A spy from the polytheists came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. After he had eaten, he slipped away.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Go after the man and kill him."The people raced after him. Ubayy could outrun a horse, so he reached the man before the others. He seized the reins of his camel, or its halter, then killed him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ awarded him the man's belongings as spoils.
