قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ جَاءَنِي عَمِّي عَامِرٌ فَقَالَ أَعْطِنِي سِلَاحَكَ قَالَ فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ قَالَ فَجِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللّ
َهِ أَبْغِنِي سِلَاحَكَ قَالَ أَيْنَ سِلَاحُكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَعْطَيْتُهُ عَمِّي عَامِرًا قَالَ مَا أَجِدُ شَبَهَكَ إِلَّا الَّذِي قَالَ هَبْ لِي أَخًا أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نَفْسِي قَالَ فَأَعْطَانِي قَوْسَهُ وَمَجَانَّهُ وَثَلَاثَةَ أَسْهُمٍ مِنْ كِنَانَتِهِ

English Translation
Ḥammād ibn Masʿadah narrated to us, from Yazīd — meaning Ibn Abī ʿUbayd — from Salamah, who said: My uncle ʿĀmir came to me and said: Give me your weapons. So I gave them to him. Then I went to the Prophet ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allāh, equip me with weapons. He said: "Where are your weapons?" I said: I gave them to my uncle ʿĀmir. He said: "I find no comparison for you except the one who said: 'Grant me a brother dearer to me than myself.'" Then he gave me his bow, his shield, and three arrows from his quiver.
