[ تَقْسِيمُ عَوْفٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ الْجَزُورَ بَيْنَ قَوْمٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: أَخْبَرَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ أَنَّهُ حُدِّثَ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ فِي الْغَزَاةِ الَّتِي بَعَثَ فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ إلَى ذَاتِ السَّلَاسِلِ، قَالَ: فَصَحِبْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ، فَمَرَرْتُ بِقَوْمِ عَلَى جَزُورٍ لَهُمْ قَدْ نَحَرُوهَا، وَهُمْ لَا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْ يُعْضُوهَا، قَالَ: وَكُنْتُ امْرَأً لَبِقًا جَازِرًا، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: أَتُعْطُونَنِي مِنْهَا عَشِيرًا عَلَى أَنْ أَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذْتُ الشَّفْرَتَيْنِ، فَجَزَّأْتهَا مَكَانِي، وَأَخَذْتُ مِنْهَا جُزْءًا، فَحَمَلْتُهُ إلَى أَصْحَابِي، فَاطَّبَخْنَاهُ فَأَكَلْنَاهُ. فَقَالَ لِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ ؓ: أَنَّى لَكَ هَذَا اللَّحْمُ يَا عَوْفُ ؟ قَالَ: فَأَخْبَرْتهمَا خَبَرَهُ؛ فَقَالَا: وَاَللَّهِ مَا أَحْسَنْتُ حِينَ أَطْعَمْتنَا هَذَا، ثُمَّ قَامَا يَتَقَيَّآنِ مَا فِي بُطُونِهِمَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا قَفَلَ النَّاسُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ السَّفَرِ، كُنْتُ أَوَّلَ قَادِمٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: فَجِئْتُهُ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِهِ؛ قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ؛ قَالَ: أَعَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي؛ قَالَ: أَصَاحِبُ الْجَزُورِ ؟ وَلَمْ يَزِدْنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا
Translation
✧ [ The division of the camel by ʿAwf al-Ashjaʿī among a people ] Ibn Isḥāq said: Yazīd b. Abī Ḥabīb informed me that he was told on the authority of ʿAwf b. Mālik al-Ashjaʿī, who said: I was on the expedition in which the Messenger of God ﷺ sent ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ to Dhāt al-Salāsil. He said: I accompanied Abū Bakr and ʿUmar, and I passed by a people who had a camel of theirs which they had slaughtered, but they were unable to cut it up. He said: I was a skillful and expert butcher. He said: I said: Will you give me a tenth of it if I divide it among you? They said: Yes. He said: I took the two knives and cut it up on the spot, and I took a portion from it and carried it to my companions, and we cooked it and ate it. Abū Bakr and ʿUmar ؓ said to me: Where did you get this meat, O ʿAwf? He said: I told them its story. They said: By God, you did not do well when you fed us this. Then they got up and vomited what was in their stomachs of it. He said: When the people returned from that journey, I was the first to arrive to the Messenger of God ﷺ. He said: I came to him while he was praying in his house. He said: I said: Peace be upon you, O Messenger of God, and the mercy of God and His blessings. He said: Is it ʿAwf b. Mālik? He said: I said: Yes, may my father and mother be your ransom. He said: The companion of the camel? And the Messenger of God ﷺ did not add anything further to me.
