Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa' (may Allah be pleased with him): I participated in seven battles along with the Prophet (peace be upon him) and took part in nine expeditions which he sent out (but he himself did not go with them). Sometimes Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was appointed as our leader, and sometimes Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) was appointed as the commander of an army.
