CHAPTER: Regarding A Man Who Dies By His Own Weapon.
Salamah bin Al Akwa said “On the day of the battle of the Khaibar, my brother fought desperately. But his sword fell back on him and killed him. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم talked about him and doubted it (his martyrdom) saying “A man who died with his own weapon”. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said “he died as a warrior striving in the path of Allaah. Ibn Shihab said “I asked the son of Salamah bin Al Akwa. ” He narrated to me on the authority of his father similar to that except that he said “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said “They told a lie, he died as a warrior striving in the path of Allaah. There is a double reward for him. ””
Narrated Abu Salam: Abu Salam reported on the authority of a man from the companion of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He said: We attacked a tribe of Juhaynah. A man from the Muslims pursued a man of them, and struck him but missed him. He struck himself with the sword. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Your brother, O group of Muslims. The people hastened towards him, but found him dead. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم wrapped him with his clothes and his blood, and offered (funeral) prayer for him and buried him. They said: Messenger of Allah, is he a martyr? He said: Yes, and I am witness to him.
