Chapter 48 · The Book of the Merits of the Companionsحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بَرَّادٍ أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي عَامِرٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: لَمَّا فَرَغَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مِنْ حُنَيْنٍ، بَعَثَ أَبَا عَامِرٍ عَلَى جَيْشٍ إِلَى أَوْطَاسٍ، فَلَقِيَ دُرَيْدَ بْنَ الصِّمَّةِ، فَقُتِلَ دُرَيْدٌ وَهَزَمَ اللهُ أَصْحَابَهُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى: وَبَعَثَنِي مَعَ أَبِي عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: فَرُمِيَ أَبُو عَامِرٍ فِي رُكْبَتِهِ، رَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي جُشَمٍ بِسَهْمٍ، فَأَثْبَتَهُ فِي رُكْبَتِهِ فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ: يَا عَمِّ مَنْ رَمَاكَ؟ فَأَشَارَ أَبُو عَامِرٍ إِلَى أَبِي مُوسَى، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ ذَاكَ قَاتِلِي، تَرَاهُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِي رَمَانِي، قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى: فَقَصَدْتُ لَهُ فَاعْتَمَدْتُهُ فَلَحِقْتُهُ، فَلَمَّا رَآنِي وَلَّى عَنِّي ذَاهِبًا، فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ وَجَعَلْتُ أَقُولُ لَهُ: أَلَا تَسْتَحْيِي؟ أَلَسْتَ عَرَبِيًّا؟ أَلَا تَثْبُتُ؟ فَكَفَّ، فَالْتَقَيْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ، فَاخْتَلَفْنَا أَنَا وَهُوَ ضَرْبَتَيْنِ، فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَتَلْتُهُ، ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَامِرٍ فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ قَتَلَ صَاحِبَكَ، قَالَ: فَانْزِعْ هَذَا السَّهْمَ، فَنَزَعْتُهُ فَنَزَا مِنْهُ الْمَاءُ، فَقَالَ: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي انْطَلِقْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ، وَقُلْ لَهُ: يَقُولُ لَكَ أَبُو عَامِرٍ: اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي، قَالَ: وَاسْتَعْمَلَنِي أَبُو عَامِرٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ، وَمَكَثَ يَسِيرًا ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ مَاتَ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ، وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتٍ عَلَى سَرِيرٍ مُرْمَلٍ، وَعَلَيْهِ فِرَاشٌ، وَقَدْ أَثَّرَ رِمَالُ السَّرِيرِ بِظَهْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَنْبَيْهِ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِخَبَرِنَا وَخَبَرِ أَبِي عَامِرٍ، وَقُلْتُ لَهُ: قَالَ: قُلْ لَهُ: يَسْتَغْفِرْ لِي، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَاءٍ، فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِعُبَيْدٍ أَبِي عَامِرٍ» حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَوْقَ كَثِيرٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوْ مِنَ النَّاسِ» فَقُلْتُ: وَلِي، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَاسْتَغْفِرْ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ذَنْبَهُ، وَأَدْخِلْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُدْخَلًا كَرِيمًا» قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ: إِحَدَاهُمَا لِأَبِي عَامِرٍ، وَالْأُخْرَى لِأَبِي مُوسَى.

When Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had been free from the Battle of Hunain, he sent Abu 'Amir as the head of the army of Autas. He had an encounter with Duraid bin as_Simma. Duraid was killed and Allah gave defeat to his friends. Abu Musa said: He (the Holy Prophet) sent me along with Abu 'Amir and Abu 'Amir رضی اللہ عنہ received a wound in his knee from the arrow, (shot by) a person of Bani Jusham. It stuck in his knee. I went to him and said: Uncle, who shot an arrow upon you? Abu 'Amir رضی اللہ عنہ pointed out to Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہ and said: Verily that one who shot an arrow upon me in fact killed me. Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہ said: I followed him with the determination to kill him and overtook him and when he saw me he turned upon his heels. I followed him and I said to him: Don't you feel ashamed (that you run), aren't you an Arab? Why don't you stop? He stopped and I had an encounter with him and we exchanged the strokes of (swords). I struck him with the sword and killed him. Then I came back to Abu Amir رضی اللہ عنہ and said: Verily Allah has killed the one who killed you. And he said: Now draw out this arrow. I drew out the arrow and there came out from that (wound) water. Abu 'Amir رضی اللہ عنہ said: My nephew, go to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and convey my greetings to him and tell him that Abu Amir رضی اللہ عنہ begs you to ask forgiveness for him. And Abu Amir appointed me as the chief of the people and he died after a short time. When I came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) I visited him and he had been lying on the cot woven by strings and there was (no) bed over it and so there had been marks of the strings on the back of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and on his sides. I narrated to him what had happened to us and narrated to him about Abu Amir and said to him that he had made a request to the effect that forgiveness should be sought for him (from Allah). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called for water and performed ablution with it. He then lifted his hands and said. O Allah, grant pardon to Thy servant Abu Amir. (The Prophet had raised his hands so high for supplication) that I saw the whiteness of his armpits. He again said: O Allah, grant him distinction amongst the majority of Thine created beings or from amongst the people. I said: Allah's Messenger, ask forgiveness for me too. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Allah, forgive the sins of Abdullah bin Qais (Abu Musa Ash'ari) and admit him to an elevated place on the Day of Resurrection. Abu Burda رضی اللہ عنہ said: One prayer is for abu 'Amir and the other is tor Abu Musa.
