1259 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to us; ʿAffān narrated to us; Jaʿfar narrated to us; Mālik ibn Dīnār narrated to us; a certain person told me that ʿĀmir ibn ʿAbd Allah once passed through al-Rahbah and found a dhimmī (a non-Muslim under Muslim protection) being wronged. ʿĀmir threw off his cloak and said, “I will not stand by and see the covenant of Allah violated while I am alive.” He then rescued the man.
١٢٥٩ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، حَدَّثَنِي فُلَانٌ، أَنَّ عَامِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، مَرَّ بِالرَّحْبَةِ وَإِذَا ذَمِّيٌّ يَظْلِمُ قَالَ: فَأَلْقَى عَامِرٌ رِدَاءَهُ قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَا أَرَى ذِمَّةَ اللَّهِ تُخْفَرُ وَأَنَا حَيٌّ، ثُمَّ اسْتَنْقَذَهُ "
