Hadith 16529
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا عَطَسَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ " ثُمَّ عَطَسَ الثَّانِيَةَ أَوْ الثَّالِثَةَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّهُ مَزْكُومٌ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was once sitting in the blessed presence of the Messenger of Allah when a man sneezed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied to him by saying, "May Allah have mercy on you." When he sneezed again, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This man has a cold."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man eating with his left hand, so he said: "Eat with your right hand." He replied, "I am not able to eat with my right hand." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May you not be able to," so after that, his right hand could not reach his mouth.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the battle against Hawazin. The Prophet (peace be upon him) camped at a certain place. A spy from the polytheists came to gather information. At that time, the Prophet (peace be upon him) was having breakfast with his companions. They treated him as a guest and invited him to eat. When the man finished eating, he mounted his ride and set off to warn his companions. A man from the tribe of Aslam, who was riding a fine ash-colored she-camel, went after him, and I also ran out and caught up with him. The she-camel’s head was at the camel’s hindquarters, and I was at the camel’s hindquarters. I moved a little ahead and got close to the camel’s hindquarters, then got a little closer and grabbed the reins of his camel. I made his mount sit down, and when it sat, I struck his neck and killed him. I took his mount and his equipment and drove them towards the Prophet (peace be upon him). On the way, I met the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: Who killed this man? The people said: Ibn Akwa’ did. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: His equipment also belongs to him.
Hadith 16537
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى فَزَارَةَ ، وَخَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ ، حَتَّى إِذَا دَنَوْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ عَرَّسَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، حَتَّى إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا الصُّبْحَ ، أَمَرَنَا فَشَنَنَّا الْغَارَةَ ، فَوَرَدْنَا الْمَاءَ ، فَقَتَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَنْ قَتَلَ وَنَحْنُ مَعَهُ ، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ : فَرَأَيْتُ عُنُقًا مِنَ النَّاسِ فِيهِمْ الذَّرَارِيُّ ، فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَسْبِقُونِي إِلَى الْجَبَلِ ، فَأَدْرَكْتُهُمْ ، فَرَمَيْتُ بِسَهْمٍ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْجَبَلِ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا السَّهْمَ قَامُوا ، فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ فَزَارَةَ عَلَيْهَا قَشْعٌ مِنْ أَدَمٍ مَعَهَا ابْنَةٌ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ الْعَرَبِ ، فَجِئْتُ أَسُوقُهُنَّ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، فَنَفَّلَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَتَهَا ، فَلَمْ أَكْشِفْ لَهَا ثَوْبًا حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ ، ثُمَّ بَاتَتْ عِنْدِي ، فَلَمْ أَكْشِفْ لَهَا ثَوْبًا حَتَّى لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السُّوقِ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا سَلَمَةُ ، هَبْ لِي الْمَرْأَةَ " ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَقَدْ أَعْجَبَتْنِي ، وَمَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا ، قَالَ : فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ الْغَدُ ، لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السُّوقِ ، وَلَمْ أَكْشِفْ لَهَا ثَوْبًا ، فَقَالَ : " يَا سَلَمَةُ ، هَبْ لِي الْمَرْأَةَ ، لِلَّهِ أَبُوكَ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : هِيَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : فَبَعَثَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ ، فَفَدَى بِهَا أُسَرَاءَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَانُوا فِي أَيْدِي الْمُشْرِكِينَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we set out with Sayyiduna Siddiq Akbar, whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had appointed as our leader. We were going to fight against Banu Fazarah. When we reached a place near water, Sayyiduna Siddiq Akbar ordered us and we camped there. After offering the Fajr prayer, he commanded us to attack the enemy, and we fell upon them and killed many people near that stream. Suddenly, I saw a swift group heading towards the mountain, among whom were women and children. I set off after them, but then I feared that they might reach the mountain before me, so I shot an arrow towards them, which landed between them and the mountain. Then I drove them towards Sayyiduna Siddiq Akbar and brought them to him near that stream. Among them was a woman from Banu Fazarah who was wearing a leather cloak, and with her was her daughter, who was one of the most beautiful girls among the Arabs. Sayyiduna Siddiq Akbar gave that daughter to me as a reward. I did not even lift her veil until we reached Madinah Munawwarah. Even when night fell, I did not lift her veil. The next day, I met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the marketplace. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, “Salamah! Give me that woman as a gift.” I replied, “O Messenger of Allah! She is dear to me, and I have not even lifted her veil yet.” Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent and left me. The next day, I again met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the marketplace, and he repeated his request and made me swear by my father. I swore and said, “O Messenger of Allah! She is dear to me, and I have not even lifted her veil yet. But O Messenger of Allah! Now I give her to you.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent that girl to the people of Makkah, in whose custody were many Muslim prisoners. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered that girl in exchange for ransom and thus freed the prisoners.

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي إِيَاسُ ابْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي ، قَالَ : بَارَزَ عَمِّي يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ مَرْحَبًا الْيَهُودِيُّ ، فَقَالَ مَرْحَبٌ : قَدْ عَلِمَتْ خَيْبَرُ أَنِّي مَرْحَبُ شَاكِي السِّلَاحِ بَطَلٌ مُجَرَّبُ إِذَا الْحُرُوبُ أَقْبَلَتْ تَلَهَّبُ ، فَقَالَ عَمِّي عَامِرٌ : قَدْ عَلِمَتْ خَيْبَرُ أَنِّي عَامِرُ شَاكِي السِّلَاحِ بَطَلٌ مُغَامِرُ فَاخْتَلَفَا ضَرْبَتَيْنِ ، فَوَقَعَ سَيْفُ مَرْحَبٍ فِي تُرْسِ عَامِرٍ ، وَذَهَبَ يَسْفُلُ لَهُ ، فَرَجَعَ السَّيْفُ عَلَى سَاقِهِ ، فقَطَعَ أَكْحَلَهُ ، فَكَانَتْ فِيهَا نَفْسُهُ ، قَالَ : سَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ فلَقِيتُ نَاسًا مِنْ صَحَابَةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالُوا : بَطَلَ عَمَلُ عَامِرٍ ، قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ ، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ : فَجِئْتُ إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبْكِي ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، بَطَلَ عَمَلُ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ قَالَ ذَاكَ ؟ " ، قُلْتُ : نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كَذَبَ مَنْ قَالَ ذَاكَ ، بَلْ لَهُ أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ " ، إِنَّهُ حِينَ خَرَجَ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ ، جَعَلَ يَرْجُزُ بِأَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَفِيهِمْ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسُوقُ الرِّكَابَ ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : تَالَلَّهِ لَوْلَا اللَّهُ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا وَلَا تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلَا صَلَّيْنَا إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا إِذَا أَرَادُوا فِتْنَةً أَبَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ عَنْ فَضْلِكَ مَا اسْتَغْنَيْنَا فَثَبِّتْ الْأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لَاقَيْنَا وَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ هَذَا ؟ " ، قَالَ عَامِرٌ ، يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " غَفَرَ لَكَ رَبُّكَ " ، قَالَ : وَمَا اسْتَغْفَرَ لِإِنْسَانٍ قَطُّ يَخُصُّهُ إِلَّا اسْتُشْهِدَ ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَوْ مَتَّعْتَنَا بِعَامِرٍ ، فَقَدِمَ فَاسْتُشْهِدَ ، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ : ثُمَّ إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ، فَقَالَ : " لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ الْيَوْمَ رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ، أَوْ يُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ " ، قَالَ : فَجِئْتُ بِهِ أَقُودُهُ أَرْمَدَ ، فَبَصَقَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي عَيْنِهِ ، ثُمَّ أَعْطَاهُ الرَّايَةَ ، فَخَرَجَ مَرْحَبٌ يَخْطِرُ بِسَيْفِهِ ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ عَلِمَتْ خَيْبَرُ أَنِّي مَرْحَبُ شَاكِي السِّلَاحِ بَطَلٌ مُجَرَّبُ إِذَا الْحُرُوبُ أَقْبَلَتْ تَلَهَّبُ ، فَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رضي الله عنه : أَنَا الَّذِي سَمَّتْنِي أُمِّي حَيْدَرَهْ كَلَيْثِ غَابَاتٍ كَرِيهِ الْمَنْظَرَهْ أُوفِيهِمُ بِالصَّاعِ كَيْلَ السَّنْدَرَهْ ، فَفَلَقَ رَأْسَ مَرْحَبٍ بِالسَّيْفِ ، وَكَانَ الْفَتْحُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the Battle of Khaybar, my uncle challenged Marhab the Jew to a duel. Marhab said, “Khaybar knows that I am Marhab, armed with weapons, brave, and experienced, when the fire of battle blazes.” My uncle ‘Amir also recited these poetic verses: “Khaybar knows that I am ‘Amir, armed with weapons and fearless, plunging into battle.” Sayyiduna Salamah says that ‘Amir and Marhab began to strike at each other in different ways. Marhab’s sword struck ‘Amir’s shield, and ‘Amir struck Marhab with his sword from below, but Sayyiduna ‘Amir’s own sword recoiled and struck himself, cutting his jugular vein, and as a result, he was martyred.
Sayyiduna Salamah says, “I came out and saw some of the noble Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and they were saying, ‘The deed of Sayyiduna ‘Amir has been wasted; he has killed himself.’” Sayyiduna Salamah says, “When I heard this, I came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) weeping and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Has ‘Amir’s deed been wasted?’ The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘Who said this?’ I replied, ‘Some people among your Companions have said so.’ He said, ‘Whoever said it, said wrong; rather, for ‘Amir there is double reward.’”
When ‘Amir set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) towards Khaybar, he began to recite poetic verses: “By Allah! If Allah had not helped us, we would not have been guided, nor would we have given charity, nor would we have prayed. These people intend to rebel against us, but whenever they intend any mischief, we refuse to be part of it. And (O Allah) we are not independent of Your bounty, and keep us steadfast when we meet the enemy, and (O Allah) send down tranquility upon us.” When these poetic verses were heard, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Who is this?” They replied, “O Messenger of Allah! It is ‘Amir.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “May your Lord forgive you.” The narrator says that whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) specifically prayed for forgiveness for someone, that person would surely attain the rank of martyrdom.
Sayyiduna Salamah says that Sayyiduna ‘Umar bin Khattab was on his camel, and when he heard this, he called out in a loud voice, “O Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Why did you not let us benefit from ‘Amir?” Then ‘Amir advanced and was martyred. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to Sayyiduna ‘Ali. He said, “I will give the flag to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him.” Sayyiduna Salamah says, “I brought ‘Ali (supporting him) to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) because ‘Ali’s eyes were sore. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) applied his saliva to Sayyiduna ‘Ali’s eyes, and they were cured at that very moment. He gave him the flag, and Marhab came out saying, ‘Khaybar knows that I am Marhab, armed with weapons, brave, and experienced, when the fire of battle blazes.’”
Then Sayyiduna ‘Ali replied, “I am the one whose mother named me Haidar, like the lion that is terrifying in the forests. I give people a measure greater than a sa’ in exchange.” Sayyiduna Salamah says, “Then Sayyiduna ‘Ali struck Marhab on the head, and he was killed, and Khaybar was conquered at the hands of Sayyiduna ‘Ali.”
Sayyiduna Salamah says, “I came out and saw some of the noble Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and they were saying, ‘The deed of Sayyiduna ‘Amir has been wasted; he has killed himself.’” Sayyiduna Salamah says, “When I heard this, I came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) weeping and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Has ‘Amir’s deed been wasted?’ The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘Who said this?’ I replied, ‘Some people among your Companions have said so.’ He said, ‘Whoever said it, said wrong; rather, for ‘Amir there is double reward.’”
When ‘Amir set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) towards Khaybar, he began to recite poetic verses: “By Allah! If Allah had not helped us, we would not have been guided, nor would we have given charity, nor would we have prayed. These people intend to rebel against us, but whenever they intend any mischief, we refuse to be part of it. And (O Allah) we are not independent of Your bounty, and keep us steadfast when we meet the enemy, and (O Allah) send down tranquility upon us.” When these poetic verses were heard, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Who is this?” They replied, “O Messenger of Allah! It is ‘Amir.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “May your Lord forgive you.” The narrator says that whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) specifically prayed for forgiveness for someone, that person would surely attain the rank of martyrdom.
Sayyiduna Salamah says that Sayyiduna ‘Umar bin Khattab was on his camel, and when he heard this, he called out in a loud voice, “O Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Why did you not let us benefit from ‘Amir?” Then ‘Amir advanced and was martyred. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to Sayyiduna ‘Ali. He said, “I will give the flag to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him.” Sayyiduna Salamah says, “I brought ‘Ali (supporting him) to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) because ‘Ali’s eyes were sore. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) applied his saliva to Sayyiduna ‘Ali’s eyes, and they were cured at that very moment. He gave him the flag, and Marhab came out saying, ‘Khaybar knows that I am Marhab, armed with weapons, brave, and experienced, when the fire of battle blazes.’”
Then Sayyiduna ‘Ali replied, “I am the one whose mother named me Haidar, like the lion that is terrifying in the forests. I give people a measure greater than a sa’ in exchange.” Sayyiduna Salamah says, “Then Sayyiduna ‘Ali struck Marhab on the head, and he was killed, and Khaybar was conquered at the hands of Sayyiduna ‘Ali.”

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَخَرَجْنَا أَنَا وَرَبَاحٌ غُلَامُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، بِظَهْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَخَرَجْتُ بِفَرَسٍ لِطَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ كُنْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُبْدَِّيَهُ مَعَ الْإِبِلِ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ بِغَلَسٍ غَارَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَلَى إِبِلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَقَتَلَ رَاعِيَهَا ، وَخَرَجَ يَطْرُدُهَا هُوَ وَأُنَاسٌ مَعَهُ فِي خَيْلٍ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَبَاحُ ، اقْعُدْ عَلَى هَذَا الْفَرَسِ فَأَلْحِقْهُ بِطَلْحَةَ ، وَأَخْبِرْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أُغِيرَ عَلَى سَرْحِهِ ، قَالَ : وَقُمْتُ عَلَى تَلٍّ فَجَعَلْتُ وَجْهِي مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَدِينَةِ ، ثُمَّ نَادَيْتُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ يَا صَبَاحَاهْ ، ثُمَّ اتَّبَعْتُ الْقَوْمَ مَعِي سَيْفِي وَنَبْلِي ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَرْمِيهِمْ ، وَأَعْقِرُ بِهِمْ ، وَذَلِكَ حِينَ يَكْثُرُ الشَّجَرُ ، فَإِذَا رَجَعَ إِلَيَّ فَارِسٌ جَلَسْتُ لَهُ فِي أَصْلِ شَجَرَةٍ ، ثُمَّ رَمَيْتُ ، فَلَا يُقْبِلُ عَلَيَّ فَارِسٌ إِلَّا عَقَرْتُ بِهِ ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَرْمِيهِمْ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ : أَنَا ابْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ وَالْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ الرُّضَّعِ فَأَلْحَقُ بِرَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ ، فَأَرْمِيهِ ، وَهُوَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ ، فَيَقَعُ سَهْمِي فِي الرَّجُلِ حَتَّى انْتَظَمْتُ كَتِفَهُ ، فَقُلْتُ خُذْهَا وَأَنَا ابْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ وَالْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ الرُّضَّعِ فَإِذَا كُنْتُ فِي الشَّجَرِ أَحْرَقْتُهُمْ بِالنَّبْلِ ، فَإِذَا تَضَايَقَتْ الثَّنَايَا عَلَوْتُ الْجَبَلَ ، فَرَدَيْتُهُمْ بِالْحِجَارَةِ ، فَمَا زَالَ ذَاكَ شَأْنِي وَشَأْنَهُمْ أَتَّبَعُهُمْ فَأَرْتَجِزُ ، حَتَّى مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ شَيْئًا مِنْ ظَهْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا خَلَّفْتُهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِي ، فَاسْتَنْقَذْتُهُ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ ، ثُمَّ لَمْ أَزَلْ أَرْمِيهِمْ حَتَّى أَلْقَوْا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ رُمْحًا ، وَأَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ بُرْدَةً يَسْتَخِفُّونَ مِنْهَا ، وَلَا يُلْقُونَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا إِلَّا جَعَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ حِجَارَةً ، وَجَمَعْتُ عَلَى طَرِيقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى إِذَا امْتَدَّ الضُّحَى ، أَتَاهُمْ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ بَدْرٍ الْفَزَارِيُّ مَدَدًا لَهُمْ ، وَهُمْ فِي ثَنِيَّةٍ ضَيِّقَةٍ ، ثُمَّ عَلَوْتُ الْجَبَلَ ، فَأَنَا فَوْقَهُمْ ، فَقَالَ عُيَيْنَةُ : مَا هَذَا الَّذِي أَرَى ؟ ، قَالُوا : لَقِينَا مِنْ هَذَا الْبَرْحَ ، مَا فَارَقَنَا بِسَحَرٍ حَتَّى الْآنَ ، وَأَخَذَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ فِي أَيْدِينَا ، وَجَعَلَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ ، قَالَ عُيَيْنَةُ : لَوْلَا أَنَّ هَذَا يَرَى أَنَّ وَرَاءَهُ طَلَبًا لَقَدْ تَرَكَكُمْ ، لِيَقُمْ إِلَيْهِ نَفَرٌ مِنْكُمْ ، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ نفرٌ مِنْهُمْ أَرْبَعَةٌ ، فَصَعِدُوا فِي الْجَبَلِ ، فَلَمَّا أَسْمَعْتُهُمُ الصَّوْتَ ، قُلْتُ : أَتَعْرِفُونِي ؟ ، قَالُوا : وَمَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ ، قُلْتُ : أَنَا ابْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ ، وَالَّذِي كَرَّمَ وَجْهَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَطْلُبُنِي مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ فَيُدْرِكُنِي ، وَلَا أَطْلُبُهُ فَيَفُوتُنِي ، قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ : إِنْ أَظُنُّ ، قَالَ : فَمَا بَرِحْتُ مَقْعَدِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى نَظَرْتُ إِلَى فَوَارِسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَخَلَّلُونَ الشَّجَرَ ، وَإِذَا أَوَّلُهُمُ الْأَخْرَمُ الْأَسَدِيُّ ، وَعَلَى أَثَرِهِ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ فَارِسُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَعَلَى أَثَرِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْمِقْدَادُ الْكِنْدِيُّ ، فَوَلَّى الْمُشْرِكُونَ مُدْبِرِينَ ، وَأَنْزِلُ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ ، فَأَعْرِضُ لِلْأَخْرَمِ فَآخُذُ ِعِنَانِ فَرَسِهِ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا أَخْرَمُ ، ائْذَنْ الْقَوْمَ يَعْنِي احْذَرْهُمْ فَإِنِّي لَا آمَنُ أَنْ يَقْطَعُوكَ ، فَاتَّئِدْ حَتَّى يَلْحَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ ، قَالَ : يَا سَلَمَةُ ، إِنْ كُنْتَ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ، وَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ حَقٌّ وَالنَّارَ حَقٌّ ، فَلَا تَحُلْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الشَّهَادَةِ ، قَالَ : فَخَلَّيْتُ عِنَانَ فَرَسِهِ ، فَيَلْحَقُ بِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ ، وَيَعْطِفُ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، فَاخْتَلَفَا طَعْنَتَيْنِ ، فَعَقَرَ الْأَخْرَمُ بِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، وَطَعَنَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَتَلَه ، ُفَتَحَوَّلَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَلى فَرَسِ الْأَخْرَمِ ، فَيَلْحَقُ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ بِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَاخْتَلَفَا طَعْنَتَيْنِ ، فَعُقرَ بِأَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، وَقَتَلَهُ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ ، وَتَحَوَّلَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ عَلَى فَرَسِ الْأَخْرَمِ ، ثُمَّ إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ أَعْدُو فِي أَثَرِ الْقَوْمِ حَتَّى مَا أَرَى مِنْ غُبَارِ صَحَابَةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا ، وَيُعْرِضُونَ قَبْلَ غَيْبُوبَةِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى شِعْبٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ ذُو قَرَدٍ ، فَأَرَادُوا أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا مِنْهُ ، فَأَبْصَرُونِي أَعْدُو وَرَاءَهُمْ ، فَعَطَفُوا عَنْهُ ، وَاشْتَدُّوا فِي الثَّنِيَّةِ ثَنِيَّةِ ذِي نثرٍ وَغَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ ، فَأَلْحَقُ رَجُلًا ، فَأَرْمِيهِ ، فَقُلْتُ : خُذْهَا وَأَنَا ابْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ وَالْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ الرُّضَّعِ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : يَا ثُكْلَ أُمِّ ، أَكْوَعُ بَكْرَةً ، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، أَيْ عَدُوَّ نَفْسِهِ ، وَكَانَ الَّذِي رَمَيْتُهُ بَكْرَةً ، فَأَتْبَعْتُهُ سَهْمًا آخَرَ ، فَعَلِقَ بِهِ سَهْمَانِ ، وَيَخْلُفُونَ فَرَسَيْنِ ، فَجِئْتُ بِهِمَا أَسُوقُهُمَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمَاءِ الَّذِي حَلَّيْتُهُمْ عَنْهُ ذُوْ قَرَدٍ ، فَإِذَا بِنَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي خَمْسِ مِئَةٍ ، وَإِذَا بِلَالٌ قَدْ نَحَرَ جَزُورًا مِمَّا خَلَّفْتُ ، فَهُوَ يَشْوِي لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ كَبِدِهَا وَسَنَامِهَا ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، خَلِّنِي فَأَنْتَخِبَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ مِئَةً فَآخُذَ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ عَشْوَةً ، فَلَا يَبْقَى مِنْهُمْ مُخْبِرٌ إِلَّا قَتَلْتُهُ ، قَالَ : " أَكُنْتَ فَاعِلًا ذَلِكَ يَا سَلَمَةُ ؟ " ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، وَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَكَ ، فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ نَوَاجِذَهُ فِي ضُوءِ النَّارِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّهُمْ يُقْرَوْنَ الْآنَ بِأَرْضِ غَطَفَانَ ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ غَطَفَانَ ، فَقَالَ : مَرُّوا عَلَى فُلَانٍ الْغَطَفَانِيِّ فَنَحَرَ لَهُمْ جَزُورًا ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا أَخَذُوا يَكْشِطُونَ جِلْدَهَا رَأَوْا غَبَرَةً ، فَتَرَكُوهَا وَخَرَجُوا هُرّاَبًا ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " خَيْرُ فُرْسَانِنَا الْيَوْمَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ ، وَخَيْرُ رَجَّالَتِنَا سَلَمَةُ " ، فَأَعْطَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَهْمَ الرَّاجِلِ وَالْفَارِسِ جَمِيعًا ، ثُمَّ أَرْدَفَنِي وَرَاءَهُ عَلَى الْعَضْبَاءِ رَاجِعِينَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهَا قَرِيبًا مِنْ ضَحْوَةٍ ، وَفِي الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كَانَ لَا يُسْبَقُ جَعَلَ يُنَادِي هَلْ مِنْ مُسَابِقٍ ؟ أَلَا رَجُلٌ يُسَابِقُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ؟ فَأَعَادَ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا ، وَأَنَا وَرَاءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُرْدِفِي ، قُلْتُ لَهُ : أَمَا تُكْرِمُ كَرِيمًا ، وَلَا تَهَابُ شَرِيفًا ؟ ، قَالَ : لَا ، إِلَّا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي ، خَلِّنِي فَلَأُسَابِقَ الرَّجُلَ ، قَالَ : " إِنْ شِئْتَ " ، قُلْتُ : أَذْهَبْ إِلَيْكَ ، فَطَفَرَ عَنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ ، وَثَنَيْتُ رِجْلَيَّ فَطَفَرْتُ عَنِ النَّاقَةِ ، ثُمَّ إِنِّي رَبَطْتُ عَلَيْهَا شَرَفًا أَوْ شَرَفَيْنِ ، يَعْنِي اسْتَبْقَيْتُ نَفْسِي ، ثُمَّ إِنِّي عَدَوْتُ حَتَّى أَلْحَقَهُ ، فَأَصُكَّ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ بِيَدَيَّ ، قُلْتُ سَبَقْتُكَ وَاللَّهِ أَوْ كَلِمَةً نَحْوَهَا ، قَالَ : فَضَحِكَ ، وَقَالَ : إِنْ أَظُنُّ ، حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the time of Hudaybiyyah, we were coming along with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). I and the Prophet’s slave Rabah set out behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). I took the horse of Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaidullah, intending to join it with the camels. But in the darkness before dawn, Abdur Rahman bin Uyainah attacked the camels of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), killed the shepherd, and, along with his companions, mounted on horses, drove away the camels. Sayyiduna Salamah says: I said, “O Rabah! Take this horse and deliver it to Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaidullah and inform the Messenger of Allah that the polytheists have looted your camels.” Then I stood on a hillock and, facing towards Madinah, I called out in a very loud voice, “Ya Sabahah!” Then (after that) I set out after those robbers, shooting arrows at them and reciting rajaz poetry: “I am the son of Akwa’, and today is the day of these wretches’ destruction.” Sayyiduna Salamah says: By Allah! I kept shooting arrows at them continuously and kept wounding them. Whenever any of their riders turned towards me, I would come under a tree and sit at its root, then shoot him with an arrow, which would wound him. This continued until they entered a narrow mountain pass, and I climbed the mountain and started throwing stones at them from above. Sayyiduna Salamah says: I kept pursuing them until there was not a single camel that Allah had created and which belonged to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that I had not left behind me. Sayyiduna Salamah says: Then I kept shooting arrows at them until, to lighten their load, they threw away thirty cloaks and more than thirty spears, except that whatever they threw, I would mark it with stones like a mile-marker so that the Messenger of Allah and his companions would recognize it, until they reached a narrow pass and Uyainah bin Badr al-Fazari also joined them. All the people sat down to eat lunch, and I sat on the top of the mountain. Fazari said, “Who is this man watching us?” The people said, “This man has greatly troubled us. By Allah! Since the dark night, he has taken everything we had.” Fazari said, “Let four of you stand up against him and kill him.” Sayyiduna Salamah says: (Upon hearing this) four men from among them climbed the mountain towards me. When they reached a distance where they could hear me, I said to them, “Do you recognize me?” They said, “Who are you?” I replied, “I am Salamah bin Akwa’, and by the One who honored the noble face of Sayyiduna Muhammad, I can kill whichever of you I wish, and none of you can kill me.” One of them said, “Yes, it seems so.” (Then they all turned back from there, and) I had not yet moved from my place when I saw the horsemen of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) coming, who had entered among the trees. Sayyiduna Salamah says: At the front of them was Sayyiduna Akhram Asadi, behind him was Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah, and behind him was Sayyiduna Miqdad bin Aswad Kindi. Sayyiduna Salamah says: I went and grabbed the reins of Akhram’s horse. (Upon seeing this) the robbers fled. I said, “O Akhram, be careful of them, lest they kill you before the Messenger of Allah and his companions arrive.” Akhram said, “O Abu Salamah! If you believe in Allah and the Last Day, and you are certain that Paradise is true and Hell is true, then do not stand between me and my martyrdom.” I left him, and then Akhram confronted Abdur Rahman Fazari. Akhram wounded Abdur Rahman’s horse, and Abdur Rahman struck Akhram with a spear and martyred him, then mounted Akhram’s horse. Meanwhile, the horseman of the Messenger of Allah, Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah, arrived (when he saw this scene), and Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah struck Abdur Rahman Fazari with a spear and killed him. I kept pursuing them, and I was running on foot in such a way that I could not see any companion of Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) behind me, nor even their dust, until those robbers, before sunset, came to a valley in which there was water. That valley is called Dhi Qarad, so that they could drink water from it because they were thirsty. Sayyiduna Salamah says that they...

Yazid bin Abu Ubaid says that I used to come to the mosque with Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’, and he would pray near the pillar that was close to the Mushaf, and he would say that I have seen the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) praying with care near this pillar. At that time, a goat could pass between the pulpit and the qiblah.
