Sahih al-Bukhari 6094 (Book 80, Hadith 28)
recite to us some of your poetic verses?” So ‘Amir got down and started chanting among them, saying,
“By Allah! Had it not been for Allah, we would not have been guided.” ‘Amir also said other poetic
verses which I do not remember. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Who is this (camel) driver?” The people said,
“He is ‘Amir bin Al-Akwa`,” He said, “May Allah bestow His Mercy on him.” A man from the People
said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Would that you let us enjoy his company longer.” When the people
(Muslims) lined up, the battle started, and ‘Amir was struck with his own sword (by chance) by
himself and died. In the evening, the people made a large number of fires (for cooking meals). Allah’s
Apostle said, “What is this fire? What are you making the fire for?” They said, “For cooking the meat
of donkeys.” He said, “Throw away what is in the pots and break the pots!” A man said, “O Allah’s
Prophet! May we throw away what is in them and wash them?” He said, “Never mind, you may do
so.” (See Hadith No. 509, Vol. 5).
Sahih al-Bukhari 6094 (Book 80, Hadith 28)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
