Musnad Abi Ya'la 905 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and said

بَقِيَّةٌ مِنْ مُسْنَدِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ : دَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : « إِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ ابْنَ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ نُبَيْحٍ الْهُذَلِيَّ جَمَعَ لِيَ النَّاسَ لِيَغْزُوَنِي ، وَهُوَ بِنَخْلَةَ ، أَوْ بِعُرَنَةَ ، فَأْتِهِ » قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، انْعَتْهُ لِي حَتَّى أَعْرِفَهُ ، فَقَالَ : « آيَةُ مَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ ، أَنَّكَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُ وَجَدْتَ لَهُ قُشَعْرِيرَةً » قَالَ : فَخَرَجْتُ مُتَوَشِّحًا بِسَيْفِي حَتَّى وَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهِ فِي ظُعُنٍ يَرْتَادُ لَهُنَّ مَنْزِلًا ، حِينَ كَانَ وَقْتُ الْعَصْرِ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ وَجَدْتُ مَا وَصَفَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنَ الْقُشَعْرِيرَةِ ، فَأَخَذْتُ نَحْوَهُ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ مُحَاوَلَةٌ تَشْغَلُنِي عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ ، فَصَلَّيْتُ وَأَنَا أَمْشِي نَحْوَهُ أُومِئُ بِرَأْسِي ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ : مِمَّنِ الرَّجُلُ ؟ قُلْتُ : رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ سَمِعَ بِكَ وَبِجَمْعِكَ لِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ ، فَجَاءَ لِذَلِكَ . قَالَ : أَجَلْ ، إِنِّي أَنَا فِي ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : فَمَشَيْتُ مَعَهُ شَيْئًا حَتَّى إِذَا أَمْكَنَنِي حَمَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِالسَّيْفِ حَتَّى قَتَلْتُهُ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ وَتَرَكْتُ ظَعَائِنَهُ مُنْكَبَّاتٍ عَلَيْهِ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَرَآنِي قَالَ : « قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْوَجْهُ » . قَالَ : قُلْتُ : قَتَلْتُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ . قَالَ : « صَدَقْتَ » قَالَ : ثُمَّ قَامَ مَعِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَدْخَلَنِي بَيْتَهُ فَأَعْطَانِي عَصًا ، فَقَالَ : « أَمْسِكْ هَذِهِ الْعَصَا عِنْدَكَ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أُنَيْسٍ » . قَالَ : فَخَرَجْتُ بِهَا عَلَى النَّاسِ ، فَقَالُوا : مَا هَذِهِ الْعَصَا ؟ قُلْتُ : أَعْطَانِيهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُمْسِكَهَا . قَالُوا : أَفَلَا تَرْجِعُ فَتَسْأَلَهُ : لِمَ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ : فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لِمَ أَعْطَيْتَنِي هَذِهِ الْعَصَا ؟ قَالَ : « آيَةٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، إِنَّ أَقَلَّ النَّاسِ الْمُخْتَصِرُونَ - أَوِ : الْمُتَخَصِّرُونَ - يَوْمَئِذٍ » . فَقَرَنَهَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بِسَيْفِهِ ، فَلَمْ تَزَلْ مَعَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا مَاتَ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَضُمَّتْ مَعَهُ فِي كَفَنِهِ ، ثُمَّ دُفِنَا جَمِيعًا ، رَحِمَهُ اللهُ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Unays (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called him and said: "News has reached me that (Khalid) bin Sufyan bin Nubayh al-Hudhali is gathering people to fight me, and he is at Nakhlah or Uranah; go to him." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, describe him to me so that I may recognise him." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The sign between you and him is that when you see him, a shudder will come over you." He said: I set out with my sword slung on me until I came upon him while he was with his women, looking for a place for them to camp, and it was the time of Asr. When I saw him, the same shudder came over me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had described. I moved towards him, and I feared that some struggle might occur between him and me that would distract me from the prayer, so I prayed while walking towards him, making signs with my head. When I reached him, he asked: "Who are you?" I said: "A man of the Arabs who heard about you and about your gathering an army against this man (Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)), so I have come for that purpose." He said: "Yes, I am engaged in that very thing." I walked with him for a while until, when I got the chance, I attacked him with the sword and killed him. Then I left, leaving his women bent over him. When I reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw me, he said: "This face has succeeded." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have killed him." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have spoken the truth." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) got up with me, took me into his house, gave me a staff and said: "O Abdullah bin Unays, keep this staff with you." I came out with it to the people, and they asked: "What is this staff?" I said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave it to me and ordered me to keep it." They said: "Will you not go back and ask him (peace and blessings be upon him) why that is?" So I went back to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, why did you give me this staff?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It will be a sign between me and you on the Day of Resurrection; on that day, people who walk with their hand on their waist (leaning on a staff) will be very few." So Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) kept the staff together with his sword, and it remained with him always, until, when the time of his death came, he gave instructions and it was placed with him in his shroud, and then both were buried together. May Allah have mercy on him.
