أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ سَوَادٍ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ ابْنَا كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ الْأَكْوَعِ قَالَ

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ خَيْبَرَ قَاتَلَ أَخِي قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَارْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ سَيْفُهُ فَقَتَلَهُ فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ وَشَكَوْا فِيهِ رَجُلٌ مَاتَ بِسِلَاحِهِ قَالَ سَلَمَةُ فَقَفَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أَرْجُزَ لَكَ؟ فَأَذِنَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ اعْلَمْ مَا تَقُولُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ [البحر الرجز] وَاللهِ لَوْلَا اللهُ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا وَلَا تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلَا صَلَّيْنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «صَدَقْتَ» [البحر الرجز] فَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا وَثَبِّتِ الْأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لَاقَيْنَا وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ رَجَزِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ قَالَ هَذَا؟» قُلْتُ أَخِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْحَمُهُ اللهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاللهِ إِنَّ نَاسًا لَيَهَابُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِ يَقُولُونَ رَجُلٌ مَاتَ بِسِلَاحِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَاتَ جَاهِدًا مُجَاهِدًا» قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ ابْنًا لِسَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ حِينَ قُلْتُ إِنَّ نَاسًا يَهَابُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كَذَبُوا مَاتَ جَاهِدًا مُجَاهِدًا فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ» وَأَشَارَ بِإِصْبُعَيْهِ

✧ On the day of Khaybar, my brother fought fiercely along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and his sword turned against him and killed him. The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke about that and doubted him, saying, "A man who died by his own weapon." Salamah said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from Khaybar, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, do you permit me to recite some verses to you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ permitted me. Umar b. al-Khattab said, "Know what you are saying." I said: [Rajaz meter] "By Allah, were it not for Allah, we would not have been guided, nor would we have given charity, nor prayed." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have spoken the truth." [Rajaz meter] "So send down tranquility upon us, and make our feet firm when we meet, and the polytheists have transgressed against us." When I finished my verses, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who said this?" I said, "My brother." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May Allah have mercy on him." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, some people are hesitant to pray over him, saying, 'A man who died by his own weapon.'" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He died as a striver and a mujahid." Ibn Shihab said: Then I asked a son of Salamah b. al-Akwa', and he narrated to me from his father something similar, except that he said, when I said, "Some people are hesitant to pray over him," the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "They lied. He died as a striver and a mujahid, so he has his reward twice," and he gestured with two fingers.
