We fought the Battle of Hawazin along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. (One day) when we were having our breakfast with the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him), a man came riding a red camel. He made it kneel down, extracted a strip of leather from its girth and tethered the camel with it. Then he began to take food with the people and look (curiously around). We were in a poor condition as some of us were on foot (being without any riding animals). All of a sudden, he left us hurriedy, came to his camel, untethered it, made it kneel down, mounted it and urged the beast which ran off with him. A man on a brown rhe-camel chased him (taking him for a spy). Salama (the narrator) said: I followed on foot. I ran on until I was near the thigh of the she-camel. I advanced further until I was near the haunches of the camel. I advanced still further until I caught hold of the nosestring of the camel. I made it kneel down. As soon as it placed its knee on the ground, I drew my sword and struck at the head, of the rider who fell down. I brought the camel driving it along with the man's baggage and weapons. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came forward to meet me and the people were with him. He asked: Who has killed the man? The people said: Ibn Akwa'. He said: Everything of the man is for him (Ibn Akwa').

Salamh (bin Al Akwa’) said “I went on an expedition with the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ against Hawazin and while we were having a meal in the forenoon and most of our people were on foot and some of us were weak, a man came on a red Camel. He took out a rope from the lion of the Camel and tied his Camel with it and began to take meal with the people. When he saw the weak condition of their people and lack of mounts he went out in a hurry to his Camel, untied it made it kneel down and sat on it and went off galloping it. A man of the tribe of Aslam followed him on a brown she Camel which was best of those of the people. I hastened out and I found him while the head of the she Camel was near the paddock of the she Camel. I then went ahead till I reached near the paddock of the Camel. I then went ahead till I caught the Camel’s nose string. I made it kneel. When it placed its knee on the ground, I drew my sword and struck the man on his head and it fell down. I then brought the Camel leading it with (its equipment) on it. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ came forward facing me and asked “Who killed the man? They (the people) said “Salamah bin Akwa’. He said “he gets all his spoil.” Harun said “This is Hashim’s version.

[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Hawazin, and we were sitting and preparing to offer the afternoon prayer. Suddenly, a man on a red camel appeared and took away a camel belonging to one of our companions. He tied it to his own camel and then came and sat with us to eat. He looked at the faces of the people and noticed their softness, and most of them were on foot. When he looked at the faces of the people, he got up and walked away until he reached his camel. He sat on it and began to ride. He was at the forefront of the disbelievers. One of our companions who had embraced Islam followed him on a camel that belonged to him and was white. His name was Iyas, and he said, "I followed him." My father also followed him, and I unsheathed my sword and struck him on the head. Then I brought his camel and rode on it, taking his belongings. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ with the people approached and asked, "Who killed the man?" I said, "I did." He replied, "You have taken all his belongings."

[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a military expedition to Hawazin. While we were sitting for the morning prayer, a man came on a red camel and wrested a saddle from the camel's hump. He then tied his own camel with it and started walking until he sat with us to have breakfast. He looked at the faces of the people and noticed tenderness and most of them were foot soldiers. When he looked at the faces of the people, he marched until he reached his camel and sat on it as if he was a vanguard for the disbelievers. One of us, who embraced Islam, followed him on his own camel. I followed him on foot until I reached the camel's hump, then I moved forward and took hold of the camel's reins. I unsheathed my sword and struck him on the head and then I took his camel and led it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with the people. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Who killed this man?" They said, "Ibn Al-Akwaa did." He said, "May all his belongings be yours." And the wording is according to the narration of Abu Al-Walid.

[Machine] We participated in a battle with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Hawazin. While we were sitting and preparing to offer sacrifices, a man came riding on a red camel and took a she-camel by force from a group of camels. He tied it to his own camel and then came and sat with us to have a meal. He looked at the faces of the people and saw that they appeared soft and most of them were walking. When he looked at the faces of the people, he sneaked away until he reached his own camel, mounted it, and started leading the way for the disbelievers. One man from among us, who had embraced Islam, followed him on his own camel, a gray-colored one. I followed them, running on my feet until I reached the foot of the camel. Then I preceded and took hold of the camel's nose-strap, drew my sword and struck his head. Then I brought his camel and led it along with me as a booty. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me with the people and asked, "Who killed this man?" They replied, "Ibn Al-Akwa." The Prophet ﷺ said, "The booty belongs to you." And the wording of this narration is attributed to Abu Al-Walid.

[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the Hawazin expedition. While we were sacrificing our camels, most of us were on foot except for a few who were weak. Then a man entered riding a red camel and forcefully took a portion of the Prophet's camel's right flank. He tied his camel with it and went towards the people. When he saw their weakness, he released it and rode it. Then he galloped away and a man from the Muslims followed him on a swift female camel from among the ones the people had left behind. I prepared for battle and caught up with him. The head of the camel was next to the flank of the Prophet's camel. I proceeded until I grabbed the reins of the man's camel and made it kneel down. When its knee touched the ground, I unsheathed my sword and struck his neck, severing his head. Then I brought his mount while it was still alive and untied, and I led it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ approached me, facing the people, and asked, "Who killed the man?" They said, "Ibn Al-Akwa". The Prophet said to him, "All of the participants in the spoils agree on it."  

غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ هَوَازِنَ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ نَتَضَحَّى عَامَّتُنَا مُشَاةٌ فِينَا ضَعْفٌ إِذْ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ فَانْتَزَعَ طَلَقًا مِنْ حَقْوِ الْبَعِيرِ؛ فَقَيَّدَ بِهِ جَمَلَهُ ثُمَّ مَالَ إِلَى الْقَوْمِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ضَعْفَهُمْ أَطْلَقَهُ ثُمَّ أَنَاخَهُ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ يَرْكُضُ وَاتَّبَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ وَرْقَاءَ مِنْ ظَهْرِ الْقَوْمِ فَخَرَجْتُ أَعْدُو فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ وَرَأْسُ النَّاقَةِ عِنْدَ وَرِكِ الْبَعِيرِ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمْتُ حَتَّى أَخَذْتُ بِخِطَامِ الْجَمَلِ فَأَنَخْتُهُ فَلَمَّا صَارَتْ رُكْبَتُهُ بِالْأَرْضِ اخْتَرَطْتُ سَيْفِي فَأَضْرِبُهُ فَنَدَرَ رَأْسُهُ فَجِئْتُ بِرَاحِلَتِهِ وَمَا عَلَيْهَا أَقُودُهُ وَاسْتَقْبَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي النَّاسِ مُقْبِلًا فَقَالَ مَنْ قَتَلَ الرَّجُلَ؟ قَالُوا ابْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ قَالَ لَهُ السَّلَبُ أَجْمَعُ  

"عَنْ إِياسِ بْن سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِى أَبِى قَالَ: غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ هَوَازِنَ (* *)، فَبَيْنَما نَحْنُ نَتَضَحَّى وَعَامَّتُنَا مُشَاةٌ، فَبِنَا ضَعَفَةٌ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ فَانْتَزعَ طَلَقًا مِنْ حَقَبِهِ (* * *) فَقَيَّدَ بِهِ جَمَلَهُ رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ يَتَغَذَّى مَعَ الْقَوْمِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ضَعْفَهُمْ وَقِلَّةَ ظَهْرِهِمْ خَرَجَ يَعْدُو إِلَى جَمَلِهِ فَأَطْلَقَهُ (* * * *)، ثُمَّ أَنَاخَهُ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ يَرْكُضُهُ، وَاتَّبَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْ صَحَابَة النَّبِىِّ ﷺ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ وَرْقَاءَ هِىَ أَمْثَلُ ظَهْرِ الْقَوْمِ، فَقَعَدَ فَاتَّبَعَهُ، فَخَرَجْتُ أَعْدو، فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ وَرَأسُ النَّاقَةِ عِندَ وَركِ الْجَمَلِ، وَكُنْتُ عنْدَ وَرِكِ النَّاقَةِ، ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمْتُ حَتَّى أَخَذْتُ بِخِطَامِ الْجَمَلِ فَأَنَخْتُهُ، فَلَمَّا وَضَعَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ بِالأَرْضِ اخْتَرَطْتُ سَيْفِى فَأَضْرِبُ رَأْسَهُ، فَنَدَرَ (* * * * *)، فَجِئْتُ بِرَاحِلَتِهِ

وَمَا عَلَيْها أَقودُهُ، فَأسْتَقْبِلُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مُقْبِلًا، فَقالَ: مَنْ قَتَلَ الرَّجُلَ؟ فَقالُوا: ابْنُ الأَكوَعِ، فَنَفَّلَهُ سَلَبَهُ".
