Jafar bin Amr reported,

I set out with Ubaydullah bin Adi bin Khiyar, and when we arrived in Hims, Ubaydullah bin Adi said to me, "Would you like to go to Wahshi and ask him about the killing of Hamza?"I said, "Yes."Wahshi was living in Hims, so we asked about him and were told, "There he is, in the shade of his palace, looking like a bloated waterskin."We approached and stood near him for a moment, then greeted him, and he returned the greeting. Ubaydullah was wrapped in his turban so that Wahshi could see only his eyes and feet.Ubaydullah said, "Wahshi, do you recognize me?"Wahshi looked at him and said, "No, by Allah. I only know that Adi bin Khiyar married a woman called Umm Qital bint Abu al-Is, and she bore him a boy in Mecca. I used to seek a wet-nurse for that boy, and once I carried the child along with his mother and handed him to her. It is as though I am looking at your very feet."Ubaydullah uncovered his face and said, "Will you tell us about the killing of Hamza?"He said, "Yes. Hamza had killed Tuayma bin Adi bin Khiyar at Badr, and my master Jubayr bin Mutim said to me, 'If you kill Hamza in revenge for my uncle, you are free.'When the people went out in the year of Aynayn—Aynayn is a mountain facing Uhud, with a valley between them—I went out with the people to fight. When they formed their ranks for battle, Siba came forward and called out, 'Is there anyone for single combat?'Hamza bin Abdul-Muttalib went out to face him and said, 'Siba, son of Umm Anmar, the cutter of clitorises, do you defy Allah and His Messenger ﷺ?' Then he charged at him, and he was gone like yesterday.I had hidden myself in wait for Hamza beneath a rock. When he came near me, I hurled my spear at him and drove it into his lower abdomen until it came out between his hips. That was the end of him. When the people withdrew, I went back with them and stayed in Mecca until Islam spread there.Then I went out to Taif, and they sent a messenger to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I was told, 'Messengers are not harmed.' So I went out with them until I came before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he saw me, he said, 'Are you Wahshi?'I said, 'Yes.'He said, 'Did you kill Hamza?'I said, 'It happened as you have been told.'He said, 'Can you keep your face away from me?'So I left. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away and Musaylima the Liar emerged, I said, 'I shall go out against Musaylima. Perhaps I will kill him and so make up for Hamza.'I went out with the people, and what happened to him happened. There was a man standing in a gap in a wall, looking like a dusky camel with disheveled hair. I hurled my spear at him and drove it between his breasts until it came out from between his shoulders. Then a man from the Ansar leaped at him and struck him on the crown of the head with his sword."Abdullah bin Fadl said, Sulayman bin Yasar told me that he heard Abdullah bin Umar say, "A slave-girl on the roof of a house cried out, 'Alas, Commander of the Believers has been killed by the black slave!'"

حدثني أبو جعفر محمد بن عبد الله حدثنا حجين بن المثنى حدثنا عبد العزيز بن عبد الله بن أبي سلمة عن عبد الله بن الفضل عن سليمان بن يسار

عن جعفر بن عمرو بن أمية الضمري قال

خرجت مع عبيد الله بن عدي بن الخيار فلما قدمنا حمص قال لي عبيد الله بن عدي هل لك في وحشي نسأله عن قتل حمزة قلت نعم وكان وحشي يسكن حمص فسألنا عنه فقيل لنا هو ذاك في ظل قصره كأنه حميت قال فجئنا حتى وقفنا عليه بيسير فسلمنا فرد السلام قال وعبيد الله معتجر بعمامته ما يرى وحشي إلا عينيه ورجليه فقال عبيد الله يا وحشي أتعرفني قال فنظر إليه ثم قال لا والله إلا أني أعلم أن عدي بن الخيار تزوج امرأة يقال لها أم قتال بنت أبي العيص فولدت له غلاما بمكة فكنت أسترضع له فحملت ذلك الغلام مع أمه فناولتها إياه فلكأني نظرت إلى قدميك قال فكشف عبيد الله عن وجهه ثم قال ألا تخبرنا بقتل حمزة قال نعم إن حمزة قتل طعيمة بن عدي بن الخيار ببدر فقال لي مولاي جبير بن مطعم إن قتلت حمزة بعمي فأنت حر قال فلما أن خرج الناس عام عينين وعينين جبل بحيال أحد بينه وبينه واد خرجت مع الناس إلى القتال فلما أن اصطفوا للقتال خرج سباع فقال هل من مبارز قال فخرج إليه حمزة بن عبد المطلب فقال يا سباع يا ابن أم أنمار مقطعة البظور أتحاد الله ورسوله ﷺ قال ثم شد عليه فكان كأمس الذاهب قال وكمنت لحمزة تحت صخرة فلما دنا مني رميته بحربتي فأضعها في ثنته حتى خرجت من بين وركيه قال فكان ذاك العهد به فلما رجع الناس رجعت معهم فأقمت بمكة حتى فشا فيها الإسلام ثم خرجت إلى الطائف فأرسلوا إلى رسول الله ﷺ رسولا فقيل لي إنه لا يهيج الرسل قال فخرجت معهم حتى قدمت على رسول الله ﷺ فلما رآني قال آنت وحشي قلت نعم قال أنت قتلت حمزة قلت قد كان من الأمر ما بلغك قال فهل تستطيع أن تغيب وجهك عني قال فخرجت فلما قبض رسول الله ﷺ فخرج مسيلمة الكذاب قلت لأخرجن إلى مسيلمة لعلي أقتله فأكافئ به حمزة قال فخرجت مع الناس فكان من أمره ما كان قال فإذا رجل قائم في ثلمة جدار كأنه جمل أورق ثائر الرأس قال فرميته بحربتي فأضعها بين ثدييه حتى خرجت من بين كتفيه قال ووثب إليه رجل من الأنصار فضربه بالسيف على هامته قال قال عبد الله بن الفضل فأخبرني سليمان بن يسار أنه سمع عبد الله بن عمر يقول فقالت جارية على ظهر بيت وا أمير المؤمنين قتله العبد الأسود
