[4572] 45 - (1754) Abû Salamah bin Al-Akwa’ said: We went out on the campaign to Hawâzin with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. Whilst we were having lunch with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, a man came on a red camel and made it kneel, then he took a piece of leather from his belt and tied the camel with it, then he came and ate with the people, and he started looking around. Among us were those who were weak and had no mounts, and some of us were on foot. Then he rushed out, went to his camel, untethered it, made it kneel and sat on it, then he urged it and the camel took off with him. Another man followed him on a brown she-camel. Salamah said: I went out running, and I was by the haunch of the she-camel, then I went ahead until I was by the haunch of the (other) camel, then I went ahead until I grabbed hold of the camel's reins and made it kneel down. When it placed its knees on the ground I drew my sword and struck the man's head, and he fell down. Then I brought the camel, driving it, and his luggage and weapons were on it. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and the people met me, and he said: "Who killed the man?" They said: Ibn Al-Akwa'. He said: "All his (the slain man's) belongings are his."
