Amr bin Uqaysh had given out loans with interest during the days of ignorance, 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 the sons of so-and-so?"They replied, "At Uhud."He asked, "Where is so-and-so?"They replied, "At Uhud."He asked, "And where is so-and-so?" naming his paternal uncle.They replied, "At Uhud."So he put on his armor, mounted his horse, and headed toward them. When the Muslims saw him, they said, "Keep 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 and said to Amr's sister, "Ask him, was it out of zeal for your people, or anger on their behalf, or anger for the sake of Allah?"He answered, "It was anger for the sake of Allah and His Messenger."Then he died and entered Paradise, though he had never prayed a single prayer to Allah.
أن عمرو بن أقيش كان له ربا في الجاهلية، فكره أن يسلم حتى يأخذه، فجاء يوم أحد، فقال: أين بنو؟ قالوا: بأحد قال: أين فلان؟ قالوا: بأحد، قال: فأين فلان؟ عمي 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، فجاء سعد بن معاذ فقال لأخته: سليه: حمية لقومك أو غضبا لهم، أم غضبا لله؟ فقال: غضبا الله ولرسوله! فمات، فدخل الجنة وما صلى الله صلاة.
Narrated by Abu Dawud (2537), Hakim (2/113), and from him Bayhaqi (9/167), via the route of Musa bin Ismail, who said, Hammad narrated to us, Muhammad bin Amr informed us, from Abu Salama, from Abu Hurairah, who said, "..." as mentioned before.This is a hasan isnad because of Muhammad bin Amr, who is al-Laythi, for his hadith is hasan. Hakim said, "A sahih hadith meeting the criteria of Muslim." Al-Hafiz graded it hasan in al-Isabah, saying, "This is a hasan isnad."I say, Abu Hurairah did not narrate it as a connected report, but it does come as a connected report in the hadith that follows.
