Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 6242 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Amir bin

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ حُكَيْمَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ، مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، ثنا إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِعَامِرِ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ: «انْزِلْ يَا عَامِرُ فَأَسْمِعْنَا مِنْ هُنَيَّاتِكَ» ، فَنَزَلَ، وَهُوَ يَرْتَجِزُ:
[البحر الرجز]
وَاللهِ لَوْلَا اللهُ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا ... وَلَا تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلَا صَلَّيْنَا
فَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا ... وَثَبِّتِ الْأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لَاقَيْنَا
إِنَّ الْأُولَى قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا
فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ رَبُّكَ» ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ، هَلَّا مَتَّعْتَنَا مِنَ ابْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، فَصَبَّحْنَا خَيْبَرَ الْغَدَ، فَكَانَ مِنْ خَبَرِ عَامِرٍ أَنْ حَالَ عَلَيْهِ سَيْفُهُ فَقَتَلَهُ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: قَتَلَ عَامِرٌ نَفْسَهُ، فَذَهَبَ سَلَمَةُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: كَانَ مِنْ مَنِيَّةِ عَامِرٍ أَنْ حَالَ عَلَيْهِ سَيْفُهُ، فَقَتَلَهُ، فَزَعَمَ النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ؟ فَقَالَ: «كَذَبُوا، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ يَعُومُ عَوَمَانِ الدُّعْمُوصِ»
Sayyiduna Salamah bin al-Akwa' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Amir bin al-Akwa' (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Amir, dismount and let us hear some of your verses." So he dismounted and began reciting rajaz: "By Allah, were it not for Allah we would not have been guided, nor would we have given charity nor prayed; so send down tranquillity upon us, and make our feet firm if we meet (the enemy); indeed those people have transgressed against us." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "May your Lord have mercy on you." At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Prophet of Allah, may my father be ransomed for you, if only you had let us benefit from Ibn al-Akwa' longer. Then when we reached Khaybar the next morning, what happened to Amir was that his own sword turned back on him and he was martyred by it, and the people said: Amir killed himself. So Sayyiduna Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Amir's death came about when his own sword turned back on him and he was martyred by it, so do the people claim that he killed himself? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They have lied. By the One in whose hand is my soul, it is as though I see him in Paradise swimming as a small fish swims."
