أَخْبَرَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ، يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ آلِ عَمْرِو بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَعْمَامِهِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيِّ ؓ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ:

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَبَعَثَ مَعِي رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بَعْدَمَا قُتِلَ خُبَيْبٌ وَأَصْحَابُهُ ؓ، فَقَالَ: اقْتُلَا أَبَا سُفْيَانَ بِفِنَائِهِ، فَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبِي حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا بَطْنَ يَأْجِجَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الشِّعْبِ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ صَاحِبِي رَجُلًا سُهَيْلًا، لَيْسَتْ لَهُ رِحْلَةٌ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنْ خِفْتَ شَيْئًا فَانْطَلِقْ إِلَى بَعِيرِكَ فَارْكَبْهُ حَتَّى تَلْحَقَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لِي صَاحِبِي: هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ، فَقُلْتُ: أَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ، إِنَّهُمْ إِذَا أَظْلَمُوا رَشُّوا أَفْنِيَتَهُمْ فَجَلَسُوا فِيهَا، وَأَنَا أَعْرَفُ فِيهِمْ مِنَ الْفَرَسِ الْأَبْلَقِ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ عَنِّي حَتَّى طُفْنَا سَبْعًا، ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا حَتَّى مَرَرْنَا بِمَجَالِسِهِمْ، فَقَالُوا: هَذَا عَمْرٌو، وَاللهِ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ، وَكَانَ عَمْرٌو ؓ رَجُلًا فَاتِكًا يُسَمَّى الْخَلِيعَ، قَالَ: فَشَدَدْنَا حَتَّى صَعِدْنَا الْجَبَلَ، فَدَخَلْتُ غَارًا، فَإِذَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، أَوْ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَالِكٍ التَّيْمِيُّ يَخْتَلِي لِفَرَسٍ، فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنَ الْغَارِ، قُلْتُ لِصَاحِبِي: وَاللهِ لَئِنْ رَآنَا هَذَا لَيَدُلَّنَّ عَلَيْنَا، قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَوَجَأْتُهُ بِالْخِنْجَرِ تَحْتَ ثَدْيِهِ، فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ الْقَاضِيَةَ، فَصَرَخَ صَرْخَةً أَسْمَعَهَا أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ، قَالَ: فَجَاءُوا، وَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى مَكَانِي فَدَخَلْتُ فِيهِ، فَجَاءَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ فَوَجَدُوا بِهِ رَمَقًا، فَقَالُوا: مَنْ طَعَنَكَ ؟ فَقَالَ: عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ، ثُمَّ مَاتَ فَمَا أَدْرَكُوا مِنْهُ مَا اسْتَطَاعُوا أَنْ يُخْبِرَهُمْ بِمَكَانِنَا، قَالَ: ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا، فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِخُبَيْبٍ عَلَى خَشَبَتِهِ، فَقَالَ لِي صَاحِبِي: هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تُنْزِلَ خُبَيْبًا عَنْ خَشَبَتِهِ فَتَدْفِنَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَتَنَحَّ عَنِّي، فَإِنْ أَبْطَأْتُ عَلَيْكَ فَخُذِ الطَّرِيقَ، فَعَمَدْتُ لِخُبَيْبٍ فَأَنْزَلْتُهُ عَنْ خَشَبَتِهِ، فَحَمَلْتُهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِي فَمَا مَشَيْتُ بِهِ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعًا حَتَّى بَدَرَنِي الْحَرَسُ، وَكَانُوا قَدْ وَضَعُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحَرَسَ، قَالَ: فَطَرَحْتُهُ فَمَا أَنْسَى وَجْبَتَهُ بِالْأَرْضِ حِينَ طَرَحْتُهُ، ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ عَلَى الصَّفْرَاوَاتِ حَتَّى انْصَبَبْتُ عَلَى الْعَلِيلِ عَلِيلِ ضَجْنَانَ، وَهُمْ يَتْبَعُونَنِي، فَدَخَلْتُ غَارًا، فَذَكَرَ قِصَّةَ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ، ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ مِنَ الْغَارِ عَلَى بِلَادٍ أَنَا بِهَا عَالِمٌ، ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ عَلَى رُكُوبَةٍ، فَرَأَيْتُ رَجُلَيْنِ بَعَثَتْهُمَا قُرَيْشٌ يَتَجَسَّسَانِ الْأَخْبَارَ، فَقُلْتُ لِأَحَدِهِمَا: اسْتَأْسِرْ فَأَبَى فَرَمَيْتُهُ فَقَتَلْتُهُ، وَاسْتَأْسَرَ الْآخَرُ، فَقَدِمْتُ بِهِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me, and he sent with me a man from the Ansar after Khubayb and his companions ؓ were killed. He said: 'Kill Abu Sufyan in his courtyard.' I went out with my companion until we reached the bottom of Ya'jaj from the direction of the mountain pass. He said: 'My companion was a simple man, with no travel experience. I said to him: 'If you fear anything, go to your camel and ride it until you catch up with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' He said: 'My companion said to me: 'Would you like to circumambulate the House?' I said: 'I know the people of Makkah better: when it gets dark, they sprinkle their courtyards and sit in them, and I am more recognizable among them than a piebald horse.' He kept at me until we circumambulated seven times. Then we went out and passed by their gatherings. They said: 'This is 'Amr; by Allah, he has not come with good.' And 'Amr ؓ was a daring man called al-Khali' (the outcast). He said: 'We hastened until we climbed the mountain, and I entered a cave. There was 'Uthman b. Malik, or 'Ubayd Allah b. Malik al-Taymi, cutting grass for a horse. When he approached the cave, I said to my companion: 'By Allah, if this man sees us, he will surely point us out.' He said: 'I went out to him and stabbed him with the dagger under his breast, and I gave him the fatal blow. He screamed a scream that the people of Makkah heard.' He said: 'They came, and I returned to my place and entered it. The people of Makkah came and found him with a spark of life. They said: 'Who stabbed you?' He said: ''Amr b. Umayyah.' Then he died before they could get from him any information about our location.' He said: 'Then we went out, and there was Khubayb on his wooden cross. My companion said to me: 'Would you like to take Khubayb down from his cross and bury him?' I said: 'Yes. Move away from me, and if I am delayed, take the road.' I went to Khubayb and took him down from his cross, and carried him on my back. I had not walked with him twenty cubits before the guards surprised me; they had placed guards over him. He said: 'I dropped him, and I will never forget the thud of his body on the ground when I dropped him. Then I took to the yellow mountains until I descended to al-'Alil, the 'Alil of Dajnan, while they were pursuing me. I entered a cave,' and he mentioned the story of the one he killed. 'Then I came out of the cave to lands I knew well. Then I took to a riding camel, and I saw two men whom Quraysh had sent to spy out the news. I said to one of them: 'Surrender as a prisoner.' He refused, so I shot him and killed him, and the other surrendered. I brought him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
