حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ وَأَبُو عَامِرٍ عَنْ عِکْرِمَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ أَمَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا أَبَا بَکْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَغَزَوْنَا نَاسًا مِنْ الْمُشْرِکِينَ فَبَيَّتْنَاهُمْ نَقْتُلُهُمْ وَکَانَ شِعَارُنَا تِلْکَ اللَّيْلَةَ أَمِتْ أَمِتْ قَالَ سَلَمَةُ فَقَتَلْتُ بِيَدِي تِلْکَ اللَّيْلَةَ سَبْعَةَ أَهْلِ أَبْيَاتٍ مِنْ الْمُشْرِکِينَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2638
Narrated Salamah ibn al-Akwa: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed Abu Bakr our commander and we fought with some people who were polytheists, and we attacked them at night, killing them. Our war-cry that night was "put to death; put to death. " Salamah said: I killed that night with my hand polytheists belonging to seven houses.
