عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ; أَنَّ عَامِرَ بْنَ الطُّفَيْلِ قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - الْمَدِينَةَ ، فَرَاجَعَ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَارْتَفَعَ صَوْتُهُ ، وَثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ قَائِمٌ بِسَيْفِهِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : يَا عَامِرُ ، غُضَّ مِنْ صَوْتِكَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : وَمَا أَنْتَ وَذَاكَ ؟ فَقَالَ ثَابِتٌ : أَمَا وَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَهُ لَوْلَا أَنْ يَكْرَهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لَضَرَبْتُ بِهَذَا السَّيْفِ رَأْسَكَ ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ عَامِرٌ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ ، وَثَابِتٌ قَائِمٌ ، فَقَالَ : أَمَا وَاللَّهِ يَا ثَابِتُ ، لَئِنْ عَرَضْتَ نَفْسَكَ لِي لَتُوَلِّيَنَّ عَنِّي ، فَقَالَ ثَابِتٌ : أَمَا وَاللَّهِ ، يَا عَامِرُ لَئِنْ عَرَضْتَ نَفْسَكَ لِلِسَانِي لَتَكْرَهَنَّ حَيَاتِي ، فَعَطَسَ ابْنُ أَخٍ لِعَامِرِ بْنِ الطُّفَيْلِ ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ، فَشَمَّتَهُ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ثُمَّ عَطَسَ عَامِرُ بْنُ الطُّفَيْلِ فَلَمْ يَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ ، فَلَمْ يُشَمِّتْهُ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ عَامِرٌ : شَمَّتَ هَذَا الصَّبِيَّ وَتَرَكَنِي ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ هَذَا حَمِدَ اللَّهَ " ، قَالَ : وَمَحْلُوفِهِ لَأَمْلَأَنَّهَا عَلَيْكَ خَيْلًا وَرِجَالًا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَكْفِينِيكَ اللَّهُ وَابْنَا قَيْلَةَ " ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ عَامِرٌ فَجَمَعَ لِلنَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ ثَلَاثَةُ أَبْطُنٍ ، هُمُ الَّذِينَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَدْعُو عَلَيْهِمْ فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ : " اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ لِحْيَانَ ، وَرِعْلًا ، وَذَكْوَانَ ، وَعُصَيَّةَ عَصَتِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ " ، فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَنَّ عَامِرًا جَمَعَ لَهُ بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَشَرَةً فِيهِمْ : عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيُّ ، وَسَائِرُهُمْ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، وَأَمِيرُهُمُ الْمُنْذِرُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، فَمَضَوْا حَتَّى نَزَلُوا بِئْرَ مَعُونَةَ ، فَأَقْبَلَ حَتَّى هَجَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَتَلَهُمْ كُلَّهُمْ ، فَلَمْ يُفْلِتْ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ كَانَ فِي الرِّكَابِ ، فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - إِلَى نَبِيِّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَوْمَ قَتَلُوا ، خَيْرَ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ : " قَدْ قُتِلَ أَصْحَابُكُمْ مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ " فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى عَامِرِ بْنِ الطُّفَيْلِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي عَامِرًا " فَكَفَاهُ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهُ ، فَأَقْبَلَ حَتَّى نَزَلَ بِفِنَائِهِ ، فَرَمَاهُ اللَّهُ بِالذَّبْحَةِ فِي حَلْقِهِ فِي بَيْتِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ سَلُولٍ ، فَأَقْبَلَ يَنْزُو وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : يَا آلَ عَامِرٍ غُدَّةٌ كَغُدَّةِ الْجَمَلِ فِي بَيْتِ سَلُولِيَّةٍ تَرْغَبُ أَنْ تَمُوتَ فِي بَيْتِهَا ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى مَاتَ فِي بَيْتِهَا ، وَكَانَ أَرْبَدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ أَصَابَتْهُ صَاعِقَةٌ فَاحْتَرَقَ فَمَاتَ ، فَرَجَعَ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُمْ .

Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Amir bin al-Tufayl came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah. While speaking with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) he argued back, and his voice became raised. Sayyiduna Thabit bin Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) was standing over the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), holding his sword. He said: "O Amir! Keep your voice lowered before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)!" He said: "What business is that of yours?" Sayyiduna Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By the One who has honoured him! Were it not that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would dislike it, I would have struck off your head with this sword." Amir, who was sitting, looked at him while Thabit was standing, and said: "By Allah, O Thabit! If you were to present yourself to me, you would certainly turn away from me." Sayyiduna Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah, O Amir! If you were to present yourself to my tongue, you would come to dislike my life." Meanwhile, a nephew of Amir bin al-Tufayl sneezed and praised Allah Almighty, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) responded to his sneeze. Then Amir bin al-Tufayl sneezed but did not praise Allah Almighty, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not respond to him. Amir said: "You responded to this boy and not to me?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He praised Allah Almighty." He said: "Then by the One by whom one swears, I will gather horsemen and foot soldiers against you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty will suffice me against you, and the two sons of Qaylah will suffice." Then Amir left and began gathering people against the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and people from three branches of Banu Sulaym joined him. These were the people whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had been supplicating against in the Fajr prayer; he would say: "O Allah! Curse Lihyan, Ri'l and Dhakwan! And Usayyah has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger. Allah is the Greatest." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept making this supplication for seventeen days. When he heard that Amir had gathered people against him, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent ten men, among whom was Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah al-Damri (may Allah be pleased with him); the rest of them were from the Ansar, and their commander was Sayyiduna al-Mundhir bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him). They set out until they camped by Bi'r Ma'unah. Then he (the enemy) advanced, attacked them and killed them all. Of all of them, only Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) escaped; he was among the mounts. On the very day that the best of his Companions were martyred, Allah Almighty sent revelation to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your companions have been killed behind you." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated against Amir bin al-Tufayl; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah! Suffice me against Amir!" So Allah Almighty sufficed him against him. That man came and alighted in his courtyard, and Allah Almighty afflicted him with the disease called dhabhah (an abscess) in his throat. He was in the house of a woman from Salul. He began leaping about, and he was saying: "O family of Amir! A gland like the gland of a camel, in the house of a woman of Salul!" He was averse to dying in that woman's house, but he remained there continuously until he died in that woman's house. A man named Arbad bin Qays was struck by a thunderbolt; he was burned and died. So all the people who were with them went back.

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent his maternal uncle Sayyiduna Haram (may Allah be pleased with him), the brother of Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), along with seventy men, who were later martyred at Bi'r Ma'unah, the chief of the polytheists in those days was Amir bin al-Tufayl. He had come to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Settle on one of three things for me: the people of the settled lands will be with you and the people of the desert will remain with me; or else I will become caliph after you; otherwise I will wage war on you with the Ghatafan tribe, with two thousand animals (along with men)." The narrator says: He was struck by illness in the house of a woman from such-and-such a clan. He said: "This is a gland like the gland of a camel, in the house of a woman from such-and-such a tribe. Bring me my horse!" It was brought to him, he mounted it, and then he died while on its back. Sayyiduna Haram (may Allah be pleased with him), the brother of Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), went, and two men were with him: one was from Banu Umayyah, and the other was a lame man. He said to them: "Stay near me until I come to you. If these people grant me safety, well and good; otherwise you will be near me. If they kill me, then inform your companions about it." Then Sayyiduna Haram (may Allah be pleased with him) went to those people and said: "Do you grant me safety so that I may convey to you the message of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to you?" They said: "Very well!" Then he began talking with them. They signalled to a man from among themselves; he came from behind him and struck him with a spear until the spear passed right through him. He said: "Allahu Akbar! By the Lord of the Ka'bah, I have succeeded!" The narrator says: Then those people killed all of them, except the lame man, whom they did not kill because he was on the top of a mountain. After this the narrator mentioned the complete hadith.
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ قَالَ هَمَّامٌ : فَأَرَاهُ ذَكَرَ مَعَ الْأَعْرَجِ آخَرَ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ ، قُلْتُ : هُوَ فِي الصَّحِيحِ بِاخْتِصَارٍ .

Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: "Mula'ib al-Asinnah" came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bringing a gift. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered Islam to him, but he refused to accept Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I do not accept the gift of a polytheist." He said: "Then send whomever you wish to the people of Najd; I grant them protection." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent some people to them, one of whom was Sayyiduna al-Mundhir bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him); he is the one who is called "al-Mu'taq li-Yamut" (the one set free to die) or "U'tiqa ind al-Mawt" (he was set free at death). Amir bin al-Tufayl tried to rally Banu Amir against them, but they refused to obey him, and they refused to violate the protection given by "Mula'ib al-Asinnah". Amir then called on Banu Sulaym to gather against them (i.e. the Companions), and they agreed to his call. About a hundred archers together came after them; they caught up with them at "Bi'r Ma'unah" and killed them; only Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) survived.

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَغَيْرِهِ ; أَنَّ عَامِرَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الَّذِي يُدْعَى مُلَاعِبَ الْأَسِنَّةِ قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ مُشْرِكٌ ، فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - الْإِسْلَامَ ، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنِّي لَا أَقْبَلُ هَدِيَّةَ مُشْرِكٍ " .

فَطَعَنَ رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَامِرَ بْنَ الطُّفَيْلِ فِي خَفْرَتِهِ عَامِرُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فِي فَخِذِهِ طَعْنَةً فَقَدَّهُ ، رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
فَقَالَ عَامِرُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ : ابْعَثْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رُسُلِكَ مَنْ شِئْتَ فَأَنَا لَهُمْ جَارٌ ، فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - رَهْطًا فِيهِمُ الْمُنْذِرُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو السَّاعَدِيُّ - وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ : أُعْتِقَ لِيَمُوتَ - عَيْنًا فِي أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ ، فَسَمِعَ بِهِمْ عَامِرُ بْنُ الطُّفَيْلِ ، فَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمْ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ ، فَنَفَرُوا مَعَهُ فَقَتَلَهُمْ بِبِئْرِ مَعُونَةَ غَيْرَ عَمْرِو بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيِّ ، أَخَذَهُ عَامِرُ بْنُ الطُّفَيْلِ فَأَرْسَلَهُ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ ، وَكَانَ فِيهِمْ عَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ .
فَزَعَمَ لِي عُرْوَةُ : أَنَّهُ قُتِلَ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ جَسَدُهُ حِينَ دَفَنُوهُ ، يَقُولُ عُرْوَةُ : كَانُوا يَرَوْنَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ هِيَ دَفَنَتْهُ ، فَقَالَ حَسَّانُ يُعَرِّضُ عَلَى عَامِرِ بْنِ الطُّفَيْلِ :
بَنِي أُمِّ الْبَنِينَ أَلَمْ يَرُعْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ مِنْ ذَوَائِبِ أَهْلِ نَجْدِ تَهَكُّمُ عَامِرٍ بِأَبِي بَرَاءٍ

It is reported from Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) and others: "Amir bin Malik, the man who is called 'Mula'ib al-Asinnah', came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and at that time he was a polytheist. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered Islam to him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'I do not accept the gift of a polytheist.' Amir bin Malik said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Send whomever you wish from among your envoys (or preachers); I grant them protection.' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a group, one of whom was Sayyiduna al-Mundhir bin Amr al-Sa'idi (may Allah be pleased with him); he is the one who is called 'U'tiqa li-Yamut' (he was set free to die). They were sent to scout among the people of Najd. Amir bin al-Tufayl learned of them, and he called on men from Banu Sulaym to go with him; they set out with him, and they killed those Companions at 'Bi'r Ma'unah', except Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah al-Damri (may Allah be pleased with him), whom Amir bin al-Tufayl seized and then released. He alone from among them came back to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Among those people was Sayyiduna Amir bin Fuhayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)." The narrator says: Urwah told me that he was killed that day, but when they buried (the dead) his body was not found. Urwah says: People held that the angels had buried him. Sayyiduna Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) composed these verses taunting Amir bin al-Tufayl: "O sons of Umm al-Banin! You are among the foremost of the people of Najd; does it not trouble you that Amir showed arrogance toward Abu Bara', violating the protection he had given? And a mistake is not like a deliberate act." Then Rabi'ah bin Amir bin Malik, for Amir bin al-Tufayl's violation of the protection of Amir bin Malik, struck Amir bin al-Tufayl in his thigh with a thrust that tore into it.

Urwah bin al-Zubayr narrates: Then came the expedition of Sayyiduna al-Mundhir bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him), who belonged to Banu Sa'idah; they went toward "Bi'r Ma'unah". The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent "al-Muttalib al-Sulami" with them to guide them on the way. Then the enemies of Allah sent word to Amir bin al-Tufayl asking him for help, and he helped them against the Muslims. He had Sayyiduna al-Mundhir bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions killed; only Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah al-Damri (may Allah be pleased with him) survived. They took him captive and spared his life, and they brought him to Makkah. He is the one who buried Sayyiduna Khubayb bin Adi (may Allah be pleased with him). On the day of "Bi'r Ma'unah", the polytheists offered Urwah bin al-Salt that they would grant him safety, but he did not accept, so they killed him as well. It has been mentioned to us that on the day of "Bi'r Ma'unah", when the enemy had surrounded them, they said: "O Allah! We find no one who will convey a message about us to Your Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); there is none other than You. O Allah! Convey our greetings of peace to him on our behalf, and inform him of our situation."

Muhammad bin Ishaq narrates: After the Battle of Uhud, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed (in Madinah) for the remainder of Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa'dah and the (whole) month of Dhu al-Hijjah; the polytheists were in charge of that year's Hajj. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed through the month of Muharram as well. Then in the month of Safar he sent his Companions toward "Bi'r Ma'unah"; this was in the fourth month after the Battle of Uhud. Their account,
as they narrated it, is just as Ishaq narrated it to me, from al-Mughirah bin Abd al-Rahman bin al-Harith bin Hisham, and from Abdullah bin Abi Bakr bin Muhammad bin Amr bin Hazm, and from other people of knowledge. They narrate: "Abu Bara' Amir bin Malik bin Ja'far, 'Mula'ib al-Asinnah', came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered Islam to him; he did not accept Islam, but neither was he far from Islam. He said: 'O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! If you were to send a man from among your Companions to invite those people to your cause, that would be fitting; I hope that the people there will accept what you say.' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'I fear (for them from) the people of Najd.' Abu Bara' said: 'I grant them protection; send them, so that they may invite people to your cause.' So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna al-Mundhir bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) of Banu Sa'idah, who was called 'al-Mu'taq li-Yamut' (the one set free to die), and with him he sent forty of the best of the Muslims. Among them were Sayyiduna al-Harith bin al-Simmah (may Allah be pleased with him); Sayyiduna Haram bin Milhan (may Allah be pleased with him), who belonged to Banu Adi bin al-Najjar; Sayyiduna Urwah bin Asma' bin al-Salt al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him); Sayyiduna Nafi' bin Budayl bin Warqa' al-Khuza'i (may Allah be pleased with him); Sayyiduna Amir bin Fuhayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), the freed slave of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him); and some others besides them who were among the best of the Muslims, and whose names have also been mentioned. They set out until they camped by 'Bi'r Ma'unah'. It was a well in the land of Banu Amir, and near it was the stony tract (harrah) of Banu Sulaym; the lands of both were near this well, but it was nearer to the land of Banu Sulaym. When they had camped there, they sent Sayyiduna Haram bin Milhan (may Allah be pleased with him) with the letter of the Messenger of Allah to Amir bin al-Tufayl. When he came to them, he did not even look at the letter; rather, he went for that man and killed him. Then he called on Banu Amir for help, but they refused to accept what he called them to. They said: 'We will not violate the protection given by Abu Bara' (i.e. Amir bin Malik, "Mula'ib al-Asinnah"), for he made a pact for these people and granted them protection.' Then he (i.e. Amir bin al-Tufayl) called various tribes of Banu Sulaym, Usayyah, Ri'l and Dhakwan, against them, and they accepted his call. They set out and surrounded the Muslims, encircling them around their camp. When those Companions saw them, they drew their swords and kept fighting until the very last of them was martyred, except Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) of Banu Dinar bin al-Najjar, who survived because they left him, as there was still a flicker of life in him; he was carried off, badly wounded, from among the slain. He lived on afterwards until he was martyred at the Battle of the Trench. With the grazing animals were Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah al-Damri (may Allah be pleased with him) and a man from the Ansar who belonged to Banu Amr bin Awf. What had befallen their companions became known to the two of them only through the birds circling over the camp. The two of them said: 'By Allah! Something must lie behind these birds.' Then the two of them came to look into it, and there were the people lying drenched in their blood, and the horsemen who had struck them were standing there. The Ansari said to Amr bin Umayyah: 'What is your opinion?' He said: 'My view is that we should go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and inform him about this.' The Ansari said: 'But I have no wish to save myself by leaving a place where al-Mundhir bin Amr has been killed, nor would I want men to bring the news of him in my stead.' He fought the enemy until he was martyred. Then they took Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) prisoner. When he told them that he belonged to the Mudar tribe, Amir bin al-Tufayl released him; he cut off the hair of his forelock and set him free in place of a slave whose freeing, he claimed, was due from his mother. Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) left from there, until, when he was at al-Qarqarah near Quba', two men from Banu Amir came and halted in the same shade where he was. The men of Banu Amir had been given a pact and protection by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) did not know of this. When they halted he asked them: 'Whom do you belong to?' The two of them said: 'To Banu Amir.' So Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) let them sleep, and when they had fallen asleep, he attacked them and killed them both. He thought that he had done right by them, since it amounted to taking revenge on Banu Amir, because they had harmed the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of the situation, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'You have killed two people for whom I will certainly pay blood money.' Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'This is the doing of Abu Bara'; I disliked this and I feared it.' When Abu Bara' learned of this, it weighed heavily on him that Amir (bin al-Tufayl) had violated the protection he had given, and that, because of him and his protection, the Companions of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had suffered harm. So Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) composed these verses, inciting the son of Abu Bara' against Amir bin al-Tufayl: "O sons of Umm al-Banin! You are among the foremost of the people of Najd; does it not trouble you that Amir showed arrogance toward Abu Bara', violating the protection he had given? And a mistake is not like a deliberate act. Beware! Convey this message to Rabi'ah, the man of noble efforts: what has happened after me. Your father, Abu Bara', is the father of wars, and your maternal uncle, Hakam bin Sa'd, is a man of glory." So Rabi'ah bin Amir (i.e. the son of Abu Bara' "Mula'ib al-Asinnah") attacked Amir bin al-Tufayl and struck him with a spear, which hit his thigh but missed a fatal spot, and that man fell from his horse. He said: "This is the doing of Abu Bara'. If I die, my blood is for my uncle to settle, and it shall not be pursued; and if I live, I will decide whatever I see fit."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators up to Ibn Ishaq are thiqat (trustworthy).
as they narrated it, is just as Ishaq narrated it to me, from al-Mughirah bin Abd al-Rahman bin al-Harith bin Hisham, and from Abdullah bin Abi Bakr bin Muhammad bin Amr bin Hazm, and from other people of knowledge. They narrate: "Abu Bara' Amir bin Malik bin Ja'far, 'Mula'ib al-Asinnah', came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered Islam to him; he did not accept Islam, but neither was he far from Islam. He said: 'O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! If you were to send a man from among your Companions to invite those people to your cause, that would be fitting; I hope that the people there will accept what you say.' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'I fear (for them from) the people of Najd.' Abu Bara' said: 'I grant them protection; send them, so that they may invite people to your cause.' So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna al-Mundhir bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) of Banu Sa'idah, who was called 'al-Mu'taq li-Yamut' (the one set free to die), and with him he sent forty of the best of the Muslims. Among them were Sayyiduna al-Harith bin al-Simmah (may Allah be pleased with him); Sayyiduna Haram bin Milhan (may Allah be pleased with him), who belonged to Banu Adi bin al-Najjar; Sayyiduna Urwah bin Asma' bin al-Salt al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him); Sayyiduna Nafi' bin Budayl bin Warqa' al-Khuza'i (may Allah be pleased with him); Sayyiduna Amir bin Fuhayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), the freed slave of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him); and some others besides them who were among the best of the Muslims, and whose names have also been mentioned. They set out until they camped by 'Bi'r Ma'unah'. It was a well in the land of Banu Amir, and near it was the stony tract (harrah) of Banu Sulaym; the lands of both were near this well, but it was nearer to the land of Banu Sulaym. When they had camped there, they sent Sayyiduna Haram bin Milhan (may Allah be pleased with him) with the letter of the Messenger of Allah to Amir bin al-Tufayl. When he came to them, he did not even look at the letter; rather, he went for that man and killed him. Then he called on Banu Amir for help, but they refused to accept what he called them to. They said: 'We will not violate the protection given by Abu Bara' (i.e. Amir bin Malik, "Mula'ib al-Asinnah"), for he made a pact for these people and granted them protection.' Then he (i.e. Amir bin al-Tufayl) called various tribes of Banu Sulaym, Usayyah, Ri'l and Dhakwan, against them, and they accepted his call. They set out and surrounded the Muslims, encircling them around their camp. When those Companions saw them, they drew their swords and kept fighting until the very last of them was martyred, except Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) of Banu Dinar bin al-Najjar, who survived because they left him, as there was still a flicker of life in him; he was carried off, badly wounded, from among the slain. He lived on afterwards until he was martyred at the Battle of the Trench. With the grazing animals were Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah al-Damri (may Allah be pleased with him) and a man from the Ansar who belonged to Banu Amr bin Awf. What had befallen their companions became known to the two of them only through the birds circling over the camp. The two of them said: 'By Allah! Something must lie behind these birds.'
