Shahih Muslim - 3295

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Yahya At Tamimi] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Husyaim] dari [Yahya bin Sa'id] dari [Umar bin Katsir bin Aflah] dari [Abu Muhammad Al Anshari] -murid Abu Qatadah- ia berkata berkata; [Abu Qatadah] berkata; lalu ia menceritakan hadits." Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Qutaibah bin Sa'id] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Laits] dari [Yahya bin Sa'id] dari [Umar bin Katsir] dari [Abu Muhammad] bekas budak Abu Qatadah, bahwa [Abu Qatadah] berkata; lalu ia menyebutkan hadits tersebut." Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami." Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu At Thahir] dan [Harmalah] sedangkan redaksi lafadz haditsnya dari dia, telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Wahb] dia berkata; aku mendengar [Malik bin Anas] berkata; telah menceritakan kepadaku [Yahya bin Sa'id] dari [Umar bin katsir bin Aflah] dari [Abu Muhammad] bekas budak Abu Qatadah, dari [Abu Qatadah] dia berkata, "Kami pernah pergi berperang bersama Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dalam pertempuran Hunain, tatkala kami berhadapan dengan musuh, maka sebagian kaum Muslimin mundur. Aku melihat seorang laki-laki Musyrik sedang menguasai seorang Muslim, aku langsung berbalik sehingga aku dapat mendatanginya dari arah belakang. Kemudian aku penggal batang lehernya, akan tetapi seorang Musyrik tersebut berbalik kepadaku dan merangkulku dengan kuat, aku tahu kalau dia hampir mati, setelah dia tewas, baru aku dilepaskan. Setelah itu aku bertemu dengan Umar bin Khattab, dia bertanya kepadaku, "Bagaimana kondisi pasukan?" aku menjawab, "Itu urusan Allah." Kemudian orang-orang kembali, sementara Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam duduk seraya bersabda: "Barangsiapa dapat membunuh seorang musuh, sedangkan dia memiliki seorang saksi, maka segenap perlengkapan si terbunuh boleh dimilikinya." Aku langsung berdiri dan berkata, "Siapa yang mau menjadi saksiku?" kemudian aku duduk kembali, dan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam kembali bersabda seperti tadi. Lalu aku berdiri lagi sambil berkata, "Siapa yang mau menjadi saksi bagiku?" kemudian aku duduk kembali, dan beliau bersabda seperti itu untuk ketiga kalinya, maka aku pun berdiri kembali. Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam lalu bertanya kepadaku: "Apa apa denganmu wahai Abu Qatadah?" lalu aku ceritakan kisah bagaimana aku telah membunuhh seorang musuh. Seorang anggota pasukan lantas angkat bicara, 'Abu Qatadah benar wahai Rasulullah! sedangkan perlengkapan orang yang dibunuhnya berada di tanganku, oleh karena itu suruhlah dia merelakan haknya untukku'. Abu Bakar berkata, "Jangan, demi Allah, tidaklah singa dari singa-singa Allah yang berjuang membela-Nya dan rasul-Nya, lalu harta rampasannya diberikan kepamu." Maka Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Hal itu benar, oleh karena itu, berikanlah kepada Abu Qatadah apa telah yang menjadi haknya." Kemudian baju besinya aku jual, lalu aku belikan sebidang kebun di perkebunan Bani Salamah. Itulah harta yang aku peroleh di awal-awal Islamku." Dan dalam hadits Laits disebutkan; Abu Bakar berkata, "Sekali-kali tidak, (Allah) tidak memberikannya dengan maksud menyepelekan orang quraiys dan meninggalkan hak-hak singa dari singa-singa Allah." Dan dalam hadits Al Laits disebutkan, 'harta pertama yang aku dapatkan dalam Islam'." (HR. Muslim: 3295)

Abu Muammad al-Ansari, who was the close companion of Abu Qatada. narrated the hadith (which follows). Abu Muhammad, the freed slave of Abu Qatada reported on the authority of Abu Qatda and narrated the hadith. Abu Qatada reported: We accompanied the Messenger of Allah (my peace be upon him) on an expedition in the year of the Battle of Hunain. When we encountered the enemy, (some of the Muslims turned back (in fear). I saw that a man from the polytheists overpowered one of the Muslims. I turned round and attacked him from behind giving a blow between his neck and shoulder. He turned towards me and grappled with me in such a way that I began to see death staring me in the face. Then death overtook him and left me alone. I joined 'Umar b. al-Khattab who was saying: What has happened to the people (that they are retreating)? I said: It is the Decree of Allah. Then the people returned. (The battle ended in a victory for the Muslims) and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) sat down (to distribute the spoils of war). He said: One who has killed an enemy and can bring evidence to prove it will get his belongings. So I stood up and said: Who will give evidence for me? Then I sat down. Then he (the Holy Prophet) said like this. I stood up (again) and said: Who will bear witness for me? He (the Holy Prophet) made the same observation the third time, and I stood up (once again). Now the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: What has happened to you, O Abu Qatada? Then I related the (whole) story, to him. At this, one of the people said: He has told the truth. Messenger of Allah 1 The belongings of the enemy killed by him are with me. Persuade him to forgo his right (in my favour). (Objecting to this proposal) Abu Bakr said: BY Allah, this will not happen. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) will not like to deprive one of the lions from among the lions of Allah who fight in the cause of Allah and His Messenger and give thee his share of the booty. So the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) said: He (Abu Bakr) has told the truth, and so give the belongings to him (Abu Qatada). So he gave them to me. I sold the armour (which was a part of my share of the booty) and bought with the sale proceeds a garden in the street of Banu Salama. This was the first property I acquired after embracing Islam. In a version of the hadith narrated by Laith, the words uttered by Abu Bakr are:" No, never! He will not give it to a fox from the Quraish leaving aside a lion from the lions of Allah among...." And the hadith is closed with the words:" The first property I acquired." (Muslim: 3295)
