Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 10221

وَعَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِيَ الَّذِي أَرْضَعَنِي - وَكَانَ أَحَدَ بَنِي مُرَّةَ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، وَكَانَ فِي تِلْكَ الْغَزَاةِ غَزْوَةِ مُؤْتَةَ - قَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ حِينَ اقْتَحَمَ عَنْ فَرَسٍ لَهُ شَقْرَاءَ ، ثُمَّ عَقَرَهَا ، ثُمَّ قَاتَلَ الْقَوْمَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ .
فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ جَعْفَرٌ أَخَذَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ الرَّايَةَ ، ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ بِهَا وَهُوَ عَلَى فَرَسِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَسْتَنْزِلُ نَفْسَهُ ، وَتَرَدَّدَ بَعْضَ التَّرَدُّدِ ثُمَّ قَالَ :
أَقْسَمْتُ يَا نَفْسِي لَتَنْزِلِنَّهْ طَائِعَةً أَوْ لَتُكْرَهِنَّهْ مَا لِي أَرَاكِ تَكْرَهِينَ الْجَنَّهْ
إِنْ أَجْلَبَ النَّاسُ وَشَدُّوا الرَّنَّهْ لَطَالَمَا قَدْ كُنْتِ مُطْمَئِنَّهْ
هَلْ أَنْتِ إِلَّا نُطْفَةٌ فِي شَنَّهْ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ :
يَا نَفْسُ إِنْ لَا تُقْتَلِي فَمُوتِي هَذَا حِمَامُ الْمَوْتِ قَدْ صَلِيتِ
وَمَا تَمَنَّيْتِ فَقَدْ لَقِيتِ إِنْ تَفْعَلِي فِعْلَهُمَا هُدِيتِ
ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ أَتَاهُ ابْنُ عَمٍّ لَهُ بِعَظْمٍ مِنْ لَحْمٍ ، فَقَالَ : اشْدُدْ بِهَذَا صُلْبَكَ ; فَإِنَّكَ قَدْ لَقِيتَ فِي أَيَّامِكَ هَذِهِ مَا قَدْ لَقِيتَ ، فَأَخَذَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَانْتَهَشَ مِنْهُ نَهْشَةً ثُمَّ سَمِعَ الْحُطَمَةَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ النَّاسِ ، فَقَالَ : وَأَنْتَ فِي الدُّنْيَا ؟ ثُمَّ أَلْقَاهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ سَيْفَهُ فَتَقَدَّمَ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ .
فَأَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ أَقْرَمَ أَحَدُ بَلْعَجْلَانَ ، وَقَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اصْطَلِحُوا عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ ، قَالُوا : أَنْتَ ، قَالَ : مَا أَنَا بِفَاعِلٍ .
فَاصْطَلَحَ النَّاسُ عَلَى خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ ، فَلَمَّا أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ دَافَعَ الْقَوْمَ ثُمَّ انْحَازَ حَتَّى انْصَرَفَ فَلَمَّا أُصِيبُوا ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ فَقَاتَلَ بِهَا حَتَّى قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا جَعْفَرٌ فَقَاتَلَ بِهَا حَتَّى قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا " .
ثُمَّ صَمَتَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَتَّى تَغَيَّرَتْ وُجُوهُ الْأَنْصَارِ ، وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ بَعْضُ مَا يَكْرَهُونَهُ قَالَ : " ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَقَاتَلَ بِهَا حَتَّى قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا " .
ثُمَّ قَالَ : " لَقَدْ رُفِعُوا إِلَيَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ - فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ - عَلَى سُرُرٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، فَرَأَيْتُ فِي سَرِيرِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ ازْوِرَارًا عَنْ سَرِيرَيْ صَاحِبَيْهِ ، فَقُلْتُ : بِمَ هَذَا ؟ فَقِيلَ لِي : مَضَيَا ، وَتَرَدَّدَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ بَعْضَ التَّرَدُّدِ وَمَضَى " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Abbad bin Abdullah bin al-Zubayr narrates: My father, who is my foster-father, who belonged to Banu Murrah bin Awf and who took part in the Battle of Mu'tah, told me: It is as if I can still see Sayyiduna Ja'far bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) when he got down from his deep reddish horse, then hamstrung it, and then was martyred fighting the enemy. When Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) took the banner. Then he advanced with it while mounted on his horse; he faced some hesitation in bringing himself down. Then he recited these verses: "I swear, O my soul, that you must face this situation, whether you do it gladly or under compulsion. I do not think of you that you would dislike Paradise, even if the people gather and start to wail. For how long you have lived at ease! And you are nothing but a drop in a waterskin." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O soul! Even if you are not killed (that is, martyred in battle), you will die (a natural death). Here is the dove of death come; what you wished for, you have now met. If you do what those two did, (then know that) you have been guided." Then he got down. When he got down, a cousin of his brought him a bone with meat on it and said: "Strengthen your back with this, for what you have faced in these days is before you." He took it in his hand and began tearing at it and eating. Then he saw commotion among the people on one side and said: "And you are occupied with the world?" Then he put that meat aside, took hold of his sword, advanced, and was martyred fighting. Then Thabit bin Aqram, who belonged to Banu al-Ajlan, took the banner and said: "O people, agree upon one man from among yourselves." The people said: "We agree on you." He said: "I will not do it." Then the people agreed upon Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him). When he took the banner, he pushed the enemy back, then drew aside until he withdrew. When these men were martyred, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Zayd bin Harithah took the banner and kept fighting with it until he was martyred. Then Ja'far took it and kept fighting until he was martyred." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fell silent, until the faces of the Ansar changed and they supposed that perhaps news would also come about Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) that they would not like. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then Abdullah bin Rawahah took it, and he kept fighting with it until he was martyred." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In Paradise these three were presented before me. I saw in a dream that they were seated on couches of gold. I saw in Abdullah bin Rawahah's couch some tilting away compared with the couches of his two companions, so I asked: 'What is the reason for this?' I was told: 'Those two advanced (to martyrdom), but Abdullah bin Rawahah first fell into hesitation and then advanced.'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
