[Machine] My uncle, Baraz, stood out on the day of Khaybar and greeted the Jew. He said, "Welcome, O Jew." The Jew replied, "Welcome indeed, O Baraz. Khaybar knows that I am a welcomed warrior, a tested champion. When the battles are ignited, I become ablaze."
My uncle, Aamir, responded, "Welcome, O Baraz. Khaybar knows that I am an experienced warrior, a daring hero."
They exchanged two strikes, and Baraz's sword fell on Aamir's shield. It slid down and accidentally cut his ankle, severing his tendon. Baraz said, "Salama bin Al-Akwa' was there, and I met some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ . They said, 'Aamir's actions have come to an end; he has killed himself.' Salama said, 'So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ crying. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, Aamir's actions have come to an end.' The Prophet ﷺ asked, 'Who said that?' I said, 'Some of your companions.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whoever said that has lied. Rather, he will be rewarded twice. When he went to Khaybar, he was reciting poetry about the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he was among them, and yet they were saying, 'By Allah, if it weren't for Allah, we would not have been guided, nor would we have been charitable, nor would we have prayed. Indeed, when those who transgress against us desire evil, we defend ourselves, seeking no help from your favor. So stand firm, for we shall meet them and send down tranquility upon us.'"
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Who is this person?' They said, 'It is Aamir, O Messenger of Allah.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'May your Lord forgive you.'
Upon hearing this, Umar ibn Al-Khattab said, 'O Messenger of Allah, if you grant us respite with Aamir, he should be given the opportunity to be martyred.' Salama said, 'Then the Prophet ﷺ sent me to Ali and said, 'I will bestow the flag upon a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, or whom Allah and His Messenger love.' I brought Ali, and I led him. He spitted in the Prophet's ﷺ eye and then received the flag. Marhaba went forward, swinging his sword and reciting poetry. He said, 'Khaybar surely knows that I am Marhaba, the champion wielding the weapon. When the battles are ignited, I become ablaze.' Ali responded, 'I am the one whom my mother named Haydar. I am like the thorny bush, unpleasant to the sight. I repay them measure for measure, like weighing the sandam. So I split Marhaba's head with my sword, and the victory was through my hands.'"
