Amr ibn Uqaysh had money out at usury in the pre-Islamic period, and he disliked to accept Islam until he collected it. He came on the day of Uhud and asked, 'Where are my paternal cousins?' They replied, 'At Uhud.' He asked, 'Where is such-and-such person?' They replied, 'At Uhud.' He asked, 'Where is such-and-such person?' They replied, 'At Uhud.' Then he put on his armor, mounted his horse, and headed toward them. When the Muslims saw him, they said, 'Keep away from us, Amr!' He said, 'Verily, I have believed.' So he fought until he was wounded, and he was carried to his family as a wounded man. Sa'd ibn Mu'adh came and said to his sister, 'Ask him: did he fight out of partisan zeal for his people, out of anger for them, or out of anger for Allah?' He replied, 'Rather, out of anger for Allah and His Messenger.' Then he died and entered Paradise, without having ever prayed a prayer for Allah.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ أُقَيْشٍ، كَانَ لَهُ رِبًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَكَرِهَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ حَتَّى يَأْخُذَهُ فَجَاءَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ . فَقَالَ : أَيْنَ بَنُو عَمِّي قَالُوا : بِأُحُدٍ . قَالَ : أَيْنَ فُلاَنٌ قَالُوا : بِأُحُدٍ . قَالَ : أَيْنَ فُلاَنٌ قَالُوا : بِأُحُدٍ . فَلَبِسَ لأْمَتَهُ وَرَكِبَ فَرَسَهُ ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ قِبَلَهُمْ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ قَالُوا : إِلَيْكَ عَنَّا يَا عَمْرُو . قَالَ : إِنِّي قَدْ آمَنْتُ . فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى جُرِحَ، فَحُمِلَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ جَرِيحًا، فَجَاءَهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ لأُخْتِهِ : سَلِيهِ حَمِيَّةً لِقَوْمِكَ أَوْ غَضَبًا لَهُمْ أَمْ غَضَبًا لِلَّهِ فَقَالَ : بَلْ غَضَبًا لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ فَمَاتَ . فَدَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَا صَلَّى لِلَّهِ صَلاَةً
