Narrater: (Salama) Hadidth No: (278)
I went out of Medina towards Al-Ghaba. When I reached the mountain path of Al-Ghaba, a slave of Abdur-Rahman bin Auf met me. I said to him, ''Woe to you! What brought you here?'' He replied, ''The she-camels of the Prophet have been taken away.'' I said, ''Who took them?'' He said, ''Ghatafan and Fazara.'' So, I sent three cries, ''O Sabaha-h ! O Sabahah !'' so loudly that made the people in between its (i.e. Medina's) two mountains hear me. Then I rushed till I met them after they had taken the camels away. I started throwing arrows at them saying, ''I am the son of Al-Akwa''; and today perish the mean people!'' So, I saved the she-camels from them before they (i.e. the robbers) could drink water. When I returned driving the camels, the Prophet met me, I said, ''O Allah's Apostle Those people are thirsty and I have prevented them from drinking water, so send some people to chase them.'' The Prophet said, ''O son of Al-Akwa', you have gained power (over your enemy), so forgive (them). (Besides) those people are now being entertained by their folk.''
