Bayhaqi 18344 — Single combat

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ رُومَانَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَحَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، وَعَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَغَيْرُهُمْ مِنْ عُلَمَائِنَا، فَذَكَرُوا قِصَّةَ بَدْرٍ وَفِيهَا: ثُمَّ خَرَجَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ وَشَيْبَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ وَالْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ فَدَعَوْا إِلَى الْبِرَازِ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ فِتْيَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ثَلَاثَةٌ، فَقَالُوا: مِمَّنْ أَنْتُمْ؟ قَالُوا: رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ. قَالُوا: مَا بِنَا إِلَيْكُمْ حَاجَةٌ. ثُمَّ نَادَى مُنَادِيهِمْ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَخْرِجْ إِلَيْنَا أَكْفَاءَنَا مِنْ قَوْمِنَا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " قُمْ يَا حَمْزَةُ، قُمْ يَا عَلِيُّ، قُمْ يَا عُبَيْدَةُ ". فَلَمَّا قَامُوا وَدَنَوْا مِنْهُمْ قَالُوا: مِمَّنْ أَنْتُمْ؟ قَالَ حَمْزَةُ: أَنَا حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: أَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَقَالَ عُبَيْدَةُ: أَنَا عُبَيْدَةُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ. فَقَالُوا: نَعَمْ أَكْفَاءٌ كِرَامٌ، فَبَارَزَ عُبَيْدَةُ عُتْبَةَ فَاخْتَلَفَا ضَرْبَتَيْنِ كِلَاهُمَا أَثْبَتَ صَاحِبَهُ، وَبَارَزَ حَمْزَةُ شَيْبَةَ فَقَتَلَهُ مَكَانَهُ، وَبَارَزَ عَلِيٌّ الْوَلِيدَ فَقَتَلَهُ مَكَانَهُ، ثُمَّ كَرَّا عَلَى عُتْبَةَ فَذَفَفَا عَلَيْهِ وَاحْتَمَلَا صَاحِبَهُمَا فَحَازُوهُ إِلَى الرَّحْلِ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَبَارَزَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ مَرْحَبًا يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ بِأَمْرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَبَارَزَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَاسِرًا.
Abdullah bin Abi Bakr and others besides him mention the story of Badr, and in it is that Utbah bin Rabi'ah, Shaybah bin Rabi'ah and al-Walid bin Utbah came out and called for single combat, and three young men of the Ansar came out to face them. They asked: Who are you? They said: People of the Ansar. They said: We have no need of you. Then their caller called out: O Muhammad, bring out to us our equals from our own people! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Hamzah, Ali and Ubaydah, stand up." When they drew near them, they asked: Who are you? Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I am Hamzah bin Abd al-Muttalib. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I am Ali bin Abi Talib. Ubaydah said: I am Ubaydah bin al-Harith. They said: Noble equals. Sayyiduna Ubaydah fought Utbah; they exchanged two blows, and each of them gravely wounded the other. Sayyiduna Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him) fought Shaybah and killed him on the spot, and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) fought al-Walid and killed him too. Then the two of them turned on Utbah and finished him off, and carried their companion to the tent.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) fought Marhab in single combat on the day of Khaybar by the order of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) fought Yasir.
