Musnad Ahmad 15525 — Hadith of Abu Al-Yasar Al-Ansari Ka'b ibn 'Amr
(حديث مرفوع) قُرِئَ عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ فِي مَغَازِي أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ , وَحَدَّثَنِي بُرَيْدَةُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ ، عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْيَسَرِ كَعْبِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : قَالَ : وَاللَّهِ إِنَّا لَمَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِخَيْبَرَ عَشِيَّةً إِذْ أَقْبَلَتْ غَنَمٌ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ يَهُودَ تُرِيدُ حِصْنَهُمْ ، وَنَحْنُ مُحَاصِرُوهُمْ ، إِذْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ رَجُلٌ يُطْعِمُنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْغَنَمِ ؟ " قَالَ أَبُو الْيَسَرِ : فَقُلْتُ : أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَال : " فَافْعَلْ " قَالَ : فَخَرَجْتُ أَشْتَدُّ مِثْلَ الظَّلِيمِ ، فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُوَلِّيًا ، قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ أَمْتِعْنَا بِه " قَالَ : فَأَدْرَكْتُ الْغَنَمَ ، وَقَدْ دَخَلَتْ أَوَائِلُهَا الْحِصْنَ ، فَأَخَذْتُ شَاتَيْنِ مِنْ أُخْرَاهَا ، فَاحْتَضَنْتُهُمَا تَحْتَ يَدَيَّ ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْتُ بِهِمَا أَشْتَدُّ كَأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مَعِي شَيْءٌ ، حَتَّى أَلْقَيْتُهُمَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَذَبَحُوهُمَا ، فَأَكَلُوهُمَا ، فَكَانَ أَبُو الْيَسَرِ مِنْ آخِرِ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَلَاكًا ، فَكَانَ إِذَا حَدَّثَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ بَكَى ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : أُمْتِعُوا بِي لَعَمْرِي كُنْتُ آخِرَهُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Yasar that, by Allah, we were in Khaybar that evening with the Prophet (ﷺ) when a flock of goats belonging to a Jew wanted to enter the fortress, and we had laid siege to it. At that moment, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Who will feed us from these goats?" I offered myself, and the Prophet (ﷺ) gave me permission. I rushed out swiftly, and when the Prophet (ﷺ) saw me going, he said, "O Allah, grant us benefit through him." When I reached the flock, its front part had already entered the fortress. I caught two goats from the rear, held them under my hands, and brought them running in such a way as if there was nothing in my hands, until I placed them before the Prophet (ﷺ). The companions slaughtered them and everyone ate from them. Sayyiduna Abu Yasar was the last to pass away among the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ), and whenever he narrated this hadith, he would weep and say, "Benefit from me, by Allah, I am the last person of this group."
