حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، قَالَ: غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَوَازِنَ، قَالَ: فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَتَضَحَّى وَعَامَّتُنَا مُشَاةٌ فِينَا ضَعَفَةٌ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ فَانْتَزَعَ طَلَقًا مِنْ (٢) حَقَبِهِ فَقَيَّدَ بِهِ جَمَلَهُ ـ رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ (٣) ـ ثُمَّ جَاءَ يَتَغَدَّى مَعَ الْقَوْمِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ضَعْفَهُمْ وَرِقَّةَ ظَهْرِهِمْ خَرَجَ إِلَى جَمَلِهِ فَأَطْلَقَهُ، ثُمَّ أَنَاخَهُ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ، فَخَرَجَ يَرْكُضُ (٤) وَاتَّبَعَهُ (٥) رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْ صَحَابَةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ وَرْقَاءَ هِيَ أَمْثَلُ ظَهْرِ الْقَوْمِ فَأَتْبَعَهُ، قَالَ: وَخَرَجْتُ أَعْدُو فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ وَرَأْسُ النَّاقَةِ عِنْدَ وَرِكِ الْجَمَلِ، وَكُنْتُ عِنْدَ وَرِكِ، ، النَّاقَةِ، ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمْتُ حَتَّى كُنْتُ عِنْدَ وَرِكِ الْجَمَلِ، ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمْتُ حَتَّى أَخَذْتُ بِخِطَامِ الْجَمَلِ فَأَنَخْتُهُ، فَلَمَّا وَضَعَ رُكْبَتَهُ إِلَى (١) الْأَرْضِ اخْتَرَطْتُ سَيْفِي فَأَضْرِبُ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ فَنَدَرَ، فَجِئْتُ بِرَاحِلَتِهِ وَمَا عَلَيْهَا أَقُودُهُ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُقْبِلًا قَالَ: " مَنْ قَتَلَ الرَّجُلَ؟ "، قَالُوا: ابْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ، قَالَ: " لَهُ سَلَبُهُ أَجْمَعُ " (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) in the jihad against Hawazin. The Prophet (ﷺ) camped at a certain place. A spy from the polytheists came to gather information. At that time, the Prophet (ﷺ) 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 him. The head of the she-camel was at the rump of the camel, and I was at the rump of the she-camel. I moved a little ahead and got close to the rump of the camel, 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 (ﷺ). On the way, I met the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) asked: Who killed this man? The people said: Ibn Akwa’ did. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: His equipment also belongs to him.
