It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that when we were returning from Khaybar, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw some fires burning at various places. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, “For what purpose have these fires been lit?” The people replied, “To cook the meat of domesticated donkeys.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Turn over the pots and spill out whatever is in them.” One of the people asked, “O Messenger of Allah! Should we spill out what is in them and also wash the pots?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Then what else?”
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I set out from Madinah Munawwarah to go to “Ghabah.” When I reached its summit, I met a slave of Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him). I asked him: “Hey, what’s the matter? (Why are you so anxious?)” He said: “The she-camels of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) have been snatched.” I asked: “Who has taken them?” He replied: “Abu Ghatfan and Banu Fazarah.” Upon this, I shouted “Ya Sabahah!” three times so loudly that my voice reached both ends of Madinah Munawwarah. Then I set off after them until I caught up with them. Indeed, they had seized the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) she-camels. I began showering arrows upon them and reciting this verse: “I am the son of Akwa’, today is the day to strike fear into the enemies.” Eventually, I recovered those she-camels from them, while they had not yet even drunk water. Then I drove them back and set off for home. On the way, I met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I said: “O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) Those people were still thirsty when I caught up with them before they could drink water, so you should set out after them.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “O son of Akwa’! You have overpowered them (and recovered your property), now deal gently with them. Now, your people will be hosting those people as guests.”
