The reciter: Zuhayr ibn Harb narrated to us, 'Umar ibn Yunus al-Hanafi narrated to us, 'Ikrimah ibn 'Ammar narrated to us, Iyas ibn Salama narrated to me, my father Salama ibn al-Akwa' said: .
The Shaykh : I say this is great bravery from the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). This man ran and caught up to the first camel and approached it from the front. Glory be to Allah the Great. We seek help from Allah. Yes.
We went out on a military expedition with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) against the Hawazin. While we were having our midday meal with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a man came riding a red camel. He tethered it, then took a rope from his saddlebag and tied the camel with it. Then he went forward to eat with the people. He kept looking around, and among us were some weak men and some on foot, while some of us were riding. Suddenly, he ran out, went to his camel, untied its tether, then tethered it again and mounted it. He spurred it, and the camel galloped away. A man on a grayish mare pursued him. Salama said: I ran out and caught up to the mare, then I moved forward until I was alongside the camel, then I moved forward until I grabbed the camel's bridle and tethered it. When he put his foot on the ground, I drew my sword and struck the man's head, severing it. Then I brought the camel, leading it with its saddle and weapons on it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to meet me with the people with him. He said: "Who killed the man?" They said: "Ibn al-Akwa'." He said: "He has the right to all of his spoils."
غزونا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم هوازن، فبينا نحن نتضحى مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذ جاء رجل على جمل أحمر، فأناخه، ثم انتزع طلقا من حقبه، فقيد به الجمل، ثم تقدم يتغدى مع القوم، وجعل ينظر وفينا ضعفة ورقة في الظهر، وبعضنا مشاة، إذ خرج يشتد، فأتى جمله، فأطلق قيده ثم أناخه، وقعد عليه، فأثاره فاشتد به الجمل، فاتبعه رجل على ناقة ورقاء، قال سلمة : وخرجت أشتد فكنت عند ورك الناقة، ثم تقدمت حتى كنت عند ورك الجمل، ثم تقدمت حتى أخذت بخطام الجمل فأنخته، فلما وضع ركبته في الأرض اخترطت سيفي، فضربت رأس الرجل، فندر، ثم جئت بالجمل أقوده عليه رحله وسلاحه، فاستقبلني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم والناس معه، فقال : من قتل الرجل ؟ قالوا : ابن الأكوع، قال : له سلبه أجمعThe Shaykh : I say this is great bravery from the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). This man ran and caught up to the first camel and approached it from the front. Glory be to Allah the Great. We seek help from Allah. Yes.
