It was narrated from Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Whoever equips a warrior in the cause of Allah, has participated in the battle, and whoever looks after his family has participated in the battle."

وحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، وَأَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ، قَالَ أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، وقَالَ سَعِيدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ جَهَّزَ غَازِيًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ، فَقَدْ غَزَا ، وَمَنْ خَلَفَهُ فِي أَهْلِهِ بِخَيْرٍ ، فَقَدْ غَزَا.

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sent a troop to Banu Lihyan, from Hudhail, and said: "Let one man out of every two join the expedition, and the reward will be shared between them both."

وحَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ، مَوْلَى الْمَهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ بَعْثًا إِلَى بَنِي لَحْيَانَ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ ، فَقَالَ : لِيَنْبَعِثْ مِنْ كُلِّ رَجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا ، وَالأَجْرُ بَيْنَهُمَا.

It was narrated from Yazid bin Abi Sa'eed, the freed slave of Al-Mahri, from his father, from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri, that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sent a troop to Banu Lihyan and said: "Let one man out of every two go out," then he said to those who stayed behind: "Whichever of you stays behind and looks after the family and property of the one who goes out, will have half of the reward of the one who goes out."

وحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى الْمَهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ إِلَى بَنِي لَحْيَانَ لِيَخْرُجْ مِنْ كُلِّ رَجُلَيْنِ رَجُلٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْقَاعِدِ أَيُّكُمْ خَلَفَ الْخَارِجَ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ بِخَيْرٍ كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ نِصْفِ أَجْرِ الْخَارِجِ.

It was narrated from Sulaiman bin Buraidah that his father said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'The sanctity of the wives of the Mujahidin for those who stay behind is like the sanctity of their own mothers. There is no man among those who stay behind who looks after the family of one of the Mujahidin and then betrays him with regard to them, but he will be made to stand on the Day of Resurrection, and he (the Mujahid) will take as much of his good deeds as he wishes; so what do you think?'"

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حُرْمَةُ نِسَاءِ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَى الْقَاعِدِينَ كَحُرْمَةِ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ وَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْقَاعِدِينَ يَخْلُفُ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ فِي أَهْلِهِ فَيَخُونُهُ فِيهِمْ إِلَّا وُقِفَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَأْخُذُ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ مَا شَاءَ فَمَا ظَنُّكُمْ ؟.

It was narrated from Abu Ishaq that he heard Al-Bara' say concerning the Verse: "Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame), and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah." The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) ordered Zaid to bring a shoulder blade and he wrote it down. Ibn Umm Maktum complained to him about his being blind, and it was revealed: "Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame), and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah. Shu'bah said: "Sa'd bin Ibrahim told me, from a man, from Zaid bin Thabit, concerning this Verse: 'Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home)...;' a Hadith like that of Al-Bara'. And Ibn Bash-shar said in his report: "Sa'd bin Ibrahim, from his father, from a man, from Zaid bin Thabit."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الْبَرَاءَ يَقُولُا فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ{ لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ }وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَيْدًا فَجَاءَ بِكَتِفٍ يَكْتُبُهَا فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ ضَرَارَتَهُ فَنَزَلَتْ{ لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ } قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَأَخْبَرَنِي سَعْدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ{ لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ }بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ الْبَرَاءِ و قَالَ ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ سَعْدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ.

It was narrated that Al-Bara' said: "A man from Banu Al-Nabit- a tribe of the Ansar - came and said: 'I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allah and that you are His slave and Messenger.' Then he went forth and fought until he was killed. The Prophet (s.a.w) said: 'His good deeds were few, but his reward is great."'

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّاءَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي النَّبِيتِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ح و حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَنَابٍ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُونُسَ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّاءَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي النَّبِيتِ قَبِيلٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّكَ عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَمِلَ هَذَا يَسِيرًا وَأُجِرَ كَثِيرًا.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sent Busaisah as a scout to see what had happened to the caravan of Abu Sufyan. Then he came, and there was no one in the house except myself and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)." - He (one of the narrators) said: "I do not know if he mentioned one of his wives too" - "He told him the news, and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) went out and spoke to the people. He said: 'We have something to pursue. Whoever has his mount ready, let him ride with us.' Some men started to ask him for permission to go and bring their mounts from the high ground of Al-Madinah, and he said: 'No, only those whose mounts are ready.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and his Companions set out, and they reached Badr before the idolaters. "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'None of you should go ahead to do anything unless I am ahead of him.' The idolaters drew close and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Get up to Paradise, as wide as the heavens and the earth.' 'Umair bin Al-Humam Al-Ansari said: 'O Messenger of Allah, Paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Good, good.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'What makes you say: "Good, good?" He said: 'Nothing, O Messenger of Allah, except the hope that I will be one of its people.' He said: 'You will be one of its people.' He took some dates out of his bag and started eating them, then he said: 'If I live until I finish eating these dates of mine, that will be a long life.' So he threw aside the dates he had, then he fought them until he was killed.''

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّضْرِ وَهَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ وَأَلْفَاظُهُمْ مُتَقَارِبَةٌ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بُسَيْسَةَ عَيْنًا يَنْظُرُ مَا صَنَعَتْ عِيرُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَجَاءَ وَمَا فِي الْبَيْتِ أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي وَغَيْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي مَا اسْتَثْنَى بَعْضَ نِسَائِهِ قَالَ فَحَدَّثَهُ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَكَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لَنَا طَلِبَةً فَمَنْ كَانَ ظَهْرُهُ حَاضِرًا فَلْيَرْكَبْ مَعَنَا فَجَعَلَ رِجَالٌ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَهُ فِي ظُهْرَانِهِمْ فِي عُلْوِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ لَا إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ ظَهْرُهُ حَاضِرًا فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ حَتَّى سَبَقُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِلَى بَدْرٍ وَجَاءَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يُقَدِّمَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ إِلَى شَيْءٍ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا دُونَهُ فَدَنَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُومُوا إِلَى جَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ قَالَ يَقُولُ عُمَيْرُ بْنُ الْحُمَامِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ جَنَّةٌ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ بَخٍ بَخٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا يَحْمِلُكَ عَلَى قَوْلِكَ بَخٍ بَخٍ قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا رَجَاءَةَ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا فَأَخْرَجَ تَمَرَاتٍ مِنْ قَرَنِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُنَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَئِنْ أَنَا حَيِيتُ حَتَّى آكُلَ تَمَرَاتِي هَذِهِ إِنَّهَا لَحَيَاةٌ طَوِيلَةٌ قَالَ فَرَمَى بِمَا كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنْ التَّمْرِ ثُمَّ قَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى قُتِلَ.

It was narrated from Abu Bakr bin 'Abdullah bin Qais, from his father: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'The gates of Paradise are beneath the shadows of the swords.' An unkempt man stood up and said: 'O Abu Musa, did you hear the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say this?' He said: 'Yes.' He went back to his Companions and said: 'I greet you with peace.' Then he broke the scabbard of his sword and threw it aside, then he walked towards the enemy with his sword and fought with it until he was killed.''

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَى قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا و قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي وَهُوَ بِحَضْرَةِ الْعَدُوِّ يَقُولُا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّةِ تَحْتَ ظِلَالِ السُّيُوفِ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ رَثُّ الْهَيْئَةِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى آنْتَ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ هَذَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمْ السَّلَامَ ثُمَّ كَسَرَ جَفْنَ سَيْفِهِ فَأَلْقَاهُ ثُمَّ مَشَى بِسَيْفِهِ إِلَى الْعَدُوِّ فَضَرَبَ بِهِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "Some people came to the Prophet (s.a.w) and said: 'Send some men with us to teach us the Qur'an and Sunnah.' He sent to them seventy men of the Ansar who were called Al-Qurra', among whom was my maternal uncle Haram. They used to recite Qur'an and study at night and learn, and during the day, they used to bring water to the Masjid and gather firewood and sell it, in order to buy food for Ahl As-Suffah and the poor. The Prophet (s.a.w) sent them to them, and they fell upon them and killed them before they reached that place. They said: 'O Allah, convey from us to our Prophet that we met You when we were pleased with You and You were pleased with us."' A man came to Haram, the maternal uncle of Anas, from behind and stabbed him with a spear that ran him through. Haram said: "I have succeeded, by the Lord of the Ka'bah!" The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said to his Companions: "Your brothers have been killed, and they said: 'O Allah, convey from us to our Prophet that we met You when we were pleased with You and You were pleased with us."'

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ جَاءَ نَاسٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا أَنْ ابْعَثْ مَعَنَا رِجَالًا يُعَلِّمُونَا الْقُرْآنَ وَالسُّنَّةَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُمْ الْقُرَّاءُ فِيهِمْ خَالِي حَرَامٌ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَتَدَارَسُونَ بِاللَّيْلِ يَتَعَلَّمُونَ وَكَانُوا بِالنَّهَارِ يَجِيئُونَ بِالْمَاءِ فَيَضَعُونَهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَيَحْتَطِبُونَ فَيَبِيعُونَهُ وَيَشْتَرُونَ بِهِ الطَّعَامَ لِأَهْلِ الصُّفَّةِ وَلِلْفُقَرَاءِ فَبَعَثَهُمْ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَعَرَضُوا لَهُمْ فَقَتَلُوهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْلُغُوا الْمَكَانَ فَقَالُوا اللَّهُمَّ بَلِّغْ عَنَّا نَبِيَّنَا أَنَّا قَدْ لَقِينَاكَ فَرَضِينَا عَنْكَ وَرَضِيتَ عَنَّا قَالَ وَأَتَى رَجُلٌ حَرَامًا خَالَ أَنَسٍ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ فَطَعَنَهُ بِرُمْحٍ حَتَّى أَنْفَذَهُ فَقَالَ حَرَامٌ فُزْتُ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ إِنَّ إِخْوَانَكُمْ قَدْ قُتِلُوا وَإِنَّهُمْ قَالُوا اللَّهُمَّ بَلِّغْ عَنَّا نَبِيَّنَا أَنَّا قَدْ لَقِينَاكَ فَرَضِينَا عَنْكَ وَرَضِيتَ عَنَّا.

It was narrated that Thabit said: "Anas said: 'My paternal uncle after whom I was named was not present with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) at (the battle of) Badr, and he was upset about that. He said: "I have missed the first battle where the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was present, but if Allah gives me the opportunity to be at any other battle with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). Allah, exalted is He, will see what I will do." He was afraid to say more than that. He was present with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) on the day of (the battle of) Uhud. He met Sa'd bin Mu'adh, and Anas said to him: "O Abu 'Amr, where are you going?" He said: "I smell the fragrance of Paradise beside Uhud." He fought them until he was killed, and eighty-odd wounds were counted on his body, inflicted with swords, spears and arrows. [Anas bin Malik] said: "His sister, my paternal aunt Ar-Rubayyi' bint An-Nadir, said: 'I could not recognize my brother except by his finger tips.' Then this Verse was revealed: 'Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah [i.e. they have gone out for Jihad, and showed not their backs to the disbelievers]; of them some have fulfilled their obligations (i.e. have been martyred); and some of them are still waiting, but they have never changed (i.e. they never proved treacherous to their covenant which they concluded with Allah) in the least.' And they thought that it had been revealed concerning him and his companions."

وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَنَسٌ : عَمِّيَ الَّذِي سُمِّيتُ بِهِ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَدْرًا ، قَالَ : فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِ ، قَالَ : أَوَّلُ مَشْهَدٍ شَهِدَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غُيِّبْتُ عَنْهُ ، وَإِنْ أَرَانِيَ اللَّهُ مَشْهَدًا فِيمَا بَعْدُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيَرَانِي اللَّهُ مَا أَصْنَعُ ، قَالَ : فَهَابَ أَنْ يَقُولَ غَيْرَهَا ، قَالَ : فَشَهِدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ، قَالَ : فَاسْتَقْبَلَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَنَسٌ : يَا أَبَا عَمْرٍو ، أَيْنَ ؟ فَقَالَ : وَاهًا لِرِيحِ الْجَنَّةِ أَجِدُهُ دُونَ أُحُدٍ ، قَالَ : فَقَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى قُتِلَ ، قَالَ : فَوُجِدَ فِي جَسَدِهِ بِضْعٌ وَثَمَانُونَ مِنْ بَيْنِ ضَرْبَةٍ وَطَعْنَةٍ وَرَمْيَةٍ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَتْ أُخْتُهُ ، عَمَّتِيَ الرُّبَيِّعُ بِنْتُ النَّضْرِ ، فَمَا عَرَفْتُ أَخِي إِلاَّ بِبَنَانِهِ ، وَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ : {رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلاً} ، قَالَ : فَكَانُوا يُرَوْنَ أَنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ وَفِي أَصْحَابِهِ.
