Bayhaqi 18015 — Permission to use it in case of necessity

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرٍ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ، أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ خَمِيرَوَيْهِ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ بَرَاءِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: " لَقِيتُ يَوْمَ مُسَيْلِمَةَ رَجُلًا يُقَالُ لَهُ حِمَارُ الْيَمَامَةِ، رَجُلًا جَسِيمًا بِيَدِهِ سَيْفٌ أَبْيَضُ، فَضَرَبْتُ رِجْلَيْهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا أَخْطَأَتْهُ فَانْقَعَرَ فَوَقَعَ عَلَى قَفَاهُ، فَأَخَذْتُ سَيْفَهُ وَأَغْمَدْتُ سَيْفِي، فَمَا ضَرَبْتُ بِهِ إِلَّا ضَرْبَةً حَتَّى انْقَطَعَ فَأَلْقَيْتُهُ وَأَخَذْتُ سَيْفِي ".
Sayyiduna Bara' bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: On the day of the battle against Musaylimah I met a powerful man who was called "the Donkey of Yamamah"; in his hand was a fine sword. I struck at his legs, and it was as if I had missed him, but his legs gave way and he fell on the back of his neck. I took hold of his sword and put my own sword in its sheath. I had struck only one blow with it when it broke, so I threw it away and took hold of my own sword.
