حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: " اسْتَلْقَى الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ، ثُمَّ تَرَنَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَنَسٌ: «أَيْ أَخِي» ، فَاسْتَوَى جَالِسًا، وَقَالَ: «أَيْ أَنَسَ أَتُرَانِي أَمُوتُ عَلَى فِرَاشِي، وَقَدْ قَتَلْتُ مِائَةً مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مُبَارَزَةً، سِوَى مَنْ شَارَكْتُ فِي قَتْلِهِ»
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) lay down on his back, then began to hum (verses). So Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "O my brother!" At that he sat upright and said: "O Anas, do you think I will die on my bed, when I have killed a hundred of the polytheists in single combat, besides those in whose killing I shared?"
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، سَنَةَ تِسْعِينَ وَمِئَتَيْنِ، ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ثنا أَبُو هِلَالٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ أَنَسٌ عَلَى الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ الشِّعْرَ فَقَالَ: يَا أَخِي قَدْ عَلَّمَكَ اللهُ مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْهُ قَالَ: بَلَى، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْبَرَاءُ: أَتَخْشَى أَنْ أَمُوتَ عَلَى فِرَاشِي، وَاللهِ لَا يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ بَلَاءَ اللهِ إِيَّايَ، فَقَدْ قَتَلْتُ مِائَةً مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، مَا تَفَرَّدْتُ بِقَتْلِهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ شَارَكْتُ فِيهِ "
Muhammad bin Sirin relates: Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) entered upon Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was reciting poetry, and he said: O brother, Allah has taught you something better for you than this. He said: Certainly. Then al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Do you fear that I will die on my bed? By Allah, that will not be Allah's trial of me. I have killed a hundred of the polytheists, some of whom I killed alone and some in whose killing I shared.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: بَارَزَ الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَخُو أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ مَرْزُبَانَ الزَّارَةَ، فَقَتَلَهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ سَلَبَهُ، فَبَلَغَ سَلَبُهُ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَالَ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ: «إِنَّا كُنَّا لَا نُخَمِّسُ السَّلَبَ، وَإِنَّ سَلَبَ الْبَرَاءِ قَدْ بَلَغَ مَالًا كَثِيرًا، فَمَا أُرَانَا إِلَّا خَامِسِيهِ»
Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), the brother of Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), fought the Marzuban of al-Zarah in single combat, killed him and then took his spoils (salab), and his spoils reached thirty thousand. When this reached Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), he said to Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him): "We used not to take a fifth from the spoils of the slain, but the spoils of al-Bara' have reached a great amount, so I think we should take a fifth of it."
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: لَقِيَ الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ يَوْمَ مُسَيْلِمَةَ رَجُلًا يُقَالُ لَهُ حِمَارُ الْيَمَامَةَ قَالَ: «رَجُلٌ طُوَالٌ فِي يَدِهِ سَيْفٌ أَبْيَضُ» قَالَ: «وَكَانَ الْبَرَاءُ رَجُلًا قَصِيرًا فَضَرَبَ الْبَرَاءُ رِجْلَيْهِ بِالسَّيْفِ، فَكَأَنَّمَا أَخْطَأَهُ فَوَقَعَ عَلَى قَفَاهُ» قَالَ: «فَأَخَذْتُ سَيْفَهُ، وأَغْمَدْتُ سَيْفِي فَمَا ضَرَبْتُ إِلَّا ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً، حَتَّى انْقَطَعَ فَأَلْقَيْتُهُ، وَأَخَذْتُ سَيْفِي»
Muhammad bin Sirin relates: On the day of Musaylimah, Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) encountered a man who was called "Himar al-Yamamah" (the Donkey of Yamamah). He was "a tall man with a white sword in his hand," and "al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) was a short man. So al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) struck at his legs with the sword, but it was as if he missed him, and he fell on his back." (Al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him)) said: "So I took hold of his sword and sheathed my own sword, and I struck only a single blow until (his sword) broke, so I threw it away and took my own sword."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ الصَّائِغُ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْمُسَيَّبِيُّ، ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، أَخُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ الْمَاجِشُونَ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، قَالَ: " بَيْنَمَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، وَأَخُوهُ الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ عِنْدَ حِصْنٍ مِنْ حُصُونِ الْعَدُوِّ، وَالْعَدُوُّ يُلْقُونَ كَلَالِيبَ فِي سَلَاسِلَ مُحْمَاةٍ، فَتَعْلَقُ بِالْإِنْسَانِ فَيَرْفَعُونَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَعَلِقَ بَعْضُ تِلْكَ الْكَلَالِيبِ، بِأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَرَفَعُوهُ حَتَّى أَقَلُّوهُ مِن الْأَرْضَ فَأَتَى أَخُوهُ الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَقِيلَ: أَدْرِكْ أَخَاكَ، وَهُوَ يُقَاتِلُ في النَّاسِ فَأَقْبَلَ يَسْعَى حَتَّى نَزَا فِي الْجِدَارِ، ثُمَّ قَبَضَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى السِّلْسِلَةِ وَهِي تُدَارُ، فَمَا بَرِحَ يَجُرُّهُمْ وَيَدَاهُ، تُدَخِّنَانِ حَتَّى قَطَعَ الْحَبْلَ، ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَى يَدَيْهِ، فَإِذَا عِظَامُهَا تَلُوحُ قَدْ ذَهَبَ مَا عَلَيْهَا مِنَ اللَّحْمِ، وأَنْجَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ بِذَاكَ "
It is narrated that Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) and his brother Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) were at one of the enemy's fortresses, and the enemy were throwing hooks on heated chains, which would catch hold of a man and they would pull him up towards them. One of those hooks caught hold of Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), and they lifted him high off the ground. Then (someone) came to his brother al-Bara' bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) and it was said: Save your brother! He was fighting among the people. So he came running until he leapt onto the wall, then he grabbed with his hand the chain that was being pulled, and he kept pulling against them while both his hands were smoking, until he cut the rope. Then he looked at his hands and their bones were showing; the flesh on them had gone. And Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, saved Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) by means of that (effort).
