Amr bin Uqaysh had given out loans on interest during the time before Islam, and he was reluctant to embrace Islam until he had collected what was owed to him. Then came the day of Uhud.He asked, "Where are my cousins?"They replied, "At Uhud."He asked, "Where is so-and-so?"They replied, "At Uhud."He asked, "And where is so-and-so?"They replied, "At Uhud."So he put on his armor, mounted his horse, and rode out toward them. When the Muslims saw him, they said, "Stay away from us, Amr."He said, "I have indeed believed."He fought until he was wounded, and was carried back to his family in that state. Saad bin Muaz came to him and said to his sister, "Ask him whether he fought out of tribal loyalty to his people, out of anger for their sake, or out of anger for the sake of Allah."He answered, "Rather, out of anger for the sake of Allah and His Messenger."Then he died and entered Paradise, though he had never offered a single prayer to Allah.
حدثنا موسى بن إسمعيل حدثنا حماد أخبرنا محمد بن عمرو عن أبي سلمة
أن عمرو بن أقيش كان له ربا في الجاهلية فكره أن يسلم حتى يأخذه فجاء يوم أحد فقال أين بنو عمي قالوا بأحد قال أين فلان قالوا بأحد قال فأين فلان قالوا بأحد فلبس لأمته وركب فرسه ثم توجه قبلهم فلما رآه المسلمون قالوا إليك عنا يا عمرو قال إني قد آمنت فقاتل حتى جرح فحمل إلى أهله جريحا فجاءه سعد بن معاذ فقال لأخته سليه حمية لقومك أو غضبا لهم أم غضبا لله فقال بل غضبا لله ولرسوله فمات فدخل الجنة وما صلى لله صلاة
[Its chain is hasan] Bayhaqi reported it in Dalail Nubuwwah 3/237, from the hadith of Abu Dawud through this same route. Hakim graded it sahih according to the standard of Muslim in Mustadrak 2/113, and Dhahabi agreed with him. Hafiz graded it hasan in Isabah, and the hadith has many corroborating reports.Hammad is Ibn Salama.
