Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that Jabir ibn Abdullah
al-Ansari said, "We went out with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, in the raid on the Banu Ammar tribe." Jabir said, "I was
resting under a tree when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, came. I said, 'Messenger of Allah; come to the shade.' So the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sat down, and I
stood up and went to a sack of ours. I looked in it for something and found a
small cucumber and broke it. Then I brought it to the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace. He said, 'From where did you get this?' I
said, 'We brought it from Madina, Messenger of Allah.' "
Jabir continued, "We had a friend of ours with us whom we used to equip to go
out to guard our mounts. I gave him what was necessary and then he turned about
to go to the mounts and he was wearing two threadbare cloaks of his. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, looked at him and
said, 'Does he have two garments other than these?' I said, 'Yes, Messenger of
Allah. He has two garments in the bag.' I gave them to him. He said, 'Let him go
and put them on.' I let him go to put them on. As he turned to go, the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, exclaimed, 'May Allah strike
his neck. Isn't that better for him?' He said (taking him literally), 'Messenger
of Allah, in the way of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, 'In the way of Allah.' " Jabir added, "The man was killed
in the way of Allah."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ
اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله
عليه وسلم فِي غَزْوَةِ بَنِي أَنْمَارٍ . قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا نَازِلٌ
تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ إِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ
اللَّهِ هَلُمَّ إِلَى الظِّلِّ . قَالَ فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه
وسلم فَقُمْتُ إِلَى غِرَارَةٍ لَنَا فَالْتَمَسْتُ فِيهَا شَيْئًا فَوَجَدْتُ
فِيهَا جِرْوَ قِثَّاءٍ فَكَسَرْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَرَّبْتُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى
الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " مِنْ أَيْنَ لَكُمْ هَذَا " . قَالَ فَقُلْتُ
خَرَجْنَا بِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ . قَالَ جَابِرٌ
وَعِنْدَنَا صَاحِبٌ لَنَا نُجَهِّزُهُ يَذْهَبُ يَرْعَى ظَهْرَنَا - قَالَ -
فَجَهَّزْتُهُ ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَذْهَبُ فِي الظَّهْرِ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدَانِ لَهُ
قَدْ خَلَقَا - قَالَ - فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَيْهِ
فَقَالَ " أَمَا لَهُ ثَوْبَانِ غَيْرُ هَذَيْنِ " . فَقُلْتُ بَلَى يَا
رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَهُ ثَوْبَانِ فِي الْعَيْبَةِ كَسَوْتُهُ إِيَّاهُمَا . قَالَ
" فَادْعُهُ فَمُرْهُ فَلْيَلْبَسْهُمَا " . قَالَ فَدَعَوْتُهُ
فَلَبِسَهُمَا ثُمَّ وَلَّى يَذْهَبُ . قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله
عليه وسلم " مَا لَهُ ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ عُنُقَهُ أَلَيْسَ هَذَا خَيْرًا لَهُ "
. قَالَ فَسَمِعَهُ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ " .
