Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Iyas bin Salamah narrates from his father that I participated in the battle against Hawazin with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. We were eating breakfast, and most of our people were on foot, and among us were weak people as well, when a man riding a red camel came. He threw a leather rope from the saddle of his (camel), and a young man tied his camel with it. Then he came and ate food with the people. When he saw the weakness and small number of the people, he ran towards his camel, untied it, made it sit down, mounted it, and began to spur the camel on. One of the companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who belonged to Banu Aslam, followed him on a she-camel. I chased after the fleeing man. When the Banu Aslam man's she-camel came close to the man's camel, I went ahead and grabbed the camel's bridle. As soon as he dismounted, I killed the man. Then I brought the mount and its equipment to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The Prophet asked, "Who killed this man?" The people replied, "Ibn Akwa' did." So he gave me his equipment and belongings.
