[Machine] Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Rabah, a young boy who was a messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, "I went out with him on the back of Talhah's horse during the day. When we woke up, Abdul Rahman ibn Uyainah attacked the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ back. He asked me, 'O Rabah, take this horse and inform Talhah ibn Ubaydullah and inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that the polytheists have attacked his horse's saddle.' Then I stood on a hill and faced the city and called out to three voices saying, 'O Sabahah.' Then I went after the traces of the people, throwing stones at them as I am the son of Ak'wa and today is the day of breastfeeding. I threw a man with an arrow until it hit his shoulder, and I said, 'Take this, as I am the son of Ak'wa and today is the day of breastfeeding.' By Allah, I kept throwing them and harassing them until a Persian horse approached me. I came to a tree and sat in its shade, then I threw it and harassed them. When the mountain narrowed, they entered a narrow passage, and I climbed the mountain, then I began throwing them with stones. I kept doing that until Allah did not create a camel from the back of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that I did not put it behind me and they were left between me and him. The narration continues until he said, 'I did not leave my place until I saw the riders of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passing through the trees, and the first of them was Al-Akram Al-Asadi, with Abu Qatadah Al-Ansari following him, and behind him was Al-Miqdad ibn Al-Aswad Al-Khindi. So, I took the reins of Al-Akram's horse and said, 'O Al-Akram, the people are few, so be careful that they don't cut you off until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions catch up.' He said, 'O Salamah, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day and you know that Paradise is true and Hellfire is true, then do not stand between me and martyrdom.' So, I let him go and he encountered Abdul Rahman ibn Uyainah and attacked him, and Abdul Rahman attacked his horse and stabbed him, killing him. Abdul Rahman got on his horse and Abu Qatadah caught up to Abdul Rahman and stabbed him, killing him. Abdul Rahman's horse attacked Abu Qatadah, and Abu Qatadah got on the horse of Al-Akram Al-Asadi and they fled."
