ما حدَّثَناه أحمدُ بن كامل القاضي، حدثنا أحمد بن عُبيد الله النَّرْسي وعبد الملك بن محمد الرَّقَاشي، قالا: حدثنا رَوْح بن عُبادة القَيْسي، حدثنا عَوف بن أبي جَمِيلة، عن ميمون أبي عبد الله، عن عبد الله بن بُريدةَ [عن أبيه بُريدةَ] (2) الأسلَمِيّ: أنَّ رسول الله ﷺ لما نزل بحَضْرة أهل خيبر، قال رسول الله ﷺ: "لأُعْطِينّ اللواءَ غدًا رجلًا يُحِبُّ الله ورسُولَه ويُحِبُّه اللهُ ورسولُه"، فلما كانَ من الغَدِ تَطاوَلَ له جماعةٌ مِن أصحابه، فدَعَا عليًّا وهو أرمَدُ، فتَفَلَ في عَينَيهِ وأعطَاهُ اللِّواءَ، ونَهَضَ معه الناسُ، فَلَقُوا أهلَ خيبر، فإذا مَرحَبٌ بين أيديهم يَرتَجِزُ، وإذا هو يقول: قد عَلِمَتْ خَيبرُ أني مَرحَبُ … شاكُ (3) السلاحِ بَطَلٌ مُجَرَّبُ إذا السيوفُ أقبَلَتْ تَلهَبُ … أطعَنُ أحيانًا وحِينًا أضربُ فاختلفَ هو وعليٌّ بضَرْبتَين، فضربه عليٌّ على رأسِه حتى عَضَّ السّيفُ بأضراسِه، وسَمِعَ أهلُ العَسكَر صوتَ ضربتِه، فقتَلَه، فما تتامَّ آخرُ الناسِ حتى فُتِح لأوَّلِهم (1). هذا باب كبير قد خَرّجتُه في "الأبواب". ذكرُ مناقب سعيد بن زيد بن عَمْرو بن نُفَيل، عاشِرِ العَشَرة ﵁ -
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraydah al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was encamped before the people of Khaybar, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tomorrow I will give this banner to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him." When the next day came, a group of the Companions stretched their necks in hope of it. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) called Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), whose eyes were sore; he (peace and blessings be upon him) applied his saliva to his eyes and gave him the banner. The people advanced with him and came face to face with the people of Khaybar. There Marhab came out reciting rajaz verses, saying: "Khaybar knows that I am Marhab / fully armed, a seasoned hero; when swords come flashing like flames / I sometimes thrust with the spear and sometimes strike." Then he and Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) faced each other and exchanged two blows each. Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) struck him on the head such that the sword went down to his molars, and the people of the army heard the sound of that blow, and he killed him. The last of the people had not yet arrived when victory had already been granted to the first of them.
This is a great chapter, which I have presented in detail in "al-Abwab".

(2) سقط ذكر بريدة من نسخنا الخطية، وهو ثابت في رواية الحديث لدى جميع من خرَّجه، ورواه غير واحدٍ منهم عن روح بن عبادة نفسه، فذكره.
Note / Clarification: The mention of Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) has dropped from our manuscripts, while it is established in the narration of the hadith by all who recorded it; more than one of them narrated it from Rawh bin 'Ubadah himself and mentioned him.
(3) في النسخة المحمودية كما في طبعة الميمان: شاكي، وكلٌّ جائز، يقال: رجل شاكي السلاحِ، وشائك السلاح؛ وشاكُ السلاح؛ أي: حديد السلاح، أو تامّ السلاح كامل الاستعداد.
Note / Clarification: In the Mahmudiyyah manuscript, as in the al-Mayman edition: "shaki", and all are permissible. One says: "rajul shaki al-silah", "sha'ik al-silah" and "shak al-silah", meaning: sharp in weapons, or fully armed and completely prepared.
(1) حديث صحيح، وهذا إسناد ضعيف لضعف ميمون أبي عبد الله - وهو الكِنْدي البصري - لكنه متابع.
Grading: The hadith is sahih, while this chain is weak because of the weakness of Maymun Abu 'Abdullah (al-Kindi al-Basri), but he is corroborated.

ويشهد له بذكر قصة مرحبٍ وقتل عليٍّ إياه حديثُ سلمة بن الأكوع عند أحمد 27/ (16538)، ومسلم (1807)، وابن حبان (6935). وهو عند البخاري (2975) و (3702) و (4209) لكن مختصرًا بقصة دفع الراية إلى عليٍّ وفتح خيبر على يديه، دون قصة مرحبٍ وقتل عليٍّ إياه.

It is also in al-Bukhari (2975, 3702 and 4209), but abridged, with only the story of giving the banner to 'Ali and Khaybar being conquered at his hands, without the story of Marhab and his being killed by 'Ali.
