Sunan an-Nasa'i 1953

Suwayd ibn Nasr narrated to us, saying: ‘Abd Allah informed us, from Ibn Jurayj, who said: ‘Ikrimah ibn Khalid informed me that Ibn Abi ‘Ammar had informed him, from Shaddad ibn al-Had, that a man from among the Bedouins came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), believed in him, and followed him. Then he said: “I will emigrate with you.” The Prophet entrusted him to the care of one of his Companions. During a battle, the Prophet acquired captives and distributed them, assigning the man a share. His Companions gave him what had been allotted to him. He had been tending their mounts, and when he returned they handed it to him. He asked: “What is this?” They replied: “A share the Prophet allotted to you.” He took it and brought it to the Prophet, asking: “What is this?” He said: “I allotted it to you.” The man said: “I did not follow you for this. I followed you so that I might be struck here”—and he pointed to his throat—“with an arrow, then die and enter Paradise.” The Prophet said: “If you are truthful toward Allah, He will fulfill it for you.” They remained for a short while, then set out to fight the enemy. The man was brought to the Prophet, carried, with an arrow having struck him where he had pointed. The Prophet asked: “Is it him?” They said: “Yes.” He said: “He was truthful toward Allah, so Allah fulfilled it for him.” Then the Prophet shrouded him in the Prophet’s own jubba and placed him before the people for the funeral prayer. Among the audible words of his prayer were: “O Allah, this is Your servant who went forth as an emigrant in Your path and was killed as a martyr. I bear witness to that.”’
