Sahih al-Bukhari 4194

It is related that Salama ibn al-Akwa' said, "I went out before the first adhan and the milk camels of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, were being herded at Dhat al-Qarad." He said, "A a slave of 'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn 'Awf met me and said, 'The milk camels of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, have been taken.' I asked, 'Who took them?' He said, 'Ghatafan and Fazara.' I gave three shouts: 'O companions!' so that I made whatever is between the two lava fields of Madina hear me. Then I rushed ahead until I caught up to them while they were watering the camels. As I was an archer, I began to shoot my arrows at them, saying: "'I am the son of al-Akwa' and today is a day when the blameworthy perish!' "I kept on chanting metric words until I rescued the milk camels from them and I also seized thirty cloaks from them." He said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and the people came and I said, 'O Prophet of Allah. I have kept the people from the water and they are thirsty. Send after them straightaway.' He said, 'O son of al-Akwa'! You have been given power, so be kind.'" He said, "Then we returned and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, let me ride behind him on his she-camel until we entered Madina."
