Narrated Salama: 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.
