Narrated Abu Musa:When the Prophet (ﷺ) had finished from the battle of Hunain, he sent Abu Amir at the head of an army to Autas He (i.e. Abu Amir) met Duraid bin As Summa and Duraid was killed and Allah defeated his companions. The Prophet (ﷺ) sent me with Abu 'Amir. Abu Amir was shot at his knee with an arrow which a man from Jushm had shot and fixed into his knee. I went to him and said, "O Uncle! Who shot you?" He pointed me out (his killer) saying, "That is my killer who shot me (with an arrow)." So I headed towards him and overtook him, and when he saw me, he fled, and I followed him and started saying to him, "Won't you be ashamed? Won't you stop?" So that person stopped, and we exchanged two hits with the swords and I killed him. Then I said to Abu 'Amir. "Allah has killed your killer." He said, "Take out this arrow" So I removed it, and water oozed out of the wound. He then said, "O son of my brother! Convey my compliments to the Prophet (ﷺ) and request him to ask Allah's Forgiveness for me." Abu Amir made me his successor in commanding the people (i.e. troops). He survived for a short while and then died. (Later) I returned and entered upon the Prophet (ﷺ) at his house, and found him lying in a bed made of stalks of date-palm leaves knitted with ropes, and on it there was bedding. The strings of the bed had their traces over his back and sides. Then I told the Prophet (ﷺ) about our and Abu Amir's news and how he had said "Tell him to ask for Allah's Forgiveness for me." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for water, performed ablution and then raised hands, saying, "O Allah's Forgive `Ubaid, Abu Amir." At that time I saw the whiteness of the Prophet's armpits. The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "O Allah, make him (i.e. Abu Amir) on the Day of Resurrection, superior to many of Your human creatures." I said, "Will you ask Allah's Forgiveness for me?" (On that) the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah, forgive the sins of `Abdullah bin Qais and admit him to a nice entrance (i.e. paradise) on the Day of Resurrection." Abu Burda said, "One of the prayers was for Abu 'Amir and the other was for Abu Musa (i.e. `Abdullah bin Qais).

Sahih
It is related that Abu Musa said, "When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, finished at Hunayn, he sent Abu 'Amir at the head of an army to Awtas. He met Durayd ibn as-Simma and Durayd was killed and Allah defeated his companions." Abu Musa said, "He sent me with Abu 'Amir and Abu 'Amir was shot in his knee. A man of Jushm shot him with an arrow, I got to him and said, 'Uncle, who has shot you?' He pointed him out to me and said, 'That is my killer who shot me. I made for him and caught him. When he saw him, he retreated and I followed him and started to say to him, 'Are you not ashamed? Won't you stand firm?' He stopped and we exchange two blows with the swords and I killed him. Then I said to Abu 'Amir, 'Allah has killed your person.' He said, 'Pull this arrow out.' I pulled it out and water gushed from it. He said, 'Nephew, give my greeting to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and ask him to ask for forgiveness for me,' and he appointed me as his successor. A short time later he died. I returned and went to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in his house. He was on a bed of mats tied together on top of which was some bedding. The marks of the bed were on his back and sides. I gave him the news and the news about Abu 'Amir and that he said, 'Ask him to ask for forgiveness for me.' He called for water and did wudu' and then raised his hands and said, 'O Allah, forgive 'Ubayd Abu 'Amir!' I saw the whites of his armpits. Then he said, 'O Allah, place above many of the people You have created on the Day of Rising!' I said, 'And ask forgiveness for me!' He said, 'O Allah, fotgive 'Abdullah ibn Qays his wrong actions and admit with a noble entry on the Day of Rising." Abu Burda said, "One of them was for Abu 'Amir and the other for Abu Musa."
