Hadith 5050

حَدَّثَنَا إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَوَازِنَ وَغَطَفَانَ فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ فَانْتَزَعَ شَيْئًا مِنْ حَقَبِ الْبَعِيرِ فَقَيَّدَ بِهِ الْبَعِيرَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ يَمْشِي حَتَّى قَعَدَ مَعَنَا يَتَغَدَّى قَالَ فَنَظَرَ فِي الْقَوْمِ فَإِذَا ظَهْرُهُمْ فِيهِ قِلَّةٌ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ مُشَاةٌ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَى الْقَوْمِ خَرَجَ يَعْدُو قَالَ فَأَتَى بَعِيرَهُ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ يَرْكُضُهُ وَهُوَ طَلِيعَةٌ لِلْكُفَّارِ فَاتَّبَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا مِنْ أَسْلَمَ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ لَهُ وَرْقَاءَ قَالَ إِيَاسٌ قَالَ أَبِي فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ أَعْدُو عَلَى رِجْلَيَّ قَالَ وَرَأْسُ النَّاقَةِ عِنْدَ وَرِكِ الْجَمَلِ قَالَ وَلَحِقْتُهُ فَكُنْتُ عِنْدَ وَرِكِ النَّاقَةِ وَتَقَدَّمْتُ حَتَّى كُنْتُ عِنْدَ وَرِكِ الْجَمَلِ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمْتُ حَتَّى أَخَذْتُ بِخِطَامِ الْجَمَلِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِخْ فَلَمَّا وَضَعَ الْجَمَلُ رُكْبَتَهُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ اخْتَرَطْتُ سَيْفِي فَضَرَبْتُ رَأْسَهُ فَنَدَرَ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ بِرَاحِلَتِهِ أَقُودُهَا فَاسْتَقْبَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَ النَّاسِ قَالَ مَنْ قَتَلَ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ قَالُوا ابْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَهُ سَلَبُهُ أَجْمَعُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We fought Jihad with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) against Hawazin and Ghatafan. We were sitting at a place when a man came riding a red camel. He took something out from the camel’s saddle and tied his camel with it, then came and started eating lunch with us. He observed our people and saw that our horsemen were few and most of the people were on foot. After making this observation, he ran out, went to his camel, mounted it, and started making it run fast. In fact, he was a spy of the disbelievers. A man from the tribe of Banu Salim mounted his blackish she-camel and chased after him. Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I ran on my feet. The head of that man’s she-camel had reached the hind leg of the spy’s camel, and I was also catching up from behind and had reached level with the hind leg of his she-camel. I went further ahead and became level with the rear part of the spy’s camel. Then I went even further, grabbed the camel’s reins, and commanded it to sit. When the camel placed its knee on the ground, I drew my sword and struck his head, and he fell down. Then I returned with the she-camel. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was coming from the front with some people. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Who killed this man? The people said: Ibn Akwa’. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: All his spoils are for him.
