We went on a campaign with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ against Hawazin. While we were having our morning meal with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a man came riding a red camel. He made it kneel, then pulled a leather strap from his saddlebag and tied the camel's leg with it. He then came forward and joined the people for the meal, all the while looking around. Among us were some weak men with poor mounts, and some of us were on foot.Suddenly he rushed off, came to his camel, untied its hobble, made it kneel, mounted it, and drove it into a gallop. The camel sped off with him, and a man on a grey she-camel set off in pursuit.Salama said, I went out running and reached the rear of the she-camel, then advanced until I was at the rear of the camel, then advanced further until I seized the camel's halter and made it kneel. When it placed its knee on the ground, I drew my sword and struck the man's head, sending it flying. Then I came back leading the camel with its saddle and weapons on it.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came toward me with the people, and he asked, "Who killed the man?"They said, "Ibn al-Akwa."He said, "He gets all his spoils."
حدثنا زهير بن حرب حدثنا عمر بن يونس الحنفي حدثنا عكرمة بن عمار حدثني إياس بن سلمة
غزونا مع رسول الله ﷺ هوازن فبينا نحن نتضحى مع رسول الله ﷺ 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 ﷺ والناس معه فقال من قتل الرجل قالوا ابن الأكوع قال له سلبه أجمع
