Chapter on the Account of 'Awf ibn Malik Regarding the Slaughter of Camels

It was narrated to us by Abu Bakr ibn al-Harith al-Faqih, who was narrated to us by Abu Muhammad ibn Hayyan, who was narrated to us by Ibn Abi 'Asim, who was informed by Abu Musa, who was informed by Wahb ibn Jarir, who was informed by my father, that Yahya ibn Ayyub reported from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Rabi'ah Luqayt, from Malik ibn Hudhaym, from 'Awf ibn Malik, who said: “We went on a campaign with 'Amr ibn al-'As, and with us were 'Umar ibn al-Khattab and Abu 'Ubaydah, meaning ibn al-Jarrah. I was afflicted with severe head lice, so I found some people intending to slaughter a camel. I said to them, 'Will you allow me to participate in slaughtering it and feed me something from it?' They agreed. I mentioned this to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, and he said, 'You hastened your reward, and I am not going to eat it.' Abu 'Ubaydah also said the same. I then went to the Prophet ﷺ, and when he saw me, he said, 'The companion of the camels?'”

It was also narrated to us by Ibn Abi 'Asim, who was informed by Husayn ibn al-Hasan, who narrated to us from Bani al-Mubarak, who was informed by Sa'id ibn Abi Ayyub, who was informed by Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Rabi'ah ibn Luqayt, from Malik ibn Hudhaym, from 'Awf ibn Malik, who mentioned a similar incident. He said: “Then I was sent to the Prophet ﷺ for a conquest, and he said, 'Are you the companion of the camels?' I said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' This did not discourage him.”

Arabic:

بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي إِخْبَارِهِ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ بِمَا كَانَ مِنْهُ فِي نَحْرِ الْجَزُورِأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ حَيَّانَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَاصِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ أَيُّوبَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عن ربيعة لقيط عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ هَدْمٍ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: «غَزَوْنَا مَعَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ وَمَعَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ يَعْنِي: ابْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ فَأَصَابَتْنِي مَخْمَصَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ فَوَجَدْتُ قَوْمًا يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَنْحَرُوا جَزُورًا فَقُلْتُ أكفيكم عملهما وَنَحْرَهَا وَتُطْعِمُونِي مِنْهَا شَيْئًا قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ: تَعَجَّلْتَ أَجْرَكَ وَمَا أَنَا بِآكِلِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ مِثْلَهُمَا فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ: صَاحِبُ الْجَزُورِ؟ [ (١) ] .وَأَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَاصِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ حدثنا بان الْمُبَارَكَ أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ لَقِيطٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ هَدْمٍ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَنِّي بُعِثْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِفَتْحٍ فَقَالَ: أَنْتَ صَاحِبُ الْجَزُورِ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. لَمْ يَزِدْنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ.[ (١) ] رواه ابن إسحاق في غزوة السلاسل، وقد تقدم تخريجنا له ثمة، ونقله السيوطي في «الخصائص الكبرى» (١: ٢٦١) عن المصنف.

Translation of Classical Arabic Text

Responding, I said, and that has already passed in the Ghazwah of Dhāt al-Salāsil- is that the completion of that already? And that has already passed in the battles of the Messenger of Allah, and his expeditions, what has been narrated about him informing his companions' secrets and others', and that by means of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, informing him. And in his return here, the book extends. And in what we have mentioned is sufficiency - and with Allah is the help."

Arabic:

قُلْتُ وَقَدْ مَضَى هَذَا فِي غَزْوَةِ ذَاتِ السَّلَاسِلِ أَتَمَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ.وَقَدْ مَضَى فِي مَغَازِي رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَسْفَارِهِ مَا رُوِيَ عَنْهُ مِنْ إِخْبَارِهِ عَنْ سَرَائِرِ أَصْحَابِهِ وَغَيْرِهِمْ وَذَلِكَ بِإِعْلَامِ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِيَّاهُ. وَفِي إِعَادَتِهِ هَاهُنَا تَطْوِيلُ الْكِتَابِ. وَفِيمَا ذَكَرْنَا كِفَايَةٌ- وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ.
