ahmad:1620Rawḥ > Ibn ʿAwn > Muḥammad b. Muḥammad b. al-Aswad > ʿĀmir b. Saʿdʿan Abīh

[Machine] When it was the day of the Khandaq (the Battle of the Trench), there was a man who was taking cover and he spoke while holding a shield saying, "This is how it will protect me," and he placed it over his nose. Then he said, "This is how it will be lowered." Afterward, I leaned towards my quiver and took out a sharp arrow and placed it in the liver of the bow. When he said, "This is how it will be lowered," I shot and did not miss the target. The arrow hit the shield and he said in surprise, "I did not forget the sound of the arrow hitting the shield." He fell down and said with his leg, and the Prophet ﷺ laughed. I thought he said this until his fangs appeared, so I asked, "Why?" He said, "Because of the man's actions."  

أحمد:١٦٢٠حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍعَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْخَنْدَقِ وَرَجُلٌ يَتَتَرَّسُ جَعَلَ يَقُولُ بِالتُّرْسِ هَكَذَا فَوَضَعَهُ فَوْقَ أَنْفِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ هَكَذَا يُسَفِّلُهُ بَعْدُ قَالَ فَأَهْوَيْتُ إِلَى كِنَانَتِي فَأَخْرَجْتُ مِنْهَا سَهْمًا مُدَمًّا فَوَضَعْتُهُ فِي كَبِدِ الْقَوْسِ فَلَمَّا قَالَ هَكَذَا يُسَفِّلُ التُّرْسَ رَمَيْتُ فَمَا نَسِيتُ وَقْعَ الْقِدْحِ عَلَى كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنَ التُّرْسِ قَالَ وَسَقَطَ فَقَالَ بِرِجْلِهِ فَضَحِكَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِمَ؟ قَالَ لِفِعْلِ الرَّجُلِ
