The event is mentioned by the Muslim Jurist Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari as follows: Ibn Hisham, Sirah, IV, 99-100, states that he was shot by two brothers, al-'Ala' and Awfa, sons of al-Harith from the Banu Jusham b. Mu'awiyah. One arrow hit his heart, while the other hit his knee. Abu Musa attacked and killed both of them. Ibn Hisham adds another note describing Abu 'Amir's bravery and states that he was challenged to a duel by ten men, all of them brothers. Abu 'Amir accepted the challenge, killed nine of them and allowed the tenth, who later became a Muslim, to escape. Waqidi, Maghazi, III, 915-16, reports a similar story and states that Abu 'Amir killed nine contestants but was killed by the tenth .Ibn Sa' Tabaqat, II/I,109
