Sirat Ibn Hisham 945
The slaying of Ḥamzah
[ وَحْشِيٌّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ الرَّسُولِ يُسْلِمُ ] فَلَمَّا قَالَ لِي ذَلِكَ، خَرَجْتُ حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَلَمْ يَرُعْهُ إلَّا بِي قَائِمًا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ أَتَشَهَّدُ بِشَهَادَةِ الْحَقِّ؛ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ: أَوَحْشِيٌّ ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ: اُقْعُدْ فَحَدِّثْنِي كَيْفَ قَتَلْتَ حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: فَحَدَّثْتُهُ كَمَا حَدَّثْتُكُمَا، فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنْ حَدِيثِي قَالَ: وَيْحَكَ غَيِّبْ عَنِّي وَجْهَكَ، فَلَا أُرَيَنَّكَ. قَالَ: فَكُنْتُ أَتَنَكَّبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَيْثُ كَانَ لِئَلَّا يَرَانِي، حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ ﷺ
Translation
✧ [Waḥshī before the Messenger submits] When he said that to me, I went out until I came to the Messenger of God ﷺ in Medina, and he was startled only by me standing at his head, testifying with the testimony of truth. When he saw me, he said, “Are you Waḥshī?” I said, “Yes, O Messenger of God.” He said, “Sit and tell me how you killed Ḥamzah.” So I told him as I told you two. When I finished my account, he said, “Woe to you! Hide your face from me, that I may not see you.” So I kept avoiding the Messenger of God ﷺ wherever he was, lest he should see me, until God took him ﷺ.
