قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْقَوْمِ أَيْ عَامِرُ لَوْ أَسْمَعْتَنَا مِنْ هُنَيَّاتِكَ قَالَ فَنَزَلَ يَحْدُو بِهِمْ وَيَذْكُرُ تَالَلَّهِ لَوْلَا اللَّهُ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا وَذَكَرَ شِعْرًا غَيْرَ هَذَا وَلَكِنْ لَمْ أَحْفَظْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ هَذَا السَّائِقُ قَالُوا عَامِرُ بْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ فَقَالَ يَرْحَمُهُ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْقَوْمِ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ لَوْلَا مَتَّعْتَنَا بِهِ فَلَمَّا اصَّافَّ الْقَوْمُ قَاتَلُوهُمْ فَأُصِيبَ عَامِرُ بْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ بِقَائِمِ سَيْفِ نَفْسِهِ فَمَاتَ فَلَمَّا أَمْسَوْا أَوْقَدُوا نَارًا كَثِيرَةً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا هَذِهِ النَّارُ عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْءٍ تُوقَدُ قَالُوا عَلَى حُمُرٍ إِنْسِيَّةٍ قَالَ أَهْرِيقُوا مَا فِيهَا وَكَسِّرُوهَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَلَا نُهَرِيقُ مَا فِيهَا وَنَغْسِلُهَا قَالَ أَوْ ذَاكَ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
He said: Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from Yazid ibn Abi 'Ubayd, who said: Salamah ibn al-Akwa' narrated to us, who said: We went out with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to Khaybar. A man among the people said: "O 'Amir, will you not let us hear some of your verses?" So he got down and chanted for them, saying: "By Allah, were it not for Allah we would not have been guided..." and he mentioned other verse, but I did not memorize it. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Who is this chanter?" They said: "'Amir ibn al-Akwa'." He said: "May Allah have mercy on him." A man among the people said: "O Prophet of Allah, if only you had let us enjoy him longer." When the people lined up in battle formation, they fought, and 'Amir ibn al-Akwa' was struck by the pommel of his own sword and died. When evening came, they lit a great fire, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "What is this fire for?" They said: "For domestic donkeys." He said: "Pour out what is in them and break them." A man said: "Shall we not pour out what is in them and wash them?" He said: "Or that."
