Hadith of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (RA)

حديث أبي موسى الأشعري

Hadith 788:83

Ali ibn Abdullah narrated to us, Al-Walid ibn Muslim narrated to us, Yahya ibn Abd al-Aziz al-Urduni narrated to us, from Abdullah ibn Nu'aym al-Qayni, who said: Al-Dahhak ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Arzab al-Ash'ari narrated to me, that Abu Musa narrated to them, saying: When Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, defeated Hawazin at Hunayn, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) appointed Abu Amir al-Ash'ari as commander over the pursuit cavalry. He pursued them, and I was among those who pursued them. His horse sped up with him, and he caught up with Ibn Durayd ibn al-Simmah. He killed Abu Amir and took the banner. I charged at Ibn Durayd and killed him, then I took the banner and returned with the people. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw me carrying the banner, he said: "O Abu Musa, has Abu Amir been killed?" I said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) raise his hands, saying: "O Allah, Your servant, Your servant Abu Amir, make him among the most numerous on the Day of Resurrection."

حدثنا علي بن عبد الله، حدثنا الوليد بن مسلم، حدثنا يحيى بن عبد العزيز الأردني، عن عبد الله بن نعيم القيني قال: حدثني الضحاك بن عبد الرحمن بن عرزب الأشعري، أن أبا موسى حدثهم قال: لما هزم الله عز وجل هوازن بحنين عقد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لأبي عامر الأشعري على خيل الطلب، فطلب، فكنت فيمن طلبهم، فأسرع به فرسه فأدرك ابن دريد بن الصمة فقتل أبا عامر وأخذ اللواء. وشددت على ابن دريد فقتلته، وأخذت اللواء وانصرفت بالناس، فلما رآني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أحمل اللواء قال: " يا أبا موسى قتل أبو عامر؟ " قال: قلت: نعم. يا رسول الله. قال: فرأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رفع يديه يقول: " اللهم عبيدك عبيدا أبا عامر اجعله من الأكثرين يوم القيامة " . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
