Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2375 — A sword from Najran was presented as a gift

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ : نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ قَالَ : نَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ الْأَشْهَلِيِّ قَالَ : أُهْدِيَ لِلنَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - سَيْفٌ مِنْ نَجْرَانَ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ أَعْطَاهُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ فَقَالَ : جَاهِدْ بِهَذَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ، فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفَتْ أَعْنَاقُ النَّاسِ فَاضْرِبْ بِهِ الْحَجَرَ ، ثُمَّ ادْخُلْ بَيْتَكَ فَكُنْ حِلْسًا مُلْقًى حَتَّى تَقْتُلَكَ كَفٌّ خَاطِئَةٌ ، أَوْ تَأْتِيَكَ مَنِيَّةٌ قَاضِيَةٌ .
لَا يُرْوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ الْحَجَبِيُّ .
Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Zayd al-Ashhali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A sword from Najran was presented as a gift to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When it reached him (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave it to Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Strive (in jihad) with this in the path of Allah. Then, when people's necks turn against one another (that is, when strife and civil war break out), strike it against a rock, then stay in your house and lie there like a spread-out mat, until a sinful hand kills you or a decisive death comes to you."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain, and al-Hajabi is alone in narrating it."
