وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ - يَعْنِي الْوَاشِحِيَّ - حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ ؓ، قَالَتْ:

أُصِيبَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ ؓ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فِي ثَنْدُوَتِهِ بِسَهْمٍ، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: انْزِعِ السَّهْمَ، فَقَالَ: إِنْ شِئْتَ نَزَعْتُ السَّهْمَ وَالْقُطْنَةَ، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ نَزَعْتُ السَّهْمَ وَتَرَكْتُ الْقُطْنَةَ، وَشَهِدْتُ لَكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنَّكَ شَهِيدٌ ؟. فَقُلْتُ: انْزِعِ السَّهْمَ وَاتْرُكِ الْقُطْنَةَ، وَاشْهَدْ لِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنِّي شَهِيدٌ، فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَنَزَعَ السَّهْمَ وَتَرَكَ الْقُطْنَةَ، فَعَاشَ حَيَاةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ ؓ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ زَمَنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ ؓ أَوْ بَعْدَهُ مَاتَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ، فَأَرَادُوا أَنْ يُخْرِجُوهُ، قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ: إِنَّ مِثْلَ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ لَا يُخْرَجُ بِهِ حَتَّى يُؤْذَنَ مَنْ حَوْلَنَا مِنَ الْقُرَى، فَجَلَسَ مِنَ الْغَدِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ أُخْرِجَ، فَبَكَتْ مَوْلَاةٌ لَهُ عَلَى شَفِيرِ الْقَبْرِ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ: إِنَّ الشَّيْخَ لَا طَاقَةَ لَهُ بِعَذَابِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّفِيهَةِ، أَوْ كَلِمَةً نَحْوَهَا.

✧ Rafi' b. Khadij ؓ was struck on the day of Uhud in his chest with an arrow. He came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'Remove the arrow.' He said: 'If you wish, I will remove the arrow and the cotton, and if you wish, I will remove the arrow and leave the cotton, and I will testify for you on the Day of Resurrection that you are a martyr.' I said: 'Remove the arrow and leave the cotton, and testify for me on the Day of Resurrection that I am a martyr.' He said: 'Yes.' So he removed the arrow and left the cotton, and he lived through the life of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr and 'Umar and 'Uthman ؓ. When it was the time of Mu'awiyah ؓ or after him, he died after 'Asr. They wanted to take him out [for burial], but Ibn 'Umar ؓ said: 'A man like Rafi' b. Khadij should not be taken out until the people of the surrounding villages are informed.' So he sat [unburied] until the next day. When the next day came, he was taken out. A female client of his wept at the edge of the grave, so Ibn 'Umar ؓ said: 'The old man cannot bear the punishment of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, from this foolish woman,' or words to that effect.
