حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ ، حَدَّثَنِي إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : أَغَارَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَلَى إِبِلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَتَلَ رَاعِيَهَا فَخَرَجَ يَطْرُدُهَا هُوَ وَأُنَاسٌ مَعَهُ فِي خَيْلٍ ، فَجَعَلْتُ وَجْهِي قِبَلَ الْمَدِينَةِ ، ثُمَّ نَادَيْتُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ : يَا صَبَاحَاهُ ، ثُمَّ اتَّبَعْتُ الْقَوْمَ فَجَعَلْتُ أَرْمِي وَأَعْقِرُهُمْ فَإِذَا رَجَعَ إِلَيَّ فَارِسٌ ، جَلَسْتُ فِي أَصْلِ شَجَرَةٍ حَتَّى مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ شَيْئًا مِنْ ظَهْرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا جَعَلْتُهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِي ، وَحَتَّى أَلْقَوْا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ رُمْحًا وَثَلَاثِينَ بُرْدَةً يَسْتَخِفُّونَ مِنْهَا ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُمْ عُيَيْنَةُ مَدَدًا فَقَالَ : لِيَقُمْ إِلَيْهِ نَفَرٌ مِنْكُمْ ، فَقَامَ إِلَيَّ أَرْبَعَةٌ مِنْهُمْ فَصَعِدُوا الْجَبَلَ فَلَمَّا أَسْمَعْتُهُمْ قُلْتُ : أَتَعْرِفُونِي قَالُوا : وَمَنْ أَنْتَ قُلْتُ : أَنَا ابْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ وَالَّذِي كَرَّمَ وَجْهَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، لَا يَطْلُبُنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ فَيُدْرِكُنِي وَلَا أَطْلُبُهُ فَيَفُوتُنِي فَمَا بَرِحْتُ حَتَّى نَظَرْتُ إِلَى فَوَارِسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَخَلَّلُونَ الشَّجَرَ أَوَّلُهُمْ الْأَخْرَمُ الْأَسَدِيُّ ، فَيَلْحَقُ بِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ ، وَيَعْطِفُ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَاخْتَلَفَا طَعْنَتَيْنِ فَعَقَرَ الْأَخْرَمُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ ، وَطَعَنَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَتَحَوَّلَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَلَى فَرَسِ الْأَخْرَمِ ، فَيَلْحَقُ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ بِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَاخْتَلَفَا طَعْنَتَيْنِ فَعَقَرَ بِأَبِي قَتَادَةَ وَقَتَلَهُ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ فَتَحَوَّلَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ عَلَى فَرَسِ الْأَخْرَمِ ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمَاءِ الَّذِي جَلَّيْتُهُمْ عَنْهُ ذُو قَرَدٍ فَإِذَا نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي خَمْسِ مِائَةٍ فَأَعْطَانِي سَهْمَ الْفَارِسِ وَالرَّاجِلِ .
Salamah (bin Al Akwa) said “Abd Al rahman bin ‘Uyainah raided the Camels of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and killed their herdsman. He and some people who were with him on horses proceeded on driving them away. I turned my face towards Madeenah and shouted three times. A morning raid, I then went after the people shooting arrows at them and hamstringing them (their beasts). When a horseman returned to me, I sat in the foot of a tree till there was no riding beast of the Prophet ﷺ created by Allaah which I had not kept behind my back. They threw away more than thirty lance and thirty cloaks to lighten themselves. Then ‘Uyainah came to them with reinforcement and said “A few of you should go to him. Four of them stood and came to me. They ascended a mountain. Then they came near me till they could hear my voice. I told them “Do you know me?” They said “Who are you? I replied “I am Ibn Al Akwa. By Him Who honored the face of Muhammad ﷺ if any man of you pursues he cannot catch me and if I pursue him, I will not miss him. This went on with me till I saw the horsemen of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ coming through the trees. Al Akhram Al Asadi was at their head. He then joined Abd Al Rahman bin ‘Uyainah and Abd Al Rahman turned over him. They attacked each other with lances. Al Akhram hamstrung Abd Al Rahman’s horse and Abd Al Rahman pierced a lance in his body and killed him. Abd al Rahman then returned on the horse of Al Akhram. I then came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was present at the same water from where I drove them away and which is known as Dhu Qarad. The Prophet ﷺ was among five hundred people. He then gave me two portions a horseman’s and a footman’s.
Brief Explanation
1؎: "Ya sabahah": This is the phrase that was commonly used by those seeking help or making a public outcry.
2؎: So he was given three shares or four; he had performed such a deed that many people could not have accomplished. In the narration of Sahih Muslim, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "Among the horsemen today, the best is Abu Qatadah (radi Allahu anhu), and among the foot soldiers, the best is Salamah ibn al-Akwa' (radi Allahu anhu)." Then Salamah ibn al-Akwa' (radi Allahu anhu) said that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) seated me behind him on a she-camel named 'Adhba', and we came to Madinah in this manner. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gave Salamah ibn al-Akwa' (radi Allahu anhu) the share of a horseman and the share of a foot soldier. There are two possibilities in this: one is that he was given four shares, the other is that he was given three shares. The reason for this is that there is a difference of opinion regarding the share of a horseman. According to those who say a horseman receives three shares: one share for himself, and two shares for his horse. And according to those who say a horseman receives two shares: one share for himself, and one share for his horse.
