حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ، قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى خَيْبَرَ فَسِرْنَا لَيْلاً، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ لِعَامِرِ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ أَلاَ تُسْمِعُنَا مِنْ هُنَيْهَاتِكَ، قَالَ وَكَانَ عَامِرٌ رَجُلاً شَاعِرًا، فَنَزَلَ يَحْدُو بِالْقَوْمِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ لَوْلاَ أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا وَلاَ تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلاَ صَلَّيْنَا فَاغْفِرْ فِدَاءٌ لَكَ مَا اقْتَفَيْنَا وَثَبِّتِ الأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لاَقَيْنَا وَأَلْقِيَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا إِنَّا إِذَا صِيحَ بِنَا أَتَيْنَا وَبِالصِّيَاحِ عَوَّلُوا عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ هَذَا السَّائِقُ ". قَالُوا عَامِرُ بْنُ الأَكْوَعِ. فَقَالَ " يَرْحَمُهُ اللَّهُ ". فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ وَجَبَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، لَوْ أَمْتَعْتَنَا بِهِ. قَالَ فَأَتَيْنَا خَيْبَرَ فَحَاصَرْنَاهُمْ حَتَّى أَصَابَتْنَا مَخْمَصَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ فَتَحَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ، فَلَمَّا أَمْسَى النَّاسُ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي فُتِحَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْقَدُوا نِيرَانًا كَثِيرَةً. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَا هَذِهِ النِّيرَانُ، عَلَى أَىِّ شَىْءٍ تُوقِدُونَ ". قَالُوا عَلَى لَحْمٍ. قَالَ " عَلَى أَىِّ لَحْمٍ ". قَالُوا عَلَى لَحْمِ حُمُرٍ إِنْسِيَّةٍ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَهْرِقُوهَا وَاكْسِرُوهَا ". فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوْ نُهَرِيقُهَا وَنَغْسِلُهَا قَالَ " أَوْ ذَاكَ ". فَلَمَّا تَصَافَّ الْقَوْمُ كَانَ سَيْفُ عَامِرٍ فِيهِ قِصَرٌ، فَتَنَاوَلَ بِهِ يَهُودِيًّا لِيَضْرِبَهُ، وَيَرْجِعُ ذُبَابُ سَيْفِهِ فَأَصَابَ رُكْبَةَ عَامِرٍ فَمَاتَ مِنْهُ، فَلَمَّا قَفَلُوا قَالَ سَلَمَةُ رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم شَاحِبًا. فَقَالَ لِي " مَا لَكَ ". فَقُلْتُ فِدًى لَكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي زَعَمُوا أَنَّ عَامِرًا حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ. قَالَ " مَنْ قَالَهُ ". قُلْتُ قَالَهُ فُلاَنٌ وَفُلاَنٌ وَفُلاَنٌ وَأُسَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُضَيْرِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " كَذَبَ مَنْ قَالَهُ، إِنَّ لَهُ لأَجْرَيْنِ ـ وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ ـ إِنَّهُ لَجَاهِدٌ مُجَاهِدٌ، قَلَّ عَرَبِيٌّ نَشَأَ بِهَا مِثْلَهُ ".
Salama ibn al-Akwa reported: “We set out with the Messenger of Allah for Khaybar and traveled by night. A man asked Amir ibn al-Akwa to recite some of his verses for us. Amir was a poet, so he got down and began urging the group onward with verses asking Allah to remember that without His guidance they would not have been guided, given charity, or prayed; to forgive them for what they had pursued; to keep their feet firm when they met the enemy; and to send tranquility upon them. He said that when they were called, they came, and that their opponents relied upon their battle cry. The Messenger of Allah asked who was leading the group. They said it was Amir ibn al-Akwa. He said, “May Allah have mercy on him.” A man said, “It is settled, Prophet of Allah; if only you had let us benefit from him longer.” We reached Khaybar and besieged its people until severe hunger afflicted us. Then Allah granted us victory over them. When evening came on the day of victory, many fires were lit. The Messenger of Allah asked what the fires were for. They said they were cooking meat. He asked what kind of meat, and they said domestic donkeys. The Messenger of Allah said, “Pour it away and break the pots.” A man asked whether they could instead pour it away and wash the pots. He said, “Or do that.” When the two sides lined up for battle, Amir had a short sword. He swung it at a Jewish fighter, but the tip of his own sword turned back and struck him on the knee, and he died from it. When we returned, the Messenger of Allah saw me looking pale and asked what was wrong. I said that people claimed the deeds of Amir had been rendered void. He asked who said that. I named several people, including Usayd ibn Hudayr al-Ansari. The Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever said that is lying. He will have two rewards,” and he joined two fingers together. “He was a diligent fighter. Few Arabs born among his people were like him.”
