Taariikh Nololeed Dhamaystiran

Asim ibn Thabit al-Ansari was one of the most skilled archers among the companions and a man of uncompromising honor. He took a vow never to be touched by a polytheist, nor to touch one, in life or in death. When he was ambushed and killed at Raji', the enemy tried to mutilate his body to claim a bounty, but God sent a swarm of bees to protect his corpse until the river carried it away, fulfilling his oath miraculously.
