موجز

رجل من أشجع لا نعرف منه إلا موته: مرّ بسرية ابن أبي حدرد ببطن إضم على قعود له ومعه متاع ووطب من لبن، فسلّم بتحية الإسلام، فأمسك القوم عنه وحمل عليه محلّم بن جثامة فقتله. 1 ويقول ابن أبي حدرد إن آية النساء 94 نزلت فيهم. 1 وبحنين طلب عيينة بن حصن بدمه بصفته رئيس غطفان، فقضى النبي بالدية مئة: خمسين في السفر وخمسين عند الرجوع؛ انظر الغزوة. 2

علامات الرواية

  • إسلامه مستفاد من تحيته ومن سياق الآية، ولم يصرّح به ابن إسحاق إلا بما نقله عن الأقرع أن قومه قد يشهدون «أنه قُتل كافراً ما صلى قط» في مقام التهديد. 3
