Hadith 16077
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى أَبُو عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الضَّمْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ الْخِيَارِ إِلَى الشَّامِ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا حِمْصَ ، قَالَ لِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ : هَلْ لَكَ فِي وَحْشِيٍّ نَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ قَتْلِ حَمْزَةَ ؟ قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ , وكان وَحْشِيٌّ يَسْكُنُ حِمْصَ ، قَالَ : فَسَأَلْنَا عَنْهُ ، فَقِيلَ لَنَا : هُوَ ذَاكَ فِي ظِلِّ قَصْرِهِ كَأَنَّهُ حَمِيتٌ , قَالَ : فَجِئْنَا حَتَّى وَقَفْنَا عَلَيْهِ ، فَسَلَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْنَا السَّلَامَ ، قَالَ : وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ مُعْتَجِرٌ بِعِمَامَتِهِ مَا يَرَى وَحْشِيٌّ إِلَّا عَيْنَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ : يَا وَحْشِيُّ ، أَتَعْرِفُنِي ؟ قَالَ : فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : لَا وَاللَّهِ ، إلا أني أعلم أن عدي بن الخيار تزوج امرأة يقال لها : أم قتال ابنة أبي العيص ، فولدت له غلاما بمكة ، فاسترضعه , فحملت ذلك الغلام مع أمه ، فناولتها إياه ، فلكأني نظرت إلى قدميك . قَالَ : فَكَشَفَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ وَجْهَهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَلَا تُخْبِرُنَا بِقَتْلِ حَمْزَةَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، إِنَّ حَمْزَةَ قَتَلَ طُعَيْمَةَ بْنَ عَدِيٍّ بِبَدْرٍ ، فَقَالَ لِي : مَوْلَايَ جُبَيْرُ بْنُ مُطْعِمٍ : إِنْ قَتَلْتَ حَمْزَةَ بِعَمِّي فَأَنْتَ حُرٌّ , فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ عِينِينَ ، قَالَ : وَعِينِينُ جُبَيْلٌ تَحْتَ أُحُدٍ ، وَبَيْنَهُ وَادٍ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ النَّاسِ إِلَى الْقِتَالِ ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ اصْطَفُّوا لِلْقِتَالِ ، قَالَ : خَرَجَ سِبَاعٌ : مَنْ مُبَارِزٌ ؟ قَالَ : فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا سِبَاعُ ، يَا بْنُ أُمِّ أَنْمَارٍ ، يَا ابْنَ مُقَطِّعَةِ الْبُظُورِ ، أَتُحَادُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ , ثُمَّ شَدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَكَانَ كَأَمْسِ الذَّاهِبِ ، وَأَكْمَنْتُ لِحَمْزَةَ تَحْتَ صَخْرَةٍ ، حَتَّى إِذَا مَرَّ عَلَيَّ ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ دَنَا مِنِّي رَمَيْتُهُ ، بِحَرْبَتِي فَأَضَعُهَا فِي ثُنَّتِهِ حَتَّى خَرَجَتْ مِنْ بَيْنِ وَرِكَيْهِ . قَالَ : فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الْعَهْدُ بِهِ , قَالَ : فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ النَّاسُ رَجَعْتُ مَعَهُمْ ، قَالَ : فَأَقَمْتُ بِمَكَّةَ حَتَّى فَشَا فِيهَا الْإِسْلَامُ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الطَّائِفِ ، قَالَ : فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : وَقِيلَ لَهُ : إِنَّهُ لَا يَهِيجُ لِلرُّسُلِ , قَالَ : فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَهُمْ حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا رَآنِي , قَالَ : " أَنْتَ وَحْشِيٌّ ؟ " , قَالَ : قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ , قَالَ : " أَنْتَ قَتَلْتَ حَمْزَةَ ؟ " , قَالَ : قُلْتُ : قَدْ كَانَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ مَا بَلَغَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِذْ قَالَ : " مَا تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُغَيِّبَ عَنِّي وَجْهَكَ " , قَالَ : فَرَجَعْتُ ، فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَخَرَجَ مُسَيْلِمَةُ الْكَذَّابُ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : لَأَخْرُجَنَّ إِلَى مُسَيْلِمَةَ لَعَلِّي أَقْتُلُهُ فَأُكَافِئَ بِهِ حَمْزَةَ , قَالَ : فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَ النَّاسِ ، فَكَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ مَا كَانَ ، قَالَ : فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَائِمٌ فِي ثَلْمَةِ جِدَارٍ كَأَنَّهُ جَمَلٌ أَوْرَقُ ، ثَائِرٌ رَأْسُهُ , قَالَ : فَأَرْمِيهِ بِحَرْبَتِي ، فَأَضَعُهَا بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيْهِ ، حَتَّى خَرَجَتْ مِنْ بَيْنِ كَتِفَيْهِ ، قَالَ : وَوَثَبَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، قَالَ : فَضَرَبَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ عَلَى هَامَتِهِ . قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ : فَأَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يَقٌولُ : فَقَالَتْ جَارِيَةٌ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ : وَأَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، قَتَلَهُ الْعَبْدُ الْأَسْوَدُ .
Ja'far bin Umayyah Zumari says that once I set out on a journey to Syria with Ubaidullah bin Adi. When we reached the city of Homs, Ubaidullah said to me, "If you wish, let us go to Wahshi the Abyssinian and ask him about the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Hamza." I said, "Let us go." Sayyiduna Wahshi lived in Homs. We asked people for his address, and a person said, "He is sitting over there in the shade of his palace, like a large water-filled skin." We went to him and, upon reaching, greeted him with salam. Sayyiduna Wahshi replied to the salam. At that time, Ubaidullah was wrapped in a sheet in such a way that except for his eyes and feet, no part of his body was visible. Ubaidullah asked Sayyiduna Wahshi, "Do you recognize me?" Wahshi looked carefully and said, "By Allah, I do not know you, except that I know that Adi bin Khiyar married Umm al-Qital. Adi had a son from that woman who was born in Mecca. I searched for a wet nurse for that boy and took the boy along with wealth and gave him to her. Now, seeing your feet, I am reminded of that boy." Hearing this, Ubaidullah uncovered his face and said, "Please narrate the incident of Sayyiduna Hamza." Wahshi said, "Yes, the story is that in the Battle of Badr, Ta’ima bin Adi was killed by Hamza. Seeing this, my master Jubair bin Mut’im said, 'If you kill Hamza in revenge for my uncle, you are free on my behalf.' So, when the people of Quraysh set out in the year of Uhud, I also went with them to fight. After the ranks were set, Siba’ came out into the field and called out, 'Is there anyone who can face me?' Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib came out to face him and said, 'O Siba’, son of a woman who performs circumcision on women, do you oppose Allah and His Messenger?' Saying this, Sayyiduna Hamza attacked him and Siba’ was killed. Meanwhile, I was hiding behind a rock to kill Sayyiduna Hamza. When he came near me, I threw my spear, which struck him at the place of his genitals and came out from behind his buttocks. This is the story of the spear throw by which Sayyiduna Hamza was martyred. Then, when everyone returned, I also returned with them and started living in Mecca. When Islam spread in Mecca, I left Mecca. The people of Ta’if sent some envoys to the Messenger of Allah and said to me, 'The Prophet does not harm envoys; you go with them.' I went with the envoys and presented myself before the Prophet. He said, 'Are you Wahshi?' I replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'Did you kill Hamza?' I replied, 'Whatever news has reached you, that is the incident.' He said, 'Is it possible for you not to show me your face?' So I left from there. After the Prophet’s demise, when Musaylimah the Liar rebelled, I said, 'I will confront Musaylimah the Liar so that if I kill him, perhaps the debt of Sayyiduna Hamza’s martyrdom will be repaid.' So I went out with the people. Meanwhile, the incident of Musaylimah happened as it was destined—Muslims were victorious and Musaylimah was killed. Sayyiduna Wahshi says, 'I saw Musaylimah standing in a gap in the wall. At that time, Musaylimah’s complexion appeared somewhat ashen and his hair was completely disheveled. I threw the same spear at him as I had used on Sayyiduna Hamza, which struck him between the shoulders and passed through. Meanwhile, another Ansari man attacked and struck Musaylimah on the head with his sword and killed him.'"
Hadith 16078
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ وَحْشِيِّ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّا نَأْكُلُ وَمَا نَشْبَعُ ! قَالَ : " فَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ مُفْتَرِقِينَ ، اجْتَمِعُوا عَلَى طَعَامِكُمْ ، وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ ، يُبَارَكْ لَكُمْ فِيهِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wahshi bin Harb that a person submitted in the court of the Messenger: "We eat food but do not feel satisfied." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Perhaps you eat separately. Eat together and mention the name of Allah when you eat, there will be blessing in it."
