أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي وَالِدِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَشْيَاخٍ مِنْ بَنِي سَلَمَةَ، قَالُوا كَانَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْجَمُوحِ أَعْرَجَ شَدِيدَ الْعَرَجِ، وَكَانَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ بَنِينَ شَبَابٌ يَغْزُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا غَزَا، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَى أُحُدٍ، قَالَ لَهُ بَنُوهُ: إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ جَعَلَ لَكَ رُخْصَةً فَلَوْ قَعَدْتَ فَنَحْنُ نَكْفِيكَ فَقَدْ وَضَعَ اللهُ عَنْكَ الْجِهَادَ. فَأَتَى عَمْرُو بْنُ الْجَمُوحِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ بَنِيَّ هَؤُلَاءِ يَمْنَعُونَ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مَعَكَ، وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ أُسْتَشْهَدَ فَأَطَأَ بِعَرْجَتِي هَذِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ وَضَعَ اللهُ عَنْكَ الْجِهَادَ ". وَقَالَ لِبَنِيهِ: " وَمَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَدَعُوهُ لَعَلَّ اللهَ يَرْزُقُهُ الشَّهَادَةَ ". فَخَرَجَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ شَهِيدًا.
Some elders of Banu Salamah said: Sayyiduna Amr bin al-Jamuh (may Allah be pleased with him) was severely lame. He had four young sons who would be with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in every campaign he went on. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to set out for Uhud, Sayyiduna Amr bin al-Jamuh (may Allah be pleased with him) also wished to go, but his sons said to him: Allah Almighty has given you a concession; it is better for you to stay here, and we will suffice in your place; Allah has not made jihad obligatory on you. So Sayyiduna Amr bin al-Jamuh (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, my sons are preventing me from going with you (peace and blessings be upon him). By Allah, I hope to be martyred and to walk in Paradise with this lameness of mine. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah has exempted you from jihad." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his sons: "Why do you not let him go? Perhaps Allah Almighty will grant him martyrdom." He went out with him (peace and blessings be upon him) and was martyred on the day of Uhud.
