Sahih Muslim, 6406

Abu Burda reported on the authority of his father that when Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had been free from the Battle of Hunain, he sent Abu 'Amir as the head of the army of Autas. He had an encounter with Duraid b. as_Simma. Duraid was killed and Allah gave defeat to his friends. Abu Musa said:He (the Holy Prophet) sent me along with Abu 'Amir and Abu 'Amir received a wound in his knee from the arrow, (shot by) a person of Bani Jusham. It stuck in his knee. I went to him and said: Uncle, who shot an arrow upon you? Abu 'Amir pointed out to Abu Musa and said: Verily that one who shot an arrow upon me in fact killed me. Abu Musa said: I followed him with the determination to kill him and overtook him and when he saw me he turned upon his heels. I followed him and I said to him: Don't you feel ashamed (that you run), aren't you an Arab? Why don't you stop? He stopped and I had an encounter with him and we exchanged the strokes of (swords). I struck him with the sword and killed him. Then I came back to Abu Amir and said: Verily Allah has killed the one who killed you. And he said: Now draw out this arrow. I drew out the arrow and there came out from that (wound) water. Abu 'Amir said: My nephew, go to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and convey my greetings to him and tell him that Abu Amir begs you to ask forgiveness for him. And Abu Amir appointed me as the chief of the people and he died after a short time. When I came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) I visited him and he had been lying on the cot woven by strings and there was (no) bed over it and so there had been marks of the strings on the back of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and on his sides. I narrated to him what had happened to us and narrated to him about Abu Amir and said to him that he had made a request to the effect that forgiveness should be sought for him (from Allah). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be. upon him) called for water and performed ablution with it. He then lifted his hands and said. O Allah, grant pardon to Thy servant Abu Amir. (The Prophet had raised his hands so high for supplication) that I saw the whiteness of his armpits. He again said: O Allah, grant him distinction amongst the majority of Thine created beings or from amongst the people. I said: Allah's Messenger, ask forgiveness for me too. Thereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Allah, forgive the sins of Abdullah b. Qais (Abu Musa Ash'ari) and admit him to an elevated place on the Day of Resurrection. Abu Burda said: One prayer is for abu 'Amir and the other is tor Abu Musa

Rapporté par Abou Bourda, d’après son père رضي الله عنه : Quand le Messager d’Allah ﷺ eut terminé la bataille de Houneyn, il envoya Abou ‘Amir à la tête de l’armée d’Awtaas. Il affronta Douraïd ibn as-Simma, qui fut tué, et Allah donna la défaite à ses compagnons. Abou Moussa a dit : Il m’a envoyé avec Abou ‘Amir, qui reçut une flèche au genou tirée par un homme des Bani Joucham. La flèche resta plantée dans son genou. Je suis allé le voir et j’ai dit : « Mon oncle, qui t’a tiré cette flèche ? » Abou ‘Amir me montra du doigt et dit : « Celui qui m’a tiré cette flèche m’a en fait tué. » Je l’ai poursuivi avec l’intention de le tuer. Quand il m’a vu, il a pris la fuite. Je lui ai dit : « N’as-tu pas honte de fuir ? N’es-tu pas un Arabe ? Pourquoi ne t’arrêtes-tu pas ? » Il s’est arrêté, nous avons échangé des coups d’épée, je l’ai frappé et tué. Je suis ensuite revenu vers Abou ‘Amir et lui ai dit : « Allah a tué celui qui t’a tué. » Il m’a dit : « Arrache cette flèche. » Je l’ai retirée, et de l’eau est sortie de la blessure. Abou ‘Amir a dit : « Mon neveu, va transmettre mes salutations au Messager d’Allah ﷺ et dis-lui qu’Abou ‘Amir lui demande d’implorer le pardon pour lui. » Il m’a désigné comme chef du groupe, puis il est décédé peu après. Quand je suis arrivé auprès du Messager d’Allah ﷺ, il était allongé sur un lit de cordes sans matelas, et les cordes laissaient des marques sur son dos et ses flancs. Je lui ai raconté ce qui nous était arrivé et ce qu’avait demandé Abou ‘Amir. Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ a alors demandé de l’eau, a fait ses ablutions, puis a levé les mains et dit : « Ô Allah, pardonne à Ton serviteur Abou ‘Amir. » (Le Prophète ﷺ leva les mains si haut que je vis la blancheur de ses aisselles.) Il ajouta : « Ô Allah, accorde-lui une place d’honneur parmi Tes créatures. » J’ai dit : « Ô Messager d’Allah, prie aussi pour moi. » Il a dit : « Ô Allah, pardonne les péchés d’Abdullah ibn Qays (Abou Moussa al-Ash‘ari) et accorde-lui une place élevée le Jour de la Résurrection. » Abou Bourda a dit : Une prière était pour Abou ‘Amir, l’autre pour Abou Moussa
