Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَتْنِي جَدَّتِي يَعْنِي امْرَأَةَ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ عَفَّانُ عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أُمِّ أَبِيهِ امْرَأَةِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّ رَافِعًا رَمَى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَيَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ قَالَ أَنَا أَشُكُّ بِسَهْمٍ فِي ثَنْدُوَتِهِ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ انْزِعْ السَّهْمَ قَالَ يَا رَافِعُ إِنْ شِئْتَ نَزَعْتُ السَّهْمَ وَالْقُطْبَةَ جَمِيعًا وَإِنْ شِئْتَ نَزَعْتُ السَّهْمَ وَتَرَكْتُ الْقُطْبَةَ وَشَهِدْتُ لَكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنَّكَ شَهِيدٌ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَلْ انْزِعْ السَّهْمَ وَاتْرُكْ الْقُطْبَةَ وَاشْهَدْ لِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنِّي شَهِيدٌ قَالَ فَنَزَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ السَّهْمَ وَتَرَكَ الْقُطْبَةَ.
English Translation
al-Hasan ibn Musa and Affan narrated to us, they said: Amr ibn Marzuq narrated to us: Yahya ibn Abd al-Hamid ibn Rafi' ibn Khadij informed me: My grandmother - meaning the wife of Rafi' ibn Khadij - informed me - Affan said: from his grandmother, the mother of his father, the wife of Rafi' ibn Khadij - that Rafi' shot arrows alongside the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on the day of Uhud and the day of Khaybar. He said: I doubt whether it was an arrow lodged in his chest. He came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said, "O Messenger of Allah, remove the arrow." He said, "O Rafi', if you wish I shall remove the arrow and the arrowhead together, and if you wish I shall remove the arrow and leave the arrowhead, and I shall testify for you on the Day of Resurrection that you are a martyr." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, rather remove the arrow and leave the arrowhead, and bear witness for me on the Day of Resurrection that I am a martyr." He said: So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, removed the arrow and left the arrowhead.
