Sahih al-Bukhari 3041

Al-Makki ibn Ibrahim informed us; Yazid ibn Abi 'Ubayd informed us from Salama, who told him: I left Medina heading toward al-Ghaba. When I reached the mountain pass of al-Ghaba, a young servant of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf met me. I said, ‘What is the matter with you?’ He said, ‘The Prophet's milch camels have been taken.’ I asked, ‘Who took them?’ He said, ‘Ghatafan and Fazara.’ I shouted three times so loudly that everyone between Medina's two lava tracts could hear me: ‘Raise the alarm! Raise the alarm!’ Then I charged after them and found they had taken the camels. I began shooting arrows at them, saying, ‘I am Ibn al-Akwa'; today is the day of the suckling young!’ I rescued the camels from them before they could drink. I returned, driving them before me. The Prophet (ﷺ) met me, and I said, ‘Messenger of Allah, the people are thirsty. I prevented them from taking their drink, so send men after them.’ He said, ‘Ibn al-Akwa', you have gained control, so be gentle. These people will be received as guests among their own people.’
