Shahih Bukhari - 3875

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Maslamah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hatim bin Isma'il] dari [Yazid bin Abu 'Ubaid] dari [Salamah bin Al Akwa' radliallahu 'anhu] ia berkata; "Kami mengadakan perjalanan malam bersama Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menuju Khaibar, lalu seorang laki-laki dari rombongan berkata kepada 'Amir; "Wahai 'Amir, apakah tidak sebaiknya engkau perdengarkan kepada kami bait-bait sya'irmu?" -'Amir adalah seorang ahli penyair- Maka dia mulai melantunkan sya'ir kepada rombongan itu. Katanya; "Ya Alah, kalau nukan karena Engkau, tentu kami tidak akan mendapat petunjuk. Kami tidak akan bershadaqah dan juga tidak akan shalat. Berilah ampunan sebagai tebusan untuk-Mu atas apa yang telah kami lalaikan. Teguhkan kaki-kaki kami bila bertemu musuh. Berikanlah ketenangan atas kami. Sesungguhnya jika diserukan kepada kami, niscaya kami enggan mengikutinya Namun dengan seruan itu mereka datang kepada kami." Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bertanya: "Siapakah yang sedang bersenandung itu?. Mereka menjawab; "'Amir bin Al Akwa'." Beliau bersabda: "Semoga Alah merahmatinya". Tiba-tiba seorang laki-laki berkata; "Sudah semestinya wahai Nabiyullah. (Bagaimana jadinya) sekiranya engkau tidak menyenangkan kami dengannya." Lalu kami mengepung Khaibar, hingga kami ditimpa rasa lapar yang sangat. Kemudian Allah Ta'ala menaklukannya. Di sore harinya, yaitu di hari (pertama) Khaibar ditaklukkan, orang-orang menyalakan api, melihat itu Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bertanya: "Apakah api-apai itu. Untuk apa dinyalakan?". Mereka menjawab; "Untuk memasak daging." Beliau bertanya: "Daging apa?". Mereka menjawab; "Daging keledai jinak." Maka Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Tumpahkan dan pecahkanlah (periuk-periuknya)." Seorang laki-laki bertanya; "Wahai Rasulullah, tidakkah kita menumpahkannya lalu mencucinya?." Beliau bersabda: "Atau seperti itu". Ketika rombongan pasukan sudah saling berhadapan, saat itu 'Amir membawa pedangnya yang pendek, lalu dia mengayunkannya untuk menebas betis kaki seorang Yahudi. Namun pedangnya berbalik mengenai kakinya dan tepat melukai mata kaki 'Amir hingga menyebabkan dia gugur." Salamah berkata; "Ketika mereka kembali, Salamah berkata; "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam melihatku lalu memegang tanganku seraya berkata; "Ada apa denganmu?." Aku berkata kepada beliau; "Demi bapak ibuku sebagai tebusan tuan. Orang-orang menganggap bahwa 'Amir telah melakukan amalan yang sia-sia." Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bertanya: "Mereka berdusta. Siapa yang mengatakannya? Sesungguhnya dia mendapatkan dua pahala." -Beliau mengumpulkan dua jarinya- "Sungguh dia seorang mujahid yang telah berjuang dengan gigih. Sedikit sekali orang Arab yang dapat melakukan seperti yang dia lakukan." Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Qutaibah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hatim] ia berkata; (Dalam riwayat lain menggunakan kalimat) nasya'a bihaa, artinya mencontohkannya. (HR. Bukhari: 3875)

Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa: We went out to Khaibar in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ). While we were proceeding at night, a man from the group said to ʿAmir, "O ʿAmir! Won't you let us hear your poetry?" ʿAmir was a poet, so he got down and started reciting for the people poetry that kept pace with the camels' footsteps, saying:-- "O Allah! Without You we Would not have been guided On the right path Neither would be have given In charity, nor would We have prayed. So please forgive us, what we have committed (i.e. our defects); let all of us Be sacrificed for Your Cause And send Sakina (i.e. calmness) Upon us to make our feet firm When we meet our enemy, and If they will call us towards An unjust thing, We will refuse. The infidels have made a hue and Cry to ask others' help Against us." The Prophet (ﷺ) on that, asked, "Who is that (camel) driver (reciting poetry)?" The people said, "He is ʿAmir bin Al-Akwa'." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on him." A man amongst the people said, "O Allah's Prophet! has (martyrdom) been granted to him. Would that you let us enjoy his company longer." Then we reached and besieged Khaibar till we were afflicted with severe hunger. Then Allah helped the Muslims conquer it (i.e. Khaibar). In the evening of the day of the conquest of the city, the Muslims made huge fires. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What are these fires? For cooking what, are you making the fire?" The people replied, "(For cooking) meat." He asked, "What kind of meat?" They (i.e. people) said, "The meat of donkeys." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Throw away the meat and break the pots!" Some man said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we throw away the meat and wash the pots instead?" He said, "(Yes, you can do) that too." So when the army files were arranged in rows (for the clash), ʿAmir's sword was short and he aimed at the leg of a Jew to strike it, but the sharp blade of the sword returned to him and injured his own knee, and that caused him to die. When they returned from the battle, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw me (in a sad mood). He took my hand and said, "What is bothering you?" I replied, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you! The people say that the deeds of ʿAmir are lost." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever says so, is mistaken, for ʿAmir has got a double reward." The Prophet raised two fingers and added, "He (i.e. Amir) was a persevering struggler in the Cause of Allah and there are few 'Arabs who achieved the like of (good deeds) ʿAmir had done."
