English translation
2654. It was reported from Iyās bin Salamah (who said): "My father narrated to me, he said: "I fought in the battle against Hawāzin with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and while we were having a meal in the morning — as most of us were on foot and some of us were weak — a man came on a red camel. He took out a leather strap from the loin of the camel, and tied his camel with it, then came to eat with the people. When he saw their weakness, and lack of mounts, he went hastily to his camel, untied it, made it kneel down, and sat on it, he then left, galloping quickly. A man from Aslam followed him on a brown she-camel which was among the best mounts they had. I went out galloping till I caught up with him. The head of the she-camel was at the hip of the camel, and I was at the hip of the she-camel, then I proceeded further, until I was at the hip of the camel, then I proceeded further, until I was able to take the reign of the camel and make it kneel down. As soon as it put its knee down on the earth, I drew my sword and hit the man on his head and he fell down. I then came back, leading the camel with the equipment on top. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ met me with the people. He said: 'Who killed the man?' They said: 'Salamah bin Al-Akwa'." Then he said: 'He gets all his spoils.'" Hārūn (one of the narrators) said: "This is Hāshim's version." (Sahih)
