكِيعَةِ حَتَّى يَلْحَقَ بِكُمْ مَنْ وَرَاءَكُمْ مِنْ أَدْبَارِكُمْ مِنْ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ. قَالَ: وَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَقَتَلَهُ، وَجَالَ الْفَرَسُ، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى آرِيِّهِ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ، فَلَمْ يُقْتَلْ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ غَيْرُهُ
Translation
✧ [The racing ahead of Muḥriz to the people and his death in the expedition of Dhū Qarad] Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿĀṣim b. ʿUmar b. Qatādah related to me that the first horseman to catch up with the people was Muḥriz b. Naḍlah, the brother of the Banū Asad b. Khuzaymah—Muḥriz was called al-Akhram, and he was called Qumayr—and that when the fright occurred, a horse belonging to Maḥmūd b. Maslamah galloped about in the walled garden when it heard the neighing of the horses. It was a well-trained, rested horse. Some women of the women of the Banū ʿAbd al-Ashhal said, when they saw the horse galloping about in the walled garden with a palm trunk to which it was tied: 'O Qumayr, would you like to ride this horse? For it is as you see. Then you can catch up with the Messenger of God ﷺ and the Muslims.' He said: 'Yes.' So they gave it to him. He went out on it, and it was not long before he outstripped the horses with its freshness until he overtook the people. He stood before them in front of them, then said: 'Stop, O company of the Banū al-Lakīʿah, until those behind you from your rear catch up with you—of the Emigrants and the Helpers.' He said: A man from among them charged at him and killed him. The horse bolted, and they could not seize it until it stopped at its tethering place among the Banū ʿAbd al-Ashhal. No Muslim was killed other than him.
