Abü Müsâ said: 'And he sent me with Abü 'Amir.' He said: 'Abü 'Amir was struck in the knee with an arrow by a man of Banü Jusham, and it was stuck in his knee. I came to him and said: "0 uncle, who struck you?" Abü 'Amir pointed him out to Abü Müsâ and said: "That one killed me, do you see the one who struck me?" Abü Müsâ said: "I went to him and caught up with him, and when he saw me, he ran away from me. I followed Virtues Of The Companions 367 him and I started saying: 'Don't you feel ashamed? Aren't you an Arab? Won't you stand firm?' So he stopped, and we met and traded blows, then I struck him :[J] with the sword and killed him. Then I went back to AN 'Amir and said: 'Allah has killed your ii opponent.' He said: 'Pull this arrow out.' So I pulled it out and J water came out of it (the wound). He said: '0 son of my brother, go to the Messenger of Allah and convey greetings of Salâm to him from, me, and say to him: "Abü L4i I•; 'Amir says to you: 'Pray for forgiveness for me.'"
