حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أَحْمَدُ كَذَا قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هُوَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَنْبَسَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ خالد جميعا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يُونُسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَحْمَدُ:‏‏‏‏ وَالصَّوَابُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ الْأَكْوَعِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ خَيْبَرَ قَاتَلَ أَخِي قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا فَارْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ سَيْفُهُ فَقَتَلَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فِي ذَلِكَ وَشَكُّوا فِيهِ رَجُلٌ مَاتَ بِسِلَاحِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَاتَ جَاهِدًا مُجَاهِدًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ:‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ ابْنًا لِسَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ كَذَبُوا مَاتَ جَاهِدًا مُجَاهِدًا فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ .

“On the day of the battle of the Khaibar, my brother fought desperately. But his sword fell back on him and killed him. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم talked about him and doubted it (his martyrdom) saying “A man who died with his own weapon”. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said “he died as a warrior striving in the path of Allah. Ibn Shihab said “I asked the son of Salamah bin Al Akwa رضی اللہ عنہ . ” He narrated to me on the authority of his father similar to that except that he said “The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said “They told a lie, he died as a warrior striving in the path of Allah. There is a double reward for him. ””
