Ḥanẓalah, the one washed by the angels
[ حَنْظَلَةُ غَسِيلُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ ] وَالْتَقَى حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الْغَسِيلُ وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ، فَلَمَّا اسْتَعْلَاهُ حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ أَبِي عَامِرٍ رَآهُ شَدَّادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ شَعُوبٍ، قَدْ عَلَا أَبَا سُفْيَانَ. فَضَرَبَهُ شَدَّادٌ فَقَتَلَهُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: إنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ، يَعْنِي حَنْظَلَةَ لَتُغَسِّلَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ. فَسَأَلُوا أَهْلَهُ مَا شَأْنُهُ ؟ فَسُئِلَتْ صَاحِبَتُهُ عَنْهُ. فَقَالَتْ: خَرَجَ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ حِينَ سَمِعَ الْهَاتِفَةَ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَيُقَالُ: الْهَائِعَةُ. وَجَاءَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ: خَيْرُ النَّاسِ رَجُلٌ مُمْسِكٌ بِعِنَانِ فَرَسِهِ، كُلَّمَا سَمِعَ هَيْعَةَ طَارَ إلَيْهَا قَالَ الطِّرِمَّاحُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ الطَّائِيُّ، وَالطِّرِمَّاحُ: الطَّوِيلُ مِنْ الرِّجَالِ -: أَنَا ابْنُ حُمَاةَ الْمَجْدِ مِنْ آلِ مَالِكٍ إذَا جَعَلَتْ خُورُ الرِّجَالِ تَهِيعُ ( وَالْهَيْعَةُ: الصَّيْحَةُ الَّتِي فِيهَا الْفَزَعُ ) قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: لِذَلِكَ غَسَّلَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ
Translation
✧ Ḥanẓalah, the one washed by the angels. Ḥanẓalah b. Abī ʿĀmir the washed one met Abū Sufyān. When Ḥanẓalah b. Abī ʿĀmir got above him, Shaddād b. al-Aswad —and he is the son of Shaʿūb— saw him standing over Abū Sufyān, so Shaddād struck him and killed him. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: Verily your companion, meaning Ḥanẓalah, the angels are washing him. So they asked his family what his affair was. His wife was asked about him, and she said: He went out when he was in a state of major ritual impurity when he heard the caller. Ibn Hishām said: It is also said: al-hāʾiʿah. And in the ḥadīth it comes: The best of people is a man holding the rein of his horse; whenever he hears a hīʿah, he flies to it. Al-Ṭirimmāḥ b. Ḥakīm al-Ṭāʾī —and al-Ṭirimmāḥ is the tall one among men— said: I am the son of the protectors of glory from the house of Mālik, when the weak among men begin to be alarmed. (And al-hayʿah is the shout in which there is fright.) Ibn Isḥāq said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: For that reason the angels washed him.
