The slaying of Muṣʿab b. ʿUmayr
[ مَقْتَلُ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَاتَلَ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ دُونَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى قُتِلَ، وَكَانَ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ ابْنُ قَمِئَةَ اللَّيْثِيُّ، وَهُوَ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَرَجَعَ إلَى قُرَيْشٍ فَقَالَ: قَتَلْتُ مُحَمَّدًا. فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ أَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اللِّوَاءَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَقَاتَلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَرِجَالٌ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَحَدَّثَنِي مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ الْمَازِنِيَّ، قَالَ: لَمَّا اشْتَدَّ الْقِتَالُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَحْتَ رَايَةِ الْأَنْصَارِ، وَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ: أَنْ قَدَّمَ الرَّايَةَ فَتَقَدَّمَ عَلِيٌّ، فَقَالَ: أَنَا أَبُو الْفُصَمِ، وَيُقَالُ: أَبُو الْقُصَمِ، فِيمَا قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ - فَنَادَاهُ أَبُو سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، وَهُوَ صَاحِبُ لِوَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ: أَنْ هَلْ لَكَ يَا أَبَا الْقُصَمِ فِي الْبِرَازِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. فَبَرَزَا بَيْنَ الصَّفَّيْنِ، فَاخْتَلَفَا ضَرْبَتَيْنِ فَضَرَبَهُ عَلِيٌّ فَصَرَعَهُ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ عَنْهُ وَلَمْ يُجْهَزْ عَلَيْهِ؛ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ: أَفَلَا أُجْهِزْتُ عَلَيْهِ ؟ فَقَالَ: إنَّهُ اسْتَقْبَلَنِي بِعَوْرَتِهِ، فَعَطَفَتْنِي عَنْهُ الرَّحِمُ، وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ قَتَلَهُ. وَيُقَالُ: إنَّ أَبَا سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ خَرَجَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَّيْنِ، فَنَادَى: [ أَنَا قَاصِمٌ ] مَنْ يُبَارِزُ بِرَازًا، فَلَمْ يَخْرَجْ إلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ. فَقَالَ: يَا أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ، زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّ قَتْلَاكُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَأَنَّ قَتْلَانَا فِي النَّارِ، كَذَبْتُمْ وَاَللَّاتِي لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ ذَلِكَ حَقًّا لَخَرَجَ إلَيَّ بَعْضُكُمْ، فَخَرَجَ إلَيْهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، فَاخْتَلَفَا ضَرْبَتَيْنِ، فَضَرَبَهُ عَلِيٌّ فَقَتَلَهُ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: قَتَلَ أَبَا سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ
Translation
✧ The killing of Muṣʿab b. ʿUmayr Ibn Isḥāq said: Muṣʿab b. ʿUmayr fought in defense of the Messenger of God ﷺ until he was killed. The one who killed him was Ibn Qamiʾah al-Laythī, who thought he was the Messenger of God ﷺ, so he returned to Quraysh and said, “I have killed Muḥammad.” When Muṣʿab b. ʿUmayr was killed, the Messenger of God ﷺ gave the banner to ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, and ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib and men from the Muslims fought. Ibn Hishām said: Maslamah b. ʿAlqamah al-Māzinī narrated to me saying: When the fighting grew fierce on the day of Uḥud, the Messenger of God ﷺ sat beneath the banner of the Anṣār, and the Messenger of God ﷺ sent to ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib (may God be pleased with him): “Advance with the banner.” So ʿAlī advanced and said: “I am Abū al-Fuṣam”—or it is said Abū al-Quṣam, according to what Ibn Hishām said—then Abū Saʿd b. Abī Ṭalḥah, the bearer of the polytheists’ banner, called out to him: “Would you, O Abā al-Quṣam, have any need for single combat?” He said: “Yes.” They came forth between the two lines and exchanged two blows; ʿAlī struck him and threw him down, then turned away from him and did not finish him off. His companions said to him: “Why did you not finish him off?” He said: “He faced me with his private parts, and kinship moved me away from him, and I knew that God, mighty and majestic, had killed him.” It is said that Abū Saʿd b. Abī Ṭalḥah came out between the two lines and called: “I am a breaker! Who will come out for single combat?” No one came out to him. Then he said: “O companions of Muḥammad, you claim that your slain are in Paradise and our slain are in the Fire. By al-Lāt, you have lied! If you truly knew that, some of you would have come out against me.” So ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib went out to him; they exchanged two blows, and ʿAlī struck him and killed him. Ibn Isḥāq said: Saʿd b. Abī Waqqāṣ killed Abū Saʿd b. Abī Ṭalḥah.
