QuizTime(97):  Who was that sahabi Martyred by his own sword when this sword recoiled upon him ?

 

 

Ans:  Aamir Ibn Al-Akwa(r.a)

 

Salamah bin Al-Akwa(r.a) as we discussed about this Sahabi in our last quiz. He never knew deep sorrow and anxiety except when his brother `Aamir Ibn Al-Akwa' died during the Battle of Al- Khaibar.

“…Khaibar knows that I am Marhab (who behaves like) A fully armed, and well-tried warrior. When the war comes spreading its flames. My uncle, Amir, came out to combat with him, saying: Khaibar certainly knows that I am 'Amir, A fully armed veteran who plunges into battles. They exchanged blows. Marbab's sword struck the shield of 'Amir who bent forward to attack his opponent from below, but his sword recoiled upon him and cut the main artery: in his forearm which caused his death. Salama said: I came out and heard some people among the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) saying: Amir's deed has been wasted; he has killed himself. So I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) weeping and I said: Messenger of Allah. Amir's deed has been wasted. The Messenger (ﷺ) said: Who passed this remark? I said: Some of your Companions. He said: He who has passed that remark has told a lie, for 'Amir there is a double reward…” [Sahi Muslim Hadith 4450]

Aamir was the one singing in front of the Muslim army:

“Had it not been for You. We would not have been guided, Nor prayed nor given charity. Bless us with tranquility, And let us be strong and firm-hearted when meeting our enemies.”
