Sahih al-Bukhari 6635 (Book 87, Hadith 29)
some of your Huda (camel-driving songs.)” So he sang some of them (i.e. a lyric in harmony with the
camels walk). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Who is the driver (of these camels)?” They said, “Amir.” The
Prophet said, “May Allah bestow His Mercy on him !” The people said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Would
that you let us enjoy his company longer!” Then ‘Amir was killed the following morning. The people
said, “The good deeds of ‘Amir are lost as he has killed himself.” I returned at the time while they
were talking about that. I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s Prophet! Let my father be sacrificed
for you! The people claim that ‘Amir’s good deeds are lost.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever says so is a
liar, for ‘Amir will have a double reward as he exerted himself to obey Allah and fought in Allah’s
Cause. No other way of killing would have granted him greater reward.”
