عُمَيْرُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ الْجُمَحِيُّ
[Machine] From Abu Imran Al-Jawni, I do not know of it except from Anas ibn Malik who said: Wahb ibn Umayr witnessed the Battle of Uhud as a disbeliever and he was wounded. He was among the dead when a man from the Ansar passed by and recognized him. The man placed his sword on Wahb's stomach until it came out from his back, then he left him. When the night fell and the cold weather struck him, he went to Makkah, and he was cured. He met Safwan ibn Umayyah in a cave and Wahb said, "If it weren't for my debts and my family, I would have loved to be the one to kill Muhammad." Safwan asked him, "How would you do it?" Wahb replied, "I am a generous man and I would approach him with kindness, then strike him with my sword while riding a horse, and no one would be able to catch me." Safwan said, "Your family is with my family, and you have debts to me." So, Wahb sharpened his sword and named it, then went out to Madinah with the sole intention of killing the Prophet. When he arrived in Madinah, Umar ibn Al-Khattab saw him and felt uneasy about him. Umar said to the companions of the Prophet, "I saw Wahb approaching our city and he is a treacherous man. Prepare to defend your Prophet." The Muslims surrounded the Prophet and Wahb came and stood in front of him. He said, "Good morning, Muhammad." The Prophet replied, "Allah has replaced it with something better." Wahb said, "I have come to redeem my captives." The Prophet asked, "What about the sword?" Wahb said, "We carried it on the day of Badr but we were not successful nor triumphant." The Prophet asked, "What did you say to Safwan in the cave?" Wahb replied, "I informed him of what people on earth say but they call you a liar. But I see that you inform the heavens of your news. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and you are the Messenger of Allah." Wahb then said, "Oh Messenger of Allah, give me your turban." The Prophet gave him his turban and Wahb left for Makkah. Umar said, "He has arrived and he is more detestable to me than a pig," but when he returned, Umar said, "He is more beloved to me than some of my children."
