English Translation
Salamah ibn al-Akwa' said: "On the Day of Khaybar, my brother 'Amir fought, and his own sword rebounded on him and killed him. The companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) talked about that, saying: 'His deeds have been wasted; he killed himself.' So I came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) weeping and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, have 'Amir's deeds been wasted?' He said: 'Who said that?' I said: 'Some of your companions.' He said: 'Whoever said that has lied. Rather, he has a double reward' — and he joined two of his fingers — 'He is a striver and fighter. Few Arabs have walked upon the earth like him.'"
