[Machine] The Jewish man, Marhab, emerged from his fortress with his weapons gathered, trembling and saying, "The sea of Rijz knows that I, Marhab, am a skilled warrior who stabs and strikes. When the lions approach, they will be engulfed in flames. They dare not come near my protection, and who can duel with me?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Who is this?" Muhammad ibn Muslimah replied, "It is I, O Messenger of Allah, I am the one who seeks retribution, and the avenger of my brother who was killed yesterday." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Stand by him, O Allah, aid him against him." As one of them approached his opponent, a century-old tree from the tree of al-Oshr appeared between them. One of them sought refuge behind it from his opponent, and every time he sought refuge, the other would cut off what is below him with his sword, until each of them appeared to his respective opponent, and they continued like this for a while. Then Marhab attacked Muhammad and struck him with his sword, but Muhammad defended himself with his iron shield and the sword got stuck. The shield bit into the sword, and Muhammad ibn Muslimah struck Marhab until he killed him.

خَرَجَ مَرْحَبٌ الْيَهُودِيُّ مِنْ حِصْنِهِمْ قَدْ جَمَعَ سِلَاحَهُ يَرْتَجِزُ وَيَقُولُ[البحر الرجز]قَدْ عَلِمَتْ خَيْبَرُ أَنِّي مَرْحَبُ شَاكِي السِّلَاحِ بَطَلٌ مُجَرَّبُأَطْعَنُ أَحْيَانًا وَحِينًا أَضْرِبُ إِذَا اللُّيُوثُ أَقْبَلَتْ تَلَهَّبُإِنَّ حِمَايَ لِلَحِمَى لَا يُقْرَبُوَهُوَ يَقُولُ مَنْ مُبَارِزٌ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ لِهَذَا؟ فَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ أَنَا لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَأَنَا وَاللهِ الْمَوْتُورُ الثَّائِرُ قَتَلُوا أَخِي بِالْأَمْسِ قَالَ فَقُمْ إِلَيْهِ اللهُمَّ أَعِنْهُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا دَنَا أَحَدُهُمَا مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ دَخَلَتْ بَيْنَهُمَا شَجَرَةٌ عُمْرِيَّةٌ مِنْ شَجَرِ الْعُشَرِ فَجَعَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَلُوذُ بِهَا مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ كُلَّمَا لَاذَ بِهَا مِنْهُ اقْتَطَعَ بِسَيْفِهِ مَا دُونَهُ حَتَّى بَرَزَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ وَصَارَتْ بَيْنَهُمَا كَالرَّجُلِ الْقَائِمِ مَا فِيهَا فَنَنٌ ثُمَّ حَمَلَ مَرْحَبٌ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ فَضَرَبَهُ فَاتَّقَاهَا بِالدَّرَقَةِ فَوَقَعَ سَيْفُهُ فِيهَا فَعَضَّتْ بِهِ فَأَمْسَكَتْهُ وَضَرَبَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ حَتَّى قَتَلَهُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who will deal with this wicked person?" Muhammad ibn Maslamah said, "I will, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go to him, O Allah, assist him." So Muhammad ibn Maslamah stood up. Jabir said, "By Allah, I have never witnessed a fight between two men like I witnessed between them. When one of them approached the other, a tree came between them. One of them sought refuge behind it from his companion. When he hid behind it with something, his companion found what was behind it until he reached him. They kept maneuvering their swords. Muhammad ibn Maslamah struck him with his sword, and it penetrated him. However, Marhab was unable to remove his sword. Muhammad hit him and killed him."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ لِهَذَا الْخَبِيثِ مَرْحَبٍ؟» فَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ «قُمْ إِلَيْهِ اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنْهُ» فَقَامَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ حَرْبًا بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ شَهِدْتُهُ مِثْلَهُمَا لَمَّا دَنَا أَحَدُهُمَا مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ وَقَعَتْ بَيْنَهُمَا شَجَرَةٌ فَجَعَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَلُوذُ بِهِ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ فَإِذَا اسْتَتَرَ مِنْهَا بِشَيْءٍ وَجَدَ صَاحِبَهُ مَا يَلِيهِ مِنْهَا حَتَّى يَخْلُصَ إِلَيْهِ فَمَا زَالَا يَتَحَرَّفَانِهِ بِأَسْيَافِهِمَا فَضَرَبَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ سَيْفَهُ بِالدَّرَقَةِ فَوَقَعَ فِيهَا سَيْفًهُ وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ مَرْحَبٌ أَنْ يَنْزِعَ سَيْفَهُ فَضَرَبَهُ مُحَمَّدٌ فَقَتَلَهُ
