حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ ، قَالَ : غَزَوْنَا غَزْوَةً إِلَى طَرَفِ الشَّامِ ، فَأُمِّرَ عَلَيْنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، قَالَ : فَانْضَمَّ إِلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَمْدَادِ حِمْيَرَ فَأَوَى إِلَى رَحْلِنَا ، لَيْسَ مَعَهُ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا سَيْفٌ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ سِلَاحٌ غَيْرَهُ ، فَنَحَرَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ جَزُورًا ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَحْتَلْ حَتَّى أَخَذَ مِنْ جِلْدِهِ كَهَيْئَةِ الْمِجَنِّ ، حَتَّى بَسَطَهُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ ، ثُمَّ وَقَدَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى جَفَّ ، فَجَعَلَ لَهُ مُمْسِكًا كَهَيْئَةِ التُّرْسِ ، فَقُضِيَ أَنْ لَقِينَا عَدُوَّنَا فِيهِمْ أَخْلَاطٌ مِنَ الرُّومِ وَالْعَرَبِ مِنْ قُضَاعَةَ ، فَقَاتَلُونَا قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا ، وَفِي الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الرُّومِ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لَهُ أَشْقَرَ ، وَسَرْجٍ مُذَهَّبٍ وَمِنْطَقَةٍ مُلَطَّخَةٍ ذَهَبًا وَسَيْفٌ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ ، فَجَعَلَ يَحْمِلُ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ وَيُغْرِي بِهِمْ ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ ذَلِكَ الْمَدَدِيُّ يَحْتَالُ لِذَلِكَ الرُّومِيِّ حَتَّى مَرَّ بِهِ فَاسْتَقْفَاهُ ، فَضَرَبَ عُرْقُوبَ فَرَسِهِ بِالسَّيْفِ فَوَقَعَ ، ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهُ ضَرْبًا بِالسَّيْفِ حَتَّى قَتَلَهُ ، فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ الْفَتْحَ أَقْبَلَ يَسْأَلُ لِلسَّلَبِ ، وَقَدْ شَهِدَ لَهُ النَّاسُ بِأَنَّهُ قَاتِلُهُ ، فَأَعْطَاهُ خَالِدٌ بَعْضَ سَلَبِهِ ، وَأَمْسَكَ سَائِرَهُ ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ إِلَى رَحْلِ عَوْفٍ ذَكَرَهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَوْفٌ : ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ ، فَلْيُعْطِكَ مَا بَقِيَ ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِ ، فَمَشَى عَوْفٌ حَتَّى أَتَى خَالِدًا ، فَقَالَ : أَمَا تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى بِالسَّلَبِ لِلْقَاتِلِ ؟ قَالَ : بَلَى ، قَالَ : فَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَدْفَعَ إِلَيْهِ سَلَبَ قَتِيلِهِ ؟ قَالَ خَالِدٌ : اسْتَكْثَرْتُهُ لَهُ ، قَالَ عَوْفٌ : لَئِنْ رَأَيْتُ وَجْهَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَأَذْكُرَنَّ ذَلِكَ لَهُ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ بَعَثَهُ عَوْفٌ فَاسْتَعْدَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَدَعَا خَالِدًا وَعَوْفٌ قَاعِدٌ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا يَمْنَعُكَ يَا خَالِدُ أَنْ تَدْفَعَ إِلَى هَذَا سَلَبَ قَتِيلِهِ ؟ " قَالَ : اسْتَكْثَرْتُهُ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ : " ادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهِ " ، قَالَ : فَمَرَّ بِعَوْفٍ ، فَجَرَّ عَوْفٌ بِرِدَائِهِ ، فَقَالَ : لِيَجْزِي لَكَ مَا ذَكَرْتُ لَكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَسَمِعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتُغْضِبَ ، فَقَالَ : " لَا تُعْطِهِ يَا خَالِدُ ، هَلْ أَنْتُمْ تَارِكِي أُمَرَائِي ، إِنَّمَا مَثَلُكُمْ وَمَثَلُهُمْ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتُرْعِيَ إِبِلًا وْ غَنَمًا ، فَرَعَاهَا ثُمَّ تَخَيَّرَ سَقْيَهَا ، فَأَوْرَدَهَا حَوْضًا فَشَرَعَتْ فِيهِ فَشَرِبَتْ صَفْوَةَ الْمَاءِ وَتَرَكَتْ كَدَرَهُ ، فَصَفْوُهُ لَكُمْ ، وَكَدَرُهُ عَلَيْهِمْ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that we participated in a military expedition towards Syria, and our commander was Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him). A man from the tribe of Himyar joined us and began staying in our tent. He had nothing with him except a sword and no other belongings or weapons. During this time, a Muslim slaughtered a camel. That man kept watching for an opportunity until he managed to obtain a piece of its hide equal to the size of a shield and spread it on the ground. When it dried, it became a shield for him.
Meanwhile, we encountered the enemy, among whom were Romans and the Arab tribe of Banu Quda'ah, who had gathered together. They fought us fiercely. Among the Romans was a man riding a red and white horse, whose saddle was of gold and his belt was also mixed with gold, as was his sword. He was attacking the Muslims with great vigor, and the Himyari man was constantly watching for an opportunity against him. When that Roman passed by him, he came out from behind and attacked him, striking the horse's leg with his sword, causing the Roman to fall. Then he struck such a powerful blow with his sword that he killed the Roman.
After victory, when he intended to take the Roman's belongings and people testified that he was the one who killed the Roman, Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) gave him some of the belongings and withheld some. The man returned to the tent of Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) and mentioned the incident to him. Awf said, "You should go back to him; he should give you your belongings." So he went again to Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him), but he refused again. Awf said, "Will he get it?" He replied, "Why not?" Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Then what is stopping you from handing over the slain man's belongings to him?" Hazrat Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I consider it too much." Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "If I get to see the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I will surely mention this to him."
When they reached Madinah and came to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of the matter, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Hazrat Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him), "Who stopped you from giving him the belongings?" Hazrat Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "O Messenger of Allah! I considered it too much." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Give him the belongings." Then, as he passed by Awf (may Allah be pleased with him), Awf pulled Hazrat Khalid's cloak and said, "What I mentioned to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has happened, hasn't it?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) heard this and became displeased. Then he said, "O Khalid! Now do not give it to him." (And he said,) "Can you not leave my appointed officers alone? Your and their example is like a man who bought camels or goats to graze, then brought them to the pond at the time of drinking, and they began to drink. The clear water they drank, and they left the dregs. So the good things are for you, and the bad things are for the caretakers."
