Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

ʿUbaydah ibn al-Ḥārith ibn al-Muṭṭalib ibn ʿAbd Manāf al-Muṭṭalibī—whose leg had been severed by ʿUtbah—died two days later at al-Safraʾ. These men were from the Emigrants.

Among the Helpers were: ʿUmayr ibn al-Ḥumām; the two sons of ʿAfrāʾ; Ḥārithah ibn Surāqah; Yazīd ibn al-Ḥārith, known as Fusḥum; Rāfiʿ ibn al-Muʿallā al-Zarqī; Saʿd ibn Khaythamah al-Awsī; and Mubashshir ibn ʿAbd al-Mundhir, the brother of Abū Lubābah.

Altogether, the martyrs numbered fourteen men.

ʿUtbah and Shaybah, the two sons of Rabīʿah, were also killed; their combined age was one hundred and forty years, Shaybah being three years the elder.

By Allah, I saw his father and brother when they were killed.”

Abū Rāfiʿ, the Prophet’s freedman, related: “I was a young servant of al-ʿAbbās. Islam had already entered our household—al-ʿAbbās had embraced Islam and so had I—but he feared his people, disliked discord, and concealed his faith. He was a wealthy man whose money was distributed among his clan. Abū Lahab had stayed behind from Badr, and when the news of Quraysh’s defeat reached him—may Allah abase and disgrace him—we felt a surge of strength and honour within ourselves. I was a frail man who used to carve wooden drinking-cups in a chamber by the Zamzam well. While I was seated there carving…"

الحارث بن المطلب بن عبد مناف المطلبي الذي قطع رجله عتبة، مات بعد يومين بالصفراء. وهؤلاء من المهاجرين. وعمير بن الحمام، وابنا عفراء، وحارثة بن سراقة، ويزيد بن الحارث فُسحُم، ورافع بن المعلى الزرقي، وسعد بن خيثمة الأوسي، ومبشر بن عبد المنذر أخو أبي لبابة. فالجملة أربعة عشر رجلا. وقتل عتبة وشيبة ابنا ربيعة، وهما ابنا أربعين ومائة سنة. وكان شيبة أكبر بثلاث سنين. قال ابن إسحاق: وكان أول من قدم مكة بمصاب قريش: الحسمان بن عبد الله الخزاعي. فقالوا: ما وراءك؟ قال: قتل عتبة، وشيبة, وأبو جهل، وأمية، وزمعة بن الأسود، ونبيه، ومنبه، وأبو البختري بن هشام. فلما جعل يعدد أشراف قريش قال صفوان بن أمية وهو قاعد في الحجر: والله إن يعقل هذا فسلوه عني. فقالوا: ما فعل صفوان؟ قال: ها هو ذاك جالسا، قد والله رأيت أباه وأخاه حين قتلا. وعن أبي رافع مولى النبي ﷺ قال: كنت غلاما للعباس وكان الإسلام قد دخلنا أهل البيت، فأسلم العباس وأسلمت، وكان العباس يهاب قومه ويكره الخلاف ويكتم إسلامه، وكان ذا مال كثير متفرق في قومه. وكان أبو لهب قد تخلف عن بدر، فلما جاءه الخبر بمصاب قريش كبته الله وأخزاه، ووجدنا في أنفسنا قوة وعزة, وكنت رجلا ضعيفا، وكنت أنحت الأقداح في حجرة زمزم، فإني لجالس أنحت
