صحيح البخاري

Sahih al-Bukhari
Salamah ibn al-Akwaʿ (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
"We set out with the Prophet ﷺ towards Khaybar. One of the men said: 'O ʿĀmir, let us hear some of your poetry!' So he sang [camel-driving verses] to lead them along. The Prophet ﷺ asked: 'Who is the driver [singing]?' They said: 'ʿĀmir.' He said: 'May Allah have mercy on him!' The people said: 'O Messenger of Allah, would that you had let us enjoy his company longer!' But ʿĀmir was killed the following morning. The people said: 'His deeds are nullified—he killed himself!' When I returned while they were saying this about ʿĀmir, I went to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Prophet of Allah, may my father and mother be your ransom—they are claiming that ʿĀmir's deeds have been nullified.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Whoever says so has lied. He will have a double reward: he was truly a striving mujāhid—and what manner of death could add any more to his reward?'"

حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: «خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى خَيْبَرَ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ: أَسْمِعْنَا يَا عَامِرُ مِنْ هُنَيْهَاتِكَ. فَحَدَا بِهِمْ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: مَنِ السَّائِقُ؟ قَالُوا: عَامِرٌ. فَقَالَ: رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ. فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلاَّ أَمْتَعْتَنَا بِهِ. فَأُصِيبَ صَبِيحَةَ لَيْلَتِهِ. فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ: حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ، قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ. فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ وَهُمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ أَنَّ عَامِرًا حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ، فَجِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ فَدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي، زَعَمُوا أَنَّ عَامِرًا حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ. فَقَالَ: كَذَبَ مَنْ قَالَهَا، إِنَّ لَهُ لَأَجْرَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ، إِنَّهُ لَجَاهِدٌ مُجَاهِدٌ، وَأَيُّ قَتْلٍ يَزِيدُهُ عَلَيْهِ».
