وَمِنْ أَخْبَارِ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ

tabarani:14228Abū Khalīfah > Muḥammad b. Sallām > Baʿḍ Aṣḥābinā > Ḥarriḍ Salmān b. Rabīʿah al-Khayl Famar ʿAmr b. Maʿdī Karib > Faras Lah > Lah Salmān Hadhā al-Hajīn > ʿAmr ʿAtīq

Then the horse of Amr came, so he bent down his hands and drank. And this is the behavior of the hybrid. He said, 'Don't you see?' He said, 'Yes, the hybrid knows the hybrid.' So Umar reached out and wrote to him, 'I have received what you said to your leader, and I have received that you have a sword called Al-Sim'amah, and I have a carefully crafted sword, and by Allah, if you lay it on your shoulder, I will not remove it until I deliver it to something.' So he mentioned it from his chest. If you are pleased to know the most rightful thing I say, then come back.'"  

الطبراني:١٤٢٢٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ حَرِّضَ سَلْمَانُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ الْخَيْلَ فَمَرَّ عَمْرُو بْنُ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَلْمَانُ هَذَا الْهَجِينُ فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو عَتِيقٌ قَالَ

فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَعُطِّشَ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِطَسْتٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ وَدَعَا بِعَنَاقِ الْخَيْلِ فَشَرِبَتْ فَجَاءَ فَرَسُ عَمْرٍو فَثَنَى يَدَيْهِ وَشَرِبَ وَهَذَا صَنِيعُ الهَجِينِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَلَا تَرَى؟ فَقَالَ أَجَلْ الهَجِينُ يَعْرِفُ الهَجِينَ فَبَلَغَ عُمَرَ وَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ «قَدْ بَلَغَنِي مَا قُلْتَ لِأَمِيرِكَ وَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّ لَكَ سَيْفًَا تُسَمِّيهِ الصِّمْعَامَةَ وَعِنْدِي سَيْفٌ مُصَمَّمٌ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ وَضَعْتَهُ عَلَى هَامَتِكَ لَا أُقْلِعَ حَتَّى أَبْلُغَ بِهِ شَيْئًا فَذَكَرَهُ مِنْ جَوْفِهِ فَإِنْ سَرَّكَ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ أَحَقٌّ مَا أَقُولُ فَعُدْ»
