أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، أَحَدُ بَنِي حَارِثَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: خَرَجَ مَرْحَبٌ الْيَهُودِيُّ مِنْ حِصْنِ خَيْبَرَ وَقَدْ جَمَعَ سِلَاحَهُ وَهُوَ يَرْتَجِزُ وَيَقُولُ: مَنْ يُبَارِزُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ لِهَذَا؟ " فَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ: أَنَا لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَنَا وَاللهِ الْمَوْتُورُ الثَّائِرُ، قَتَلُوا أَخِي بِالْأَمْسِ. قَالَ: " قُمْ إِلَيْهِ، اللهُمَّ أَعِنْهُ عَلَيْهِ ". فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي كَيْفِيَّةِ قِتَالِهِمَا، قَالَ: وَضَرَبَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ حَتَّى قَتَلَهُ. قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ: خَرَجَ يَاسِرٌ فَبَرَزَ لَهُ الزُّبَيْرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَتْ صَفِيَّةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا لَمَّا خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ الزُّبَيْرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ يَقْتُلُ ابْنِي. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " بَلِ ابْنُكِ يَقْتُلُهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ ". فَخَرَجَ الزُّبَيْرُ وَهُوَ يَرْتَجِزُ، ثُمَّ الْتَقَيَا فَقَتَلَهُ الزُّبَيْرُ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ ذَكَرَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ هُوَ قَتَلَ يَاسِرًا كَذَا فِي هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةِ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ هُوَ قَتَلَ مَرْحَبًا.
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Marhab the Jew came out of the fortress of Khaybar, fully armed and reciting war verses, saying: Who will fight me? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who will face this man?" Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I will send him to his death, for he killed my brother yesterday. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Stand up," and prayed: 'Allahumma a'inhu' (O Allah, help him). He mentioned in the hadith how the two of them fought, and said that Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) killed him. Ibn Ishaq said: Then Yasir came out, and Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) faced him. When Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) went out, Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah, he will kill my son! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rather, your son will kill him, if Allah wills." Then Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) went out reciting war verses; the two met, and Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) killed him. The narrator said: In this way he mentioned that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) killed Yasir and that Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) killed Marhab.
