It is narrated from Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I challenged a man to a duel and killed him, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) granted me all his equipment as a reward.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ،، ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى رَجُلًا يَأْكُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ فَقَالَ: " كُلْ بِيَمِينِكَ "، فَقَالَ: لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ، فَقَالَ: " لَا اسْتَطَعْتَ "، قَالَ: فَمَا رَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ (١)،

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) saw a man eating with his left hand, so he said: "Eat with your right hand." He replied, "I am not able to eat with my right hand." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "May you not be able to," so after that his right hand could not reach his mouth.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَتَلْتُ رَجُلًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ قَتَلَ هَذَا؟ "، فَقَالُوا: ابْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ، فَقَالَ: " لَهُ سَلَبُهُ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I killed a man. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked: Who has killed him? The people replied: Ibn Akwa‘ has. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: All his equipment now belongs to him.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ، ، سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: " كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غُلَامٌ يُسَمَّى رَبَاحًا " (١)،

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) had a slave whose name was "Rabah".

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ إِيَاسَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، يُحَدِّثُ (٢) عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: " كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْجُمُعَةَ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ فَلَا نَجِدُ لِلْحِيطَانِ فَيْئًا يُسْتَظَلُّ فِيهِ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that we used to perform the Friday prayer with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), then we would return at such a time that we could not find even so much shade in the gardens that a person could benefit from it.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: " بَيَّتْنَا هَوَازِنَ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ وَكَانَ أَمَّرَهُ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we launched a night attack on Banu Hawazin in the company of Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him); the Prophet (ﷺ) had appointed him as our leader.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: " كَانَ شِعَارُنَا لَيْلَةَ بَيَّتْنَا فِي هَوَازِنَ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ أَمَّرَهُ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَمِتْ أَمِتْ "، وَقَتَّلْتُ بِيَدَيَّ لَيْلَتَئِذٍ سَبْعَةً أَهْلَ أَبْيَاتٍ (١)، ،

It is narrated from Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the night when we attacked Banu Hawazin in the company of Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him)—whom the Prophet (ﷺ) had appointed as our leader—the sign for recognizing each other among us was the word "Ummat." That night, I killed seven members of a household with my own hand.

حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ الْيَمَامِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ حَدَّثَهُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لِرَجُلٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ بُسْرُ ابْنُ رَاعِي الْعِيرِ أَبْصَرَهُ يَأْكُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ فَقَالَ: " كُلْ بِيَمِينِكَ "، فَقَالَ: لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ، فَقَالَ: " لَا اسْتَطَعْتَ "، قَالَ: فَمَا وَصَلَتْ يَمِينُهُ إِلَى فَمِهِ (١) بَعْدُ (٢) ، (٣) وقَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: ابْنُ، ، رَاعِي الْعِيرِ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ،

It is narrated from Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) saw a man—whose name was Busar bin Ra’i al-‘Ir—eating with his left hand. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Eat with your right hand." He replied, "I am not able to eat with my right hand." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "May you not be able to." After that, his right hand could not reach his mouth.

حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ سَلَّ عَلَيْنَا السَّيْفَ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا " (١)،

It is narrated from Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Whoever draws a sword against us is not one of us.

حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ،، ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، قَالَ: كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَطَسَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ "، ثُمَّ عَطَسَ أُخْرَى، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الرَّجُلُ مَزْكُومٌ " (١)،

It is narrated from Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was once sitting in the blessed presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when a man sneezed. The Prophet (ﷺ) replied to him by saying, "May Allah have mercy on you." When he sneezed again, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "This man has a cold."

حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ وَأَمَّرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا، قَالَ: غَزَوْنَا فَزَارَةَ فَلَمَّا دَنَوْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ أَمَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَعَرَّسْنَا، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْنَا الصُّبْحَ أَمَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَشَنَيْنَا الْغَارَةَ، فَقَتَلْنَا عَلَى الْمَاءِ مَنْ قَتَلْنَا، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ: ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى عُنُقٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ فِيهِ الذُّرِّيَّةُ وَالنِّسَاءُ نَحْوَ الْجَبَلِ، وَأَنَا أَعْدُو فِي آثَارِهِمْ، فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَسْبِقُونِي إِلَى الْجَبَلِ، فَرَمَيْتُ بِسَهْمٍ فَوَقَعَ، ، بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْجَبَلِ، قَالَ: فَجِئْتُ بِهِمْ أَسُوقُهُمْ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، حَتَّى أَتَيْتُهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ وَفِيهِمْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ فَزَارَةَ، عَلَيْهَا قَشْعٌ مِنْ أَدَمٍ وَمَعَهَا ابْنَةٌ لَهَا مِنْ أَحْسَنِ الْعَرَبِ، قَالَ: فَنَفَّلَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَتَهَا، قَالَ: فَمَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ، ثُمَّ بِتُّ فَلَمْ أَكْشِفْ لَهَا ثَوْبًا، قَالَ: فَلَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السُّوقِ فَقَالَ لِي: " يَا سَلَمَةُ، هَبْ لِي الْمَرْأَةَ "، قَالَ (١) : فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَاللهِ لَقَدْ أَعْجَبَتْنِي وَمَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا، قَالَ: فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَرَكَنِي حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السُّوقِ فَقَالَ: " يَا سَلَمَةُ، هَبْ لِي الْمَرْأَةَ (١) لِلَّهِ أَبُوكَ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَاللهِ أَعْجَبَتْنِي (٢) مَا كَشَفْتُ لَهَا ثَوْبًا وَهِيَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: فَبَعَثَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَفِي أَيْدِيهِمْ أُسَارَى مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَفَدَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِتِلْكَ الْمَرْأَةِ (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we set out with Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him), whom the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had appointed as our leader. We were going to fight against Banu Fazarah. When we reached a place near water, Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered us, and we camped there. After offering the Fajr prayer, he commanded us to attack the enemy, and we fell upon them and killed many people near that stream. Suddenly, I saw a swift group heading towards the mountain; there were women and children among them. I set off after them, but then I feared that they might reach the mountain before me, so I shot an arrow towards them, which landed between them on the mountain. Then I drove them towards Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) and brought them back to the stream. Among them was a woman from Banu Fazarah who was wearing a leather cloak, and with her was her daughter, who was one of the most beautiful girls among the Arabs. Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave that daughter to me as a reward. I did not even lift her veil until we reached Madinah Munawwarah. Even when night fell, I did not remove her veil. The next day, I met the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the marketplace. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me, “Salamah! Give me that woman as a gift.” I replied, “O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! I like her, and I have not even lifted her veil yet.” Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) remained silent and left me. The next day, I again met the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the marketplace, and he repeated his request and made me swear by my father. I swore and said, “O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! I like her, and I have not even lifted her veil yet. But O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Now I give her to you.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent that girl to the people of Makkah, in whose custody there were many Muslim prisoners. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) offered that girl in exchange for ransom and thus freed those prisoners.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: ابْنِ شِهَابٍ (١) ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، أَنَّ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ الْأَكْوَعِ قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ خَيْبَرَ قَاتَلَ أَخِي قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَارْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ سَيْفُهُ فَقَتَلَهُ، فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ، وَشَكُّوا فِيهِ رَجُلٌ مَاتَ بِسِلَاحِهِ شَكُّوا فِي بَعْضِ أَمْرِهِ، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ: فَقَفَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أَرْجُزَ بِكَ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: اعْلَمْ مَا تَقُولُ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ:، وَاللهِ لَوْلَا اللهُ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا ... وَلَا تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلَا صَلَّيْنَا،، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " صَدَقْتَ "،، ، [البحر الرجز]، فَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا ... وَثَبِّتِ الْأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لَاقَيْنَا، وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا،، فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ رَجَزِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ قَالَ هَذَا؟ "، قُلْتُ: أَخِي قَالَهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَرْحَمُهُ اللهُ "، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَاللهِ إِنَّ نَاسًا لَيَهَابُونَ أَنْ يُصَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ، وَيَقُولُونَ: رَجُلٌ مَاتَ بِسِلَاحِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَاتَ جَاهِدًا مُجَاهِدًا "، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ فَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ أَبِيهِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي عَنْهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ مَعَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَهَابُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِ، كَذَبُوا، مَاتَ جَاهِدًا مُجَاهِدًا فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ "، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the Battle of Khaybar, my brother (according to another narration, my uncle) fought fiercely in the company of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), but during the battle, his sword slipped and struck himself, and he was martyred by its blade. The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) began to express doubts and whisper among themselves about him, saying that he was killed by his own weapon. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) returned, I said: O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) May I have your permission to recite rajaz poetry? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) granted permission. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Speak thoughtfully. While reciting poetry, I said: By Allah! If it were not for Allah, we would never have been guided, nor given charity, nor prayed. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: You have spoken the truth. I further said: O Allah! Send down tranquility upon us and grant us steadfastness when facing the enemy, for the polytheists have girded themselves against us in rebellion. When I completed my rajaz poetry, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: Who composed these verses? I replied: My brother composed them. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: May Allah’s mercy descend upon him. I said: O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Some people are hesitant to perform his funeral prayer and say that he died by his own weapon. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: He was martyred as a striving mujahid. In another chain, it is also mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Those who are hesitant to perform his funeral prayer are mistaken; he was martyred as a striving mujahid and will receive a double reward. Saying this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gestured with two fingers.

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) and Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were participating in a jihad, during which a messenger from the Prophet (ﷺ) came to us and said that the Prophet (ﷺ) has said: You may benefit from women.

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we set out for jihad against Banu Hawazin with Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him). Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave me a slave girl as a reward. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, “Salamah! Give that woman to me as a gift.” The Prophet (ﷺ) sent that girl to the people of Makkah, in whose custody there were many Muslim prisoners. The Prophet (ﷺ) offered that girl in exchange for ransom and thus freed those prisoners.

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered a man from the tribe of Aslam on the day of ‘Ashura to announce among the people that whoever is fasting today should complete his fast, and whoever has eaten or drunk something should not eat anything further and should complete the fast until the end of its time.

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for permission to live in the wilderness, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) granted him permission.

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of Hudaybiyyah, I pledged allegiance to the right hand of the Prophet (ﷺ) along with other people, and then sat aside. When the people dispersed from around the Prophet (ﷺ), he said: “Ibn Akwa’! Why are you not pledging allegiance?” I said: “O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! I have already pledged allegiance.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Do it again.” The narrator asked: “On what did you pledge allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) that day?” He replied: “On death.”

حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ: " هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ دَيْنٍ؟ "، قَالُوا: لَا، قَالَ: " هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ "، قَالُوا: لَا، قَالَ: فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِأُخْرَى فَقَالَ: " هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ دَيْنٍ؟ "، قَالُوا: لَا، قَالَ: " هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ "، قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، ثَلَاثَةَ (١) دَنَانِيرَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: بِأَصَابِعِهِ ثَلَاثَ كَيَّاتٍ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِالثَّالِثَةِ، فَقَالَ: " هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ دَيْنٍ؟ "، قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ "، قَالُوا: لَا، قَالَ: " صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ "، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ: عَلَيَّ دَيْنُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) when a funeral was brought. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked: “Did he leave behind any debt?” The people replied, “No.” The Prophet (ﷺ) asked: “Did he leave any inheritance?” The people replied, “No.” The Prophet (ﷺ) led his funeral prayer. Then another funeral was brought and the Prophet (ﷺ) asked the same: “Did he leave behind any debt?” The people replied, “No.” The Prophet (ﷺ) asked: “Did he leave any inheritance?” The people replied, “Yes! Three dinars.” The Prophet (ﷺ) gestured with his fingers and said: “Three marks of Hellfire.” Then a third funeral was brought and the Prophet (ﷺ) asked as before: “Did he leave behind any debt?” The people replied, “Yes!” Then he asked: “Did he leave any inheritance?” The people replied, “Yes!” Then he asked: “Did he leave any inheritance?” The people replied, “No.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Then you should offer the funeral prayer of your companion yourselves.” At this, an Ansari said: “O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! His debt is upon me.” So the Prophet (ﷺ) led his funeral prayer as well.

حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ عَامِرٌ رَجُلًا شَاعِرًا فَنَزَلَ يَحْدُو (١) ، قَالَ: وَيَقُولُ:، [البحر الرجز]، اللهُمَّ لَوْلَا أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا ... وَلَا تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلَا صَلَّيْنَا، فَاغْفِرْ فِداءً لَكَ مَا أَتَيْنَا ... وَثَبِّتِ الْأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لَاقَيْنَا، وَأَلْقِيَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا ... إِنَّا إِذَا صِيحَ بِنَا أَتَيْنَا، وَبِالصِّيَاحِ عَوَّلُوا عَلَيْنَا،، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ هَذَا الْحَادِي؟ "، قَالُوا: ابْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ، ، قَالَ: " يَرْحَمُهُ اللهُ "، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: وَجَبَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَوْلَا أَمْتَعْتَنَا بِهِ، قَالَ: فَأُصِيبَ، ذَهَبَ يَضْرِبُ رَجُلًا يَهُودِيًّا مِنْ إِلٍّ فَأَصَابَ ذُبَابُ السَّيْفِ عَيْنَ رُكْبَتِهِ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ، قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ، قَالَ: فَجِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ أَنْ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ عَامِرًا حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ، قَالَ: " وَمَنْ يَقُولُهُ؟ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: رِجَالٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْهُمْ فُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ، قَالَ: " كَذَبَ مَنْ قَالَهُ، إِنَّ لَهُ لَأَجْرَيْنِ ـ بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ ـ وَإِنَّهُ لَجَاهِدٌ مُجَاهِدٌ، وَقَلَّ عَرَبِيٌّ مَشَى (١) بِهَا يَزِيدُكَ عَلَيْهِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that (my brother) ‘Amir was a poet. When he camped at a place, he began to recite these verses of Hadi: “O Allah! If it were not for You, we would not have been guided, We would not have given charity nor performed prayer. We sacrifice for You; now that we have come, forgive us, And grant us steadfastness when we face the enemy, And send down tranquility upon us. When we are called, we respond, And people trust and rely on us just by calling out to us.” The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, “Who is the reciter of this Hadi?” The people replied, “It is Ibn Akwa’.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “May Allah have mercy on him.” Upon hearing this, a man said, “It has become obligatory, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Why did you not let us benefit from him?” The narrator says that in that very expedition, ‘Amir was martyred. He had advanced to kill a Jew, but the edge of his sword recoiled and struck his own knee, and thus he was martyred.

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered a man from the tribe of Aslam on the day of ‘Ashura to announce among the people that whoever is fasting today should complete his fast, and whoever has eaten or drunk something should not eat or drink anything further and should complete the fast until the end of its time.

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that when we were returning from Khaybar, the Prophet (ﷺ) saw some fires burning at various places. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, “For what purpose have these fires been lit?” The people replied, “To cook the meat of domesticated donkeys.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Turn over the pots and spill out whatever is in them.” One of the people asked, “O Messenger of Allah! Should we spill out what is in them and also wash the pots?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Then what else?”

حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيٌّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ ضَرْبَةٍ فِي سَاقِ سَلَمَةَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ، مَا هَذِهِ الضَّرْبَةُ؟ قَالَ: هَذِهِ ضَرْبَةٌ أُصِبْتُهَا يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ، قَالَ: يَوْمَ أُصِبْتُهَا قَالَ النَّاسُ: أُصِيبَ سَلَمَةُ، " فَأُتِيَ بِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَفَثَ فِيهِ ثَلَاثَ نَفَثَاتٍ "، فَمَا اشْتَكَيْتُهَا حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ، (١)،

Yazid bin Abu Ubaid says that once I saw a scar from a wound on the shin of Salamah bin Akwa’. I asked him, “O Abu Muslim! What is this scar?” He replied, “I received this wound during the Battle of Khaybar. When I was struck, people said, ‘Salamah is finished.’ But then I was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ), and the Prophet (ﷺ) blew on it three times, and since then I have never felt any pain from it again.”

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ الْأَكْوَعِ يَقُولُ: خَرَجْتُ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ مَكِّيٍّ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: وَالْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ الرُّضَّعِ، وَزَادَ فِيهِ: وَأَرْدَفَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ (١)،

Ibrahim ibn Mahdi narrated to us, he said: Hatim—meaning ibn Isma'il—narrated to us, from Yazid ibn Abi Ubaid, he said: I heard Salama ibn al-Akwa' say: I went out, and he mentioned something similar to the hadith of Makki, except that he said: "And today is the day of the suckling children," and he added in it: "And the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, mounted me behind him on his riding animal."

حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيٌّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ آتِي مَعَ سَلَمَةَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَيُصَلِّي مَعَ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ الَّتِي عِنْدَ الْمُصْحَفِ فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ، أَرَاكَ تَتَحَرَّى الصَّلَاةَ عِنْدَ هَذِهِ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ، قَالَ: " فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَحَرَّى الصَّلَاةَ عِنْدَهَا " (٢)، ،

Yazid bin Abu Ubaid (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I used to come to the mosque with Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him), and he would pray near the pillar that was close to the Mushaf. I asked him: O Abu Muslim! I see you giving special attention to this pillar; what is the reason for this? He replied: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) praying with special attention near this pillar.

It is narrated from Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: May Allah keep the tribe of Aslam safe, and may Allah forgive the tribe of Ghifar. By Allah! I do not say this; this is what Allah says.

Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we came with the Messenger of Allah to the place of Hudaybiyyah, and we were fourteen hundred in number, and we had fifty goats with us, which were not getting enough water. The narrator says that the Messenger of Allah sat at the edge of the well, and either he supplicated or he put his saliva into it. The narrator says that then the water in the well began to gush forth. Then we watered our animals and ourselves as well. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) called us to pledge allegiance under the root of a tree. The narrator says that among the people, I was the first to pledge allegiance, then others did so, until when half the people had pledged, he said: “Salamah, pledge allegiance.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah! I have already pledged allegiance first of all.” He said: “Then do it again.” And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw that I had no weapon or anything with me, so he gave me a shield. (After that) the process of pledging allegiance started again. When all the people had pledged, he said: “O Salamah! Did you not pledge allegiance?” I said: “O Messenger of Allah! I was the first among the people to pledge, and I also pledged among the people.” He said: “Then do it again.” Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I pledged allegiance for the third time. Then he said to me: “O Salamah! Where is the shield I gave you?” I said: “O Messenger of Allah! My uncle ‘Amir had no weapon, so I gave him that shield.” Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) smiled and said: “You are like the man who was the first to supplicate, ‘O Allah! Grant me a friend who is dearer to me than my own soul.’” Then the polytheists sent us a message for reconciliation, until people from each side began to go to the other, and we made peace. Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was in the service of Talhah bin ‘Ubaydullah, and I used to water his horse, graze it, serve him, and eat with him, because I had migrated to Allah and His Messenger, leaving my family and my wealth behind. Then, when peace was established between us and the people of Makkah, and people began to mix with each other, I came to a tree, cleared the thorns from under it, and lay down at its root. Meanwhile, four men from the polytheists of Makkah came and began to speak ill of the Messenger of Allah. I became very angry at these polytheists, so I moved to another tree, and they hung their weapons and lay down. While they were in this state, suddenly a caller from the valley below shouted: “O Muhajirun! Ibn Zunaim has been martyred!” As soon as I heard this, I drew my sword and attacked those four while they were sleeping, took their weapons, bundled them together in my hand, and said: “By the One Who honored the noble face of Muhammad, none of you should raise his head, otherwise I will strike you in the part between your two eyes.” The narrator says: Then I dragged them to the Messenger of Allah, and my uncle ‘Amir also brought seventy men from the polytheists with Ibn Makraz to the Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) looked at them and then said: “Let them go, for the beginning of the dispute was from their side, and the repetition was also from their side.” In short, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forgave them, and Allah the Exalted revealed this blessed Ayah: “And He it is Who withheld their hands from you and your hands from them in the valley of Makkah after He had given you victory over them.” Then we set out towards Madinah. On the way, we stopped at a place where a mountain stood between us and the polytheists of Banu Lihyan. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) supplicated for forgiveness for the man who would climb the mountain and keep watch for the Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions. Salamah says: I climbed that mountain two or three times. Then we reached Madinah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent his camels with Rabah, who was the slave of the Messenger of Allah. I also set out with those camels, riding on the horse of Abu Talhah. When morning came, ‘Abdur Rahman Fazari...

At that time, the Prophet (ﷺ) was having breakfast with his companions. He invited the man (posing as a guest) to eat as well. When the man finished eating, he mounted his ride and set off to warn his companions. I pursued him, made his mount sit down, and struck his neck. The Prophet (ﷺ) gave me his equipment as a reward.

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.

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever deliberately attributes a false statement to me, he should make his abode in the Hellfire.

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that we set out towards Khaybar with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). One of the people said, “O ‘Amir! Recite for us some verses of Huda (camel-driving poetry).” He dismounted and began to recite poetry, and he recited this verse: “By Allah, if Allah had not been (with us), we would not have been guided.” He also recited other verses which I do not remember. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked, “Who is the reciter of this Huda?” The people replied, “‘Amir bin Akwa’.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “May Allah have mercy on him.” Then a man said, “O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Why did you not let us benefit from him?” Anyway, when the people lined up for battle, during the fighting, ‘Amir was struck by the edge of his own sword and died from it. When night fell, the people lit many fires. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked, “What is this fire and for what has it been lit?” The people replied, “For the domesticated donkeys.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Throw away whatever is in them and break the pots.” A man asked, “Can we not pour out what is in the pots and then wash them?” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “And what else?”

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered a man from the tribe of Aslam on the day of ‘Ashura to announce among the people that whoever is fasting today should complete his fast, and whoever has eaten or drunk something should not eat or drink anything further and should complete the rest of the day as a fast until the time of breaking the fast.

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) when a funeral was brought. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked: “Did he leave behind any debt?” The people replied, “No.” The Prophet (ﷺ) asked: “Did he leave any inheritance?” The people replied, “No.” The Prophet (ﷺ) led his funeral prayer. Then another funeral was brought and the Prophet (ﷺ) asked the same: “Did he leave behind any debt?” The people replied, “No.” The Prophet (ﷺ) asked: “Did he leave any inheritance?” The people replied, “Yes, three dinars.” The Prophet (ﷺ) pointed towards his fingers and said: “Three marks of Hell.” Then a third funeral was brought and the Prophet (ﷺ) asked as before: “Did he leave behind any debt?” The people replied, “Yes!” Then he asked: “Did he leave any inheritance?” The people replied, “No!” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Then you should offer the funeral prayer of your companion yourselves.” At this, an Ansari companion whose name was Abu Qatadah said: “O Messenger of Allah! His debt is upon me.” So the Prophet (ﷺ) led his funeral prayer as well.

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) passed by a group from the tribe of Aslam who were practicing archery in the market. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "O Banu Isma’il! Keep practicing archery, for your forefather (Isma’il, peace be upon him) was an archer. Practice archery, and I will join such-and-such group." Upon this, the other party withdrew their hands. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Shoot your arrows." They said, "O Messenger of Allah! How can we shoot when you are with them?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Shoot your arrows, for I am with all of you."
