English translation

2539. It was reported from Mu'awiyyah bin Abī Sallām, from his father, from his grandfather Abū Sallām, from a man among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "We attacked a tribe from Juhainah. One of the Muslims pursued a man from them. He struck at him but missed, and injured himself with the sword. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Your brother, O group of Muslims!' The people rushed towards him, but found him dead. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ wrapped him in his garments with his blood, and offered the (funeral) prayer for him, and buried him. They said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Is he a martyr?' He said: 'Yes, and I am a witness for him.'" (Da'if)

2539 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَّامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَبِي سَلَّامٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: أَغَرْنَا عَلَى حَيٍّ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ فَطَلَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ فَضَرَبَهُ، فَأَخْطَأَهُ وَأَصَابَ نَفْسَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَخُوكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ» فَابْتَدَرَهُ النَّاسُ فَوَجَدُوهُ قَدْ مَاتَ، فَلَفَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثِيَابِهِ وَدِمَائِهِ وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَدَفَنَهُ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَشَهِيدٌ هُوَ؟، قَالَ: «نَعَمْ وَأَنَا لَهُ شَهِيدٌ»
