حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْخَنْدَقِ وَرَجُلٌ يَتَتَرَّسُ جَعَلَ يَقُولُ بِالتُّرْسِ هَكَذَا فَوَضَعَهُ فَوْقَ أَنْفِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ هَكَذَا يُسَفِّلُهُ بَعْدُ قَالَ فَأَهْوَيْتُ إِلَى كِنَانَتِي فَأَخْرَجْتُ مِنْهَا سَهْمًا مُدَمًّا فَوَضَعْتُهُ فِي كَبِدِ الْقَوْسِ فَلَمَّا قَالَ هَكَذَا يُسَفِّلُ التُّرْسَ رَمَيْتُ فَمَا نَسِيتُ وَقْعَ الْقِدْحِ عَلَى كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنْ التُّرْسِ قَالَ وَسَقَطَ فَقَالَ بِرِجْلِهِ فَضَحِكَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِمَ قَالَ لِفِعْلِ الرَّجُلِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1620
It was narrated from 'Amir bin Saad that his father said: On the day of al-Khandaq, there was a man who was shielding himself with his shield, doing something like this with it; he would put it over his nose, then do something like this, and then put it down. I stretched my hand out towards my quiver and took out a blood- stained arrow, which I placed on the string of my bow. When he did something like this, and lowered his shield, I shot the arrow. I have never forgotten how it hit the shield, and he (the man) fell and started kicking with his foot. The Prophet of Allah (PBUH) smiled - i [the narrator} think he said: so broadly that his eyeteeth could be seen- I said: Why? He said: Because of what that man did.
