حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: جَاءَنِي عَمِّي عَامِرٌ فَقَالَ: أَعْطِنِي سِلَاحَكَ، قَالَ: فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ، قَالَ: فَجِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَبْغِنِي سِلَاحَكَ، قَالَ: «أَيْنَ سِلَاحُكَ؟» ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَعْطَيْتُهُ عَمِّي عَامِرًا، قَالَ: «مَا أَجِدُ شَبَهَكَ إِلَّا الَّذِي قَالَ: هَبْ لِي أَخًا أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نَفْسِي» ، قَالَ: فَأَعْطَانِي قَوْسَهُ وَمَجَانَّهُ وَثَلَاثَةَ أَسْهُمٍ مِنْ كِنَانَتِهِ
English translation
Salamah ibn al-Akwaʿ (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: My paternal uncle ʿĀmir came to me and said, “Give me your weapon.” So I gave it to him. Then I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ and said, “Messenger of Allah, give me a weapon of yours.” He asked, “Where is your weapon?” I said, “I gave it to my uncle ʿĀmir.” He said, “You are just like the one who said, ‘Grant me a brother dearer to me than myself.‘” And he gave me his bow, his shield, and three arrows from his quiver.
