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 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."'
