It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was once sitting in the blessed presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man sneezed.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we set out with Sayyiduna Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him), whom the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had appointed as our leader. We were going to fight against Banu Fazarah. When we reached a place near water, Sayyiduna Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered us, and we camped there. After offering the Fajr prayer, he commanded us to attack the enemy, and we fell upon them and killed many people near that stream. Suddenly, I saw a swift group heading towards the mountain; there were women and children among them. I set off after them, but then I feared that they might reach the mountain before me, so I shot an arrow towards them, which landed between them on the mountain. Then I drove them towards Sayyiduna Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) and brought them back to the stream. Among them was a woman from Banu Fazarah who was wearing a leather cloak, and with her was her daughter, who was one of the most beautiful girls among the Arabs. Sayyiduna Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave that daughter to me as a reward. I did not even lift her veil until we reached Madinah Munawwarah. Even when night fell, I did not remove her veil. The next day, I met the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the marketplace. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me,“Salamah! Give me that woman as a gift.”I replied,“O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! I like her, and I have not even lifted her veil yet.”Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) remained silent and left me. The next day, I again met the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the marketplace, and he repeated his request and made me swear by my father. I swore and said,“O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! I like her, and I have not even lifted her veil yet. But O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Now I give her to you.”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent that girl to the people of Makkah, in whose custody there were many Muslim prisoners. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) offered that girl in exchange for ransom and thus freed those prisoners.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the Battle of Khaybar, my brother (according to another narration, my uncle) fought fiercely in the company of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), but during the battle, his sword slipped and struck himself, and he was martyred by its blade. The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) began to express doubts and whisper among themselves about him, saying that he was killed by his own weapon. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) returned, I said: O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) May I have your permission to recite rajaz poetry? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) granted permission. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Speak thoughtfully. While reciting poetry, I said: By Allah! If it were not for Allah, we would never have been guided, nor given charity, nor prayed. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: You have spoken the truth. I further said: O Allah! Send down tranquility upon us and grant us steadfastness when facing the enemy, for the polytheists have girded themselves against us in rebellion. When I completed my rajaz poetry, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: Who composed these verses? I replied: My brother composed them. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: May Allah’s mercy descend upon him. I said: O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Some people are hesitant to perform his funeral prayer and say that he died by his own weapon. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: He was martyred as a striving mujahid. In another chain, it is also mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Those who are hesitant to perform his funeral prayer are mistaken; he was martyred as a striving mujahid and will receive a double reward. Saying this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gestured with two fingers.

Why are you not pledging allegiance?”I said:“O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I have already pledged allegiance.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Do it again.”The narrator asked:“On what did you pledge allegiance to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that day?”He replied:“On death.”
