عَنْ سَلْمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَذَكَرَ قِصَّةَ إِغَارَةِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْفَزَارِيِّ عَلَى سَرْحِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاسْتِنْقَاذِهِ مِنْهُ قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْرُ فُرْسَانِنَا الْيَوْمَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ وَخَيْرُ رِجَالَتِنَا سَلَمَةُ فَأَعْطَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَهْمَ الرَّاجِلِ وَالْفَارِسِ جَمِيعًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him), then he mentioned the incident of ‘Abdur Rahman Fazari raiding the livestock of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and their protection. Sayyiduna Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When we reached the morning, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Today Abu Qatadah proved to be the best horseman and Salamah the best foot soldier.” Thus, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me the share of both the foot soldier and the horseman.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa‘ radi Allahu anhu was on foot, while the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave him the share of both a foot soldier and a horseman. This was given to him due to his greater exertion and his display of bravery.
