حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بَرَّادٍ أَبُو عَامِرٍ الأَشْعَرِيُّ ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِي عَامِرٍ ، قَالاَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا فَرَغَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، مِنْ حُنَيْنٍ ، بَعَثَ أَبَا عَامِرٍ عَلَى جَيْشٍ إِلَى أَوْطَاسٍ ، فَلَقِيَ دُرَيْدَ بْنَ الصِّمَّةِ ، فَقُتِلَ دُرَيْدٌ وَهَزَمَ اللَّهُ أَصْحَابَهُ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى : وَبَعَثَنِي مَعَ أَبِي عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : فَرُمِيَ أَبُو عَامِرٍ فِي رُكْبَتِهِ ، رَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي جُشَمٍ بِسَهْمٍ ، فَأَثْبَتَهُ فِي رُكْبَتِهِ فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ : يَا عَمِّ مَنْ رَمَاكَ ؟ فَأَشَارَ أَبُو عَامِرٍ إِلَى أَبِي مُوسَى ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ ذَاكَ قَاتِلِي ، تَرَاهُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِي رَمَانِي ، قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى : فَقَصَدْتُ لَهُ فَاعْتَمَدْتُهُ فَلَحِقْتُهُ ، فَلَمَّا رَآنِي وَلَّى عَنِّي ذَاهِبًا ، فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ وَجَعَلْتُ أَقُولُ لَهُ : أَلاَ تَسْتَحْيِي ؟ أَلَسْتَ عَرَبِيًّا ؟ أَلاَ تَثْبُتُ ؟ فَكَفَّ ، فَالْتَقَيْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ ، فَاخْتَلَفْنَا أَنَا وَهُوَ ضَرْبَتَيْنِ ، فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَتَلْتُهُ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَامِرٍ فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ قَتَلَ صَاحِبَكَ ، قَالَ : فَانْزِعْ هَذَا السَّهْمَ ، فَنَزَعْتُهُ فَنَزَا مِنْهُ الْمَاءُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا ابْنَ أَخِي انْطَلِقْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلاَمَ ، وَقُلْ لَهُ : يَقُولُ لَكَ أَبُو عَامِرٍ : اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي. قَالَ : وَاسْتَعْمَلَنِي أَبُو عَامِرٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ ، وَمَكَثَ يَسِيرًا ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ مَاتَ ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتٍ عَلَى سَرِيرٍ مُرْمَلٍ ، وَعَلَيْهِ فِرَاشٌ ، وَقَدْ أَثَّرَ رِمَالُ السَّرِيرِ بِظَهْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَنْبَيْهِ ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِخَبَرِنَا وَخَبَرِ أَبِي عَامِرٍ ، وَقُلْتُ لَهُ : قَالَ : قُلْ لَهُ : يَسْتَغْفِرْ لِي ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَاءٍ ، فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِعُبَيْدٍ أَبِي عَامِرٍ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَوْقَ كَثِيرٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ ، أَوْ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَقُلْتُ : وَلِي ، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَاسْتَغْفِرْ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ذَنْبَهُ ، وَأَدْخِلْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُدْخَلاً كَرِيمًا. قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ : إِحَدَاهُمَا لأَبِي عَامِرٍ ، وَالأُخْرَى لأَبِي مُوسَى.

It was narrated from Abu Burdah that his father said: "When the Prophet (s.a.w) had finished with (the battle of) Hunain, he sent Abu 'Amir at the head of an army to Awtas, where he met Duraid bin As-Simmah, who was killed, and Allah caused his companions to be defeated. Abu Musa said: 'And he sent me with Abu 'Amir.' He said: 'Abu 'Amir was struck in the knee with an arrow by a man of Banu Jusham, and it was stuck in his knee. I came to him and said: "O uncle, who struck you?"' Abu 'Amir pointed him out to Abu Musa and said: "That one killed me, do you see the one who struck me?" Abu Musa said: "I went to him and caught up with him, and when he saw me, he ran away from me. I followed him and I started saying: 'Don't you feel ashamed? Aren't you an Arab? Won't you stand firm?' So he stopped, and we met and traded blows, then I struck him with the sword and killed him. Then I went back to Abu 'Amir and said: 'Allah has killed your opponent.' He said: 'Pull this arrow out.' So I pulled it out and water came out of it (the wound). He said: 'O son of my brother, go to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and convey greetings of Salam to him from me, and say to him: "Abu 'Amir says to you: 'Pray for forgiveness for me.'" "Abu 'Amir appointed me in charge of the people, then it was not long before he died. When I came back to the Prophet (s.a.w) ' I entered upon him when he was in a house on a bed made of rope without a mattress, and the ropes had left marks on the back and sides of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). I told him what had happened to us and to Abu 'Amir, and I said to him: 'He said: "Tell him to pray for forgiveness for me."' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) called for some water and he performed Wudu', then he raised his hands and said: 'O Allah, forgive 'Ubaid Abu 'Amir,' until I could see the whiteness of his armpits. Then he said: 'O Allah, on the Day of Resurrection make him above many of Your creation,' or; 'many of the people.' I said: 'And me, O Messenger of Allah! Pray for forgiveness for me!' The Prophet (s.a.w) said: 'O Allah, forgive 'Abdullah bin Qais for his sins, and admit him to a gate of great honor on the Day of Resurrection."' Abu Burdah said: "One of them was for Abu 'Amir and the other was for Abu Musa."
