Imam Bukhari : 2799

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَهْطًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَى أَبِي رَافِعٍ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ فَانْطَلَقَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَدَخَلَ حِصْنَهُمْ قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ فِي مَرْبِطِ دَوَابَّ لَهُمْ قَالَ وَأَغْلَقُوا بَابَ الْحِصْنِ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ فَقَدُوا حِمَارًا لَهُمْ فَخَرَجُوا يَطْلُبُونَهُ فَخَرَجْتُ فِيمَنْ خَرَجَ أُرِيهِمْ أَنَّنِي أَطْلُبُهُ مَعَهُمْ فَوَجَدُوا الْحِمَارَ فَدَخَلُوا وَدَخَلْتُ وَأَغْلَقُوا بَابَ الْحِصْنِ لَيْلًا فَوَضَعُوا الْمَفَاتِيحَ فِي كَوَّةٍ حَيْثُ أَرَاهَا فَلَمَّا نَامُوا أَخَذْتُ الْمَفَاتِيحَ فَفَتَحْتُ بَابَ الْحِصْنِ ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ فَأَجَابَنِي فَتَعَمَّدْتُ الصَّوْتَ فَضَرَبْتُهُ فَصَاحَ فَخَرَجْتُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ كَأَنِّي مُغِيثٌ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ وَغَيَّرْتُ صَوْتِي فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ لِأُمِّكَ الْوَيْلُ قُلْتُ مَا شَأْنُكَ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي مَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ فَضَرَبَنِي قَالَ فَوَضَعْتُ سَيْفِي فِي بَطْنِهِ ثُمَّ تَحَامَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى قَرَعَ الْعَظْمَ ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ وَأَنَا دَهِشٌ فَأَتَيْتُ سُلَّمًا لَهُمْ لِأَنْزِلَ مِنْهُ فَوَقَعْتُ فَوُثِئَتْ رِجْلِي فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِي فَقُلْتُ مَا أَنَا بِبَارِحٍ حَتَّى أَسْمَعَ النَّاعِيَةَ فَمَا بَرِحْتُ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ نَعَايَا أَبِي رَافِعٍ تَاجِرِ أَهْلِ الْحِجَازِ قَالَ فَقُمْتُ وَمَا بِي قَلَبَةٌ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ

Narrated to us ['Ali bin Muslim] narrated to us [Yahya bin Zakariya' bin Abi Za'idah] Sa'd narrated to me [my father] from [Abu Ishaq] from [Al Bara' bin 'Azib, may Allah be pleased with them], who Sa'd 'The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sent a group of Ansar to kill Abu Rafi'. One entered their fortress, hid in their stable, and when they locked the gate, they lost a donkey. I joined their search, pretending to look with them. They found it, re-entered, and locked the gate. They placed the keys in a niche I saw. When they slept, I took the keys, opened the gate, and approached him, saying, "O Abu Rafi'." He answered. I altered my voice, struck him, and he cried out. I left, returned as if to help, and Sa'd "O Abu Rafi'," changing my voice. He Sa'd "Woe to your mother, what?s wrong?" I Sa'd "What happened?" He Sa'd "Someone struck me." I thrust my sword into his belly, pressing until it hit bone, then fled, dazed. I reached their ladder to escape but fell, spraining my leg. I joined my companions, saying, "I won?t leave until I hear the death announcement." I heard, "Abu Rafi', merchant of Hijaz, is dead." I stood, despite my pain, and we informed the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.'
