"It is narrated from 'Abd al-Wahid ibn Abi 'Awn al-Dawsi that he said: al-Tufayl ibn 'Amr returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and stayed with him in Madinah until he died. When the Arabs apostatized, he went out with the Muslims and fought until they finished with Tulayhah and all the land of Najd. Then he marched with the Muslims to al-Yamamah, and with him was his son 'Amr ibn al-Tufayl. al-Tufayl was killed as a martyr at al-Yamamah, and his son 'Amr ibn al-Tufayl was wounded and his hand was cut off. Then he recovered and his hand healed. While he was with 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, food was brought, and he withdrew from it. 'Umar said: 'What is the matter with you? Perhaps you withdrew because of your hand?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'No, by Allah, I will not taste it until you put your hand in it.' So he did that. By Allah, of the people there is no one whose half is in Paradise except you. Then he went out on the day of Yarmuk in the caliphate of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab with the Muslims, and he was killed as a martyr."
