عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ الْقَيْسِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَرْزَبٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ لَمَّا هَزَمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَوَازِنَ بِحُنَيْنٍ عَقَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَبِي عَامِرٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَلَى خَيْلِ الطَّلَبِ فَطَلَبَ فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ طَلَبَهُمْ فَأَسْرَعَ بِهِ فَرَسُهُ فَأَدْرَكَ ابْنَ دُرَيْدِ بْنِ الصِّمَّةِ فَقَتَلَ أَبَا عَامِرٍ وَأَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ وَشَدَدْتُ عَلَى ابْنِ دُرَيْدٍ فَقَتَلْتُهُ وَأَخَذْتُ اللِّوَاءَ وَانْصَرَفْتُ بِالنَّاسِ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحْمِلُ اللِّوَاءَ قَالَ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى قُتِلَ أَبُو عَامِرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ يَدْعُو يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ عُبَيْدَكَ عُبَيْدًا أَبَا عَامِرٍ اجْعَلْهُ مِنَ الْأَكْثَرِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when Allah Almighty caused the Banu Hawazin to be defeated at Hunayn, the Messenger of Allah appointed Sayyiduna Abu Amir Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) over a cavalry detachment to pursue the fleeing polytheists. He set out after them, and I was with him. Sayyiduna Abu Amir's horse swiftly carried him ahead, and he caught up with Ibn Duraid bin. Ibn Duraid killed Abu Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) and seized his flag. I pursued Ibn Duraid, killed him, and took the flag back into my possession, and I returned with the people. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw me carrying the flag and said: "O Abu Musa! Has Abu Amir been killed?" I replied: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!" I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raising both his hands and supplicating: "O Allah, make Your beloved servant Ubaid Abu Amir among those on the Day of Resurrection who have many righteous deeds and countless exalted ranks."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This narration is recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim with the following context:
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa radi Allahu anhu, who says: When the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam finished (the campaign of) Hunayn, he sent Abu Amir as the commander of an army towards the people of Autas. He encountered Duraid ibn as-Simmah, Duraid was killed, and Allah defeated his companions. Abu Musa said: The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also sent me with Abu Amir. Abu Amir was struck in his knee by an arrow shot by a man from the tribe of Jusham, and the arrow became lodged in his knee. I reached him and asked, “Uncle! Who shot you?” He indicated to Abu Musa radi Allahu anhu and said, “That is my killer, the one who shot me.” So I set out in pursuit of him. When he saw me, he fled. I chased after him and kept saying to him, “Are you not ashamed? Will you not stand your ground?” He stopped, and we exchanged two blows with our swords, and I killed him. Then I said to Abu Amir, “Allah has destroyed your killer.” He said, “Remove this arrow.” So I removed it, and water (fluid) gushed out from the wound. He said, “O son of my brother! Convey my salam to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and say to him: Pray for my forgiveness.” Abu Amir appointed me as the commander over the people in his place. He lived for a short while and then died (as a martyr). I returned and went to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, who was lying in his house on a bed made of palm fibers, and there was such a thin mattress on it that the marks of the bed’s fibers were visible on his back and sides. I informed him of our situation and of Abu Amir’s condition, and (I said that) he had asked me to request you to pray for his forgiveness. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam called for water, performed ablution (wudu), then raised his hands and said: “O Allah! Forgive Ubayd Abu Amir.” (His hands were raised so high that) I could see the whiteness of his armpits. Then he said: “O Allah! Grant him superiority over many of Your creation on the Day of Resurrection.” I said, “Pray for my forgiveness as well.” He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “O Allah! Forgive Abdullah ibn Qais his sins and admit him on the Day of Resurrection to an honorable place.” Abu Burdah says that one of these supplications was for Sayyiduna Abu Amir radi Allahu anhu and the other was for Sayyiduna Abu Musa radi Allahu anhu.
