Bayhaqi 18096 — The killing of Abu Rafi Abdullah bin Abi al-Huqayq

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، وَأَبُو عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ، ثنا إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: " أَمَّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَغَزَوْنَا نَاسًا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَبَيَّتْنَاهُمْ فَقَتَلَهُمْ، وَكَانَ شِعَارُنَا تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ أَمِتْ أَمِتْ، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ: فَقَتَلْتُ بِيَدِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ سَبْعَةَ أَهْلِ أَبْيَاتٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ".
Iyas bin Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) as our commander in a campaign against the polytheists. We attacked them at night and killed them, and our watchword that night was 'Amit, amit' (Kill, kill). Sayyiduna Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: That night I killed with my own hand the members of seven households of the polytheists.
