Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I participated in jihad seven times along with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and fought nine times with the army dispatched by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Once our commander was Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), and once Sayyiduna Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him).
