2665. 'Ali said: "Utbah bin Rabī'ah came forward, followed by his son and his brother, and called out: 'Who will engage in a dual?' Some of the youths of the Anṣār (Helpers) replied to him. But he said: 'Who are you?' They replied to him. Then he said: 'We do not want you, but we only want our cousins.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Get up O Ḥamzah! Get up O 'Ali! Get up O 'Ubaidah bin Al-Ḥārith!' Hamzah went forward to 'Utbah, and I went forward to Shaibah, and 'Ubaidah and Al-Walīd exchanged two blows, injuring one another severely. Then we turned towards Al-Walīd and killed him, and we carried 'Ubaidah away." (Da'if)

Arabic text

2665 - حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ مُضَرِّبٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: تَقَدَّمَ - يَعْنِي عُتْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ - وَتَبِعَهُ ابْنُهُ وَأَخُوهُ فَنَادَى مَنْ يُبَارِز؟ فَانْتَدَبَ لَهُ شَبَابٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ. فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَنْتُمْ؟ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَقَالَ: لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِيكُمْ إِنَّمَا أَرَدْنَا بَنِي عَمِّنَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قُمْ يَا حَمْزَةُ، قُمْ يَا عَلِيُّ، قُمْ يَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ». فَأَقْبَلَ حَمْزَةُ إِلَى عُتْبَةَ، وَأَقْبَلْتُ إِلَى شَيْبَةَ، وَاخْتُلِفَ بَيْنَ عُبَيْدَةَ وَالْوَلِيدِ ضَرْبَتَانِ فَأَثْخَنَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ، ثُمَّ مِلْنَا عَلَى الْوَلِيدِ فَقَتَلْنَاهُ، وَاحْتَمَلْنَا عُبَيْدَة

Commentary

It is lawful to cry out or challenge adversaries for a dual during battle. This instills fear in the mind of the enemy.
