It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) camped at a certain place. Meanwhile, a spy from the polytheists arrived while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions were eating their midday meal. The companions invited him towards the food. When he finished eating, he mounted his ride and quickly started to return, as he wanted to alert his companions. Sayyiduna Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I ran after him, caught up with him, made his camel sit down, and struck his neck, killing him. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me his belongings as spoils of war.
