مُسْنَدُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 294
Salamah ibn al-Akwaʿ (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
My paternal uncle ʿĀmir came to me and said, “Give me your weapon.” So I gave it to him. Then I went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, “Messenger of Allah, give me a weapon of yours.” He asked, “Where is your weapon?” I said, “I gave it to my uncle ʿĀmir.” He said, “You are just like the one who said, ‘Grant me a brother dearer to me than myself.‘” And he gave me his bow, his shield, and three arrows from his quiver.

Musnad Aḥmad 294
حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: جَاءَنِي عَمِّي عَامِرٌ فَقَالَ: أَعْطِنِي سِلَاحَكَ، قَالَ: فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ، قَالَ: فَجِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَبْغِنِي سِلَاحَكَ، قَالَ: «أَيْنَ سِلَاحُكَ؟» ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَعْطَيْتُهُ عَمِّي عَامِرًا، قَالَ: «مَا أَجِدُ شَبَهَكَ إِلَّا الَّذِي قَالَ: هَبْ لِي أَخًا أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نَفْسِي» ، قَالَ: فَأَعْطَانِي قَوْسَهُ وَمَجَانَّهُ وَثَلَاثَةَ أَسْهُمٍ مِنْ كِنَانَتِهِ

Chain: Aḥmad → Ḥammād ibn Masʿadah → Yazīd ibn Abī ʿUbayd → Salamah ibn al-Akwaʿ (may Allah be pleased with him) → the Prophet ﷺ. Rijāl: as above. Takhrīj: al-Bukhārī. This hadith illustrates the Prophet's approval of Salamah's generosity toward his uncle ʿĀmir (the same ʿĀmir martyred at Khaybar, mentioned above), likening him to the pre-Islamic proverbial figure who gave up his own share for a brother's sake, and rewarding that generosity in kind.
