Hadith 108:94

Ja'far ibn Mihran narrated to us, he said: 'Abd al-A'la narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from 'Abdullah ibn Sahl Abu Layla, from Jabir ibn 'Abdullah, who said: Marhab ibn al-Harith the Jew came out, and he was saying: "Khaybar has known that I am Marhab, fully armed, a tested hero. I thrust at times, and at times I strike, when the lions approach, blazing, and recoil from the assault of the experienced one. My protection is a sanctuary that is not approached. Is there any challenger?" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Who is for this one?" Muhammad ibn Maslamah said: "I am, O Messenger of Allah. I am, by Allah, the one whose blood has been shed and who seeks vengeance; they killed my brother yesterday." He said: "Rise to him. O Allah, help him." When each of them drew near to the other, a tree appeared between them. One of them began to take refuge behind it from the other. Every time he took refuge behind it from him, he would cut off with his sword whatever was in front of it, until I saw it, and it was like a standing man, until each of them reached the other. Marhab charged at him and struck him, but he (Muhammad) warded it off with his shield. His sword fell into it and became stuck, and the shield bit into it and held it. Then Muhammad ibn Maslamah struck him and killed him.

حدثنا جعفر بن مهران قال حدثنا عبد الأعلى عن محمد بن إسحاق عن عبد الله بن سهل أبي ليلى عن جابر بن عبد الله قال * خرج مرحب بن الحارث اليهودي وهو يقول قد علمت خيبر أني مرحب شاكي السلاح بطل مجرب أطعن أحيانا وحينا أضرب إذا الليوث أقبلت تلهب وأحجمت عن صولة المجرب كان حماي الحمى لا يقرب هل من مبارز فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من لهذا قال محمد بن مسلمة أنا يا رسول الله أنا والله الموتور الثائر قتلوا أخي بالأمس فقال قم إليه اللهم أعنه فلما دنا أحدهما من صاحبه عرضت بينهما شجرة فطفق أحدهما يلوذ بها من صاحبه فكلما لاذ بها منه اقتطع بسيفه مادونه حتى رأيتها وإنها كالرجل القائم حتى خلص كل واحد منهما إلى صاحبه فشد عليه مرحب فضربه واتقاه بالدرقة فوقع سيفه فيها فنشب وعضت له الدرقة فأمسكته فضربه محمد بن مسلمة فقتله
