Amr ibn Kharija

عمرو بن خارجة

A Companion whom Attab ibn Asid sent to the Prophet ﷺ on an errand while he stood at Arafat in the Farewell Pilgrimage; he stood under the Prophet's camel with its foam falling on his head and heard him say that no bequest is valid for an heir, the child belongs to the bed and the adulterer gets the stone; Ibn Ishaq has it from Layth ibn Abi Sulaym from Shahr ibn Hawshab from him.

صحابي سمع النبي بعرفة في حجة الوداع وروى عنه كلمات من خطبته. 1

روايته

يروي ابن إسحاق عن ليث بن أبي سليم عن شهر بن حوشب الأشعري عن عمرو بن خارجة أن عتاب بن أسيد بعثه إلى النبي في حاجة والنبي واقف بعرفة، فبلّغه ثم وقف تحت ناقة النبي ولغامها يقع على رأسه، فسمعه يقول: أيها الناس، إن الله قد أدّى إلى كل ذي حق حقه، وإنه لا تجوز وصية لوارث، والولد للفراش وللعاهر الحجر، ومن ادعى إلى غير أبيه أو تولى غير مواليه فعليه لعنة الله والملائكة والناس أجمعين. 1 2 ويفسّر المحققون «اللغام» بالرغوة التي تخرج على فم البعير. 1
