English translation
6331. Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa': We went out with the Prophet ﷺ to Khaibar. A man among the people said, "O 'Āmir! Will you please recite to us some of your poetry?" So 'Āmir got down and started chanting among them saying, "By Allāh! Had it not been for Allāh, we would not have been guided." 'Āmir also said other poetic verses which I do not remember. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Who is this (camel) driver?" The people said, "He is 'Āmir bin Al-Akwa'." He said, "May Allāh bestow His Mercy on him." A man from the people said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Would that you let us enjoy his company longer."(1) When the people (Muslims) lined up, the battle started, and 'Āmir was struck with his own sword (by chance) by himself, and he died. In the evening, the people made a large number of fires (for cooking meals). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "What is this fire? What are you making the fire for?" They said, "For cooking the meat of donkeys." He said, "Throw away what is in the pots and break the pots!" A man said, "O Allāh's Prophet! May we throw away what is in them and wash them?" He said, "Never mind, you may do so." [See Vol. 5, Hadīth No. 4196]
