رجل من يهود خيبر؛ بلغ النبي أنه يجمع غطفان لغزوه، فبعث إليه عبد الله بن رواحة في نفر من أصحابه. 1 فلما قدموا عليه ووعدوه أن النبي يستعمله على خيبر ويكرمه، خرج معهم في نفر من يهود، فلما كانوا بالقرقرة على ستة أميال من خيبر ندم ونكص على راحلته وأهوى إلى سيفه، فضربه عبد الله بن أنيس فقطع رجله وضربه اليسير بمخرش فشجّه، وقتل كل واحد من النفر صاحبه من يهود إلا رجلاً أفلت على رجليه؛ انظر الخبر. 1 2
