As for al-Aʿmash, he narrated it from Abū Ṣāliḥ, from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī (1). In this chapter there is also the report of Zuhayr ibn Muʿāwiyah, from Ḥumayd, from Anas (2).

Abū Ismāʿīl al-Muʾaddib transmitted—through Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Khālid, from al-Shaʿbī, from Ibn Abī Awfā—who said:

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwf complained about Khālid to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Prophet said, “O Khālid! Do not harm a man who fought at Badr. Even if you were to spend gold equal to Mount Uhud, you would still not match his deeds.”

Khālid replied, “They speak against me, so I answer them back.”

The Prophet ﷺ then said, “Do not hurt Khālid, for he is one of Allah’s swords—Allah has unleashed him against the disbelievers.” (3)

No one narrated this from al-Muʾaddib except al-Rabīʿ ibn Thaʿlab (4), though a similar report was transmitted by Jarīr ibn Ḥāzim from al-Ḥasan in mursal form.

Shuʿbah reported: Ḥuṣayn informed us, “I heard Hilāl ibn Yasāf relate from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ẓālim al-Māzinī, from Saʿīd ibn Zayd:

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on Ḥirāʾ, and with him were Abū Bakr, ʿUmar, ʿUthmān, ʿAlī, Ṭalḥah, al-Zubayr, Saʿd, and ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwf,

(1) Reported by al-Bukhari, 7/27-28 (Book of the Virtues of the Prophet’s Companions); Muslim, no. 2541; Abu Dawud, no. 4658; al-Tirmidhi, no. 3860; and Ahmad, 3/11. (2) Reported by Ahmad, 3/266; cited by al-Haythami in Majmaʿ al-zawaʾid, 10/15, who notes that its transmitters are those found in the two Sahih collections. (3) Mentioned by al-Haythami in Majmaʿ al-zawaʾid, 9/349, who attributes it—abridged—to al-Tabarani in both al-Saghir and al-Kabir, and in similar form to al-Bazzar, adding that al-Tabarani’s narrators are reliable. It is also recorded by al-Khatib al-Baghdadi, 12/150, and by al-Hakim, 3/298, who declared it sound; al-Dhahabi, however, commented that Ibn Idris relates it from Ibn Abi Khalid, from al-Shaʿbi as a mursal report, which is the more likely case. (4) This narrator is trustworthy; see his entry in Ibn Abi Hatim’s al-Jarh wa-l-taʿdil, 3/456. The rest of the transmitters in the chain are likewise reliable.

وَأَمَّا الأَعْمَشُ فَرَوَاهُ عَنْ: أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيْدٍ الخُدْرِيِّ (١) ، وَفِي البَابِ حَدِيْثُ زُهَيْرِ بنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ (٢) . أَبُو إِسْمَاعِيْلَ المُؤدِّبُ: عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيْلَ بنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى، قَالَ: شَكَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بنُ عَوْفٍ خَالِداً إِلَى رَسُوْلِ اللهِ ﷺ. فَقَالَ: (يَا خَالِدُ! لاَ تُؤْذِ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ، فَلَوْ أَنْفَقْتَ مِثْلَ أُحُدٍ ذَهَباً لَمْ تُدْرِكْ عَمَلَهُ) . قَالَ: يَقَعُوْنَ فِيَّ، فَأَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِم. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: (لاَ تُؤْذُوا خَالِداً، فَإِنَّهُ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوْفِ اللهِ، صَبَّهُ اللهُ عَلَى الكُفَّارِ (٣)) . لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنِ المُؤَدِّبِ سِوَى الرَّبِيْعِ بنِ ثَعْلَبٍ (٤) ، وَقَدْ رَوَى نَحْوَهُ: جَرِيْرُ بنُ حَازِمٍ، عَنِ الحَسَنِ مُرْسَلاً. شُعْبَةُ: أَنْبَأَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، سَمِعْتُ هِلاَلَ بن يِسَافٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بنِ ظَالِمٍ المَازِنِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيْدِ بنِ زَيْدٍ: أَنَّ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ عَلَى حِرَاءَ، وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرُ، وَعُثْمَانُ، وَعَلِيٌّ، وَطَلْحَةُ، وَالزُّبَيْرُ، وَسَعْدٌ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بنُ عَوْفٍ،
