اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : رُمِيَ أَبُو عَامِرٍ فِي رُكْبَتِهِ فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ ، قَالَ : انْزِعْ هَذَا السَّهْمَ فَنَزَعْتُهُ فَنَزَا مِنْهُ الْمَاءُ ، فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِعُبَيْدٍ أَبِي عَامِرٍ " .
Narrated Abu Musa: Abu 'Amir was hit with an arrow in his knee, so I went to him and he asked me to remove the arrow. When I removed it, the water started dribbling from it. Then I went to the Prophet and told him about it. He said, "O Allah! Forgive `Ubaid Abu 'Amir."

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The surgical instruments of the present era did not exist at that time; therefore, arrows embedded in the bodies of wounded fighters were extracted by hand.
Imam Bukhari rahimahullah’s intent is that extracting the arrow in this manner does not constitute throwing oneself into destruction, rather it is a part of treatment.
When the arrow was removed, instead of blood, water began to flow, which is a sign of death—that now there is no blood left in his body.
➋
Abu Amir radi Allahu anhu was the uncle of Abu Musa al-Ash’ari radi Allahu anhu.
➌
This incident took place during the Battle of Autas.
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, while supplicating for him, used such words as he would generally use for martyrs.
In any case, the arrow should be removed from the body of a living wounded person, even if death occurs thereafter.
And Allah knows best.

Hadith Commentary:
Ubayd Abu Amir radi Allahu anhu was the uncle of Abu Musa radi Allahu anhu.
He was struck in the knee by an arrow, which led to his death.
At the time of his passing, he said to Abu Musa radi Allahu anhu:
Convey my greetings to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and request him to supplicate for my forgiveness.
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, at that time, raised both hands and supplicated.
Abu Musa al-Ash'ari radi Allahu anhu says: I requested, "Pray to Allah for my forgiveness as well," so he supplicated:
"O Allah! Forgive the sins of Abdullah ibn Qais and grant him the best place on the Day of Resurrection."
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Maghazi, Hadith: 4323)

Hadith Commentary: In the hadith, at one place the phrase "wa 'alayhi firashun" appears. Here, the word (ma) of negation has been omitted due to the narrator's mistake. Therefore, the translation has been rendered as: "the cot on which you were sitting." There was no bedding spread upon it. In this hadith, there is mention of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) raising his hands while supplicating, which refutes the view of those who restrict the raising of hands in supplication (du'a) only to the prayer for rain (du'a al-istisqa).

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The one who shot an arrow at Abu Amir (radi Allahu anhu) was Salamah bin Duraid bin Summah, who belonged to the tribe of Jusham. When Abu Amir (radi Allahu anhu) was martyred, Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (radi Allahu anhu) took up the banner and fought against the polytheists, so Allah, the Exalted, granted them victory and success.
➋
It should be noted that water coming out from Abu Amir's (radi Allahu anhu) wound was a sign of his being wounded and near death.
➌
In this hadith, the raising of hands while supplicating (du'a) is mentioned, which refutes those who restrict the raising of hands in supplication only to the prayer for rain (istisqa). Furthermore, the desirability (mustahabb) of being in a state of ablution (wudu) for supplication is also established. However, to deduce from this the practice of raising hands in supplication during condolence gatherings is questionable, because sitting in a specific place for reciting al-Fatihah and raising hands at the time of condolence is not established from this. This is because Abu Amir (radi Allahu anhu), at the time of his martyrdom, requested the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) to supplicate for him, and this request was fulfilled. This has no connection whatsoever with the customary practices of condolence.
And Allah knows best.
➍
Duraid bin Summah was a famous poet.
He was killed by Rabi'ah bin Rafi'.
Some narrations indicate that his killer was Zubair bin al-Awwam (radi Allahu anhu). When Duraid was killed, he was one hundred and twenty years old.

Hafiz Zubair Ali Zai
Raising the hands in supplication, that is, supplicating with raised hands, is established by many authentic ahadith.
For example, see Sahih al-Bukhari (4323, 4339, 6341) and Sahih Muslim (2498), among others.
5) Wiping the hands over the face after supplication is absolutely authentic.
The trustworthy Tabi‘i, Imam Abu Nu‘aym Wahb bin Kaysan, said:
I saw (Sayyiduna) Ibn ‘Umar and Ibn Zubayr (radi Allahu anhuma); both of them would supplicate and then wipe their palms over their faces.
(al-Adab al-Mufrad: 609, and its chain is hasan; see my book: Hadiyyat al-Muslimeen, no. 22)
The criticism of this narration by some people is rejected because it is contrary to the authentication of the majority.
Imam Ma‘mar bin Rashid rahimahullah (d. 154 AH) would raise his hands up to his chest in supplication and then wipe them over his face. (Musannaf ‘Abd al-Razzaq 3/123, no. 5003, and its chain is authentic)
Imam Ishaq bin Rahwayh considered acting upon those ahadith (in which wiping the hands over the face is mentioned) to be commendable. (Mukhtasar Qiyam al-Layl by al-Marwazi, p. 304)
For the original article, see Tahqiqi wa ‘Ilmi Maqalat by Shaykh Hafiz Zubair Ali Zai rahimahullah (vol. 4, p. 568).
For example, see Sahih al-Bukhari (4323, 4339, 6341) and Sahih Muslim (2498), among others.

Hadith Commentary: Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
Fa‘tamadtuhu:
I fixed my gaze upon it.
(2)
Nazzama-hu al-ma’:
When the arrow was extracted,
blood flowed and water (serum) came out.
Marmal:
A bed made from palm fiber.
Qadi ‘Iyad and others are of the opinion
that there was no bedding on the cot.
The word "ma" has dropped from the hadith,
because if there had been bedding, there would not have been any marks.
Benefits and Issues:
In the Battle of Hunayn, the Banu Hawazin were defeated and fled in various directions.
Some took the road to Ta’if,
some headed towards Bajilah, and some turned towards Awtas.
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sent an army after those who went towards Awtas,
and appointed Abu ‘Amir ‘Ubaid bin Sulaym al-Ash‘ari as their commander.
When he was dying, he requested, through his nephew Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari,
that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) pray for his forgiveness.
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) performed ablution (wudu),
raised his hands, and supplicated.
From this, it is understood
that among the etiquettes of supplication (du‘a) is that a person should be in a state of ablution (wudu) and raise his hands while making du‘a.
And here, the supplication was not made at the house of the deceased (the place of mourning),
but rather in another house at the request of the family.
Therefore, to deduce from this that someone present at a mourning gathering can request those sitting there to make du‘a,
is incorrect.
