peace be upon him, instructed Rabah to go with a herdsman to the water
reservoir of Dhu Qarad, which was a day’s ride from Medina, to pasture his
camels so that they would be well fed and watered before the long hot journey
across the desert and so Rabah, and the herdsman rounded up the camels and
set off for Dhu Qarad.
Unknown to Rabah, Salamah, Al-Akwa’s son had borrowed Talha’s horse,
rounded up his camels and set off for the same water reservoir and when they
met they decided to journey together with their animals to Dhu Qarad.
When night fell, Rabah and Salamah said their Isha prayer then settled their
camels down for the night and went to sleep. Before they awoke the next
morning a bandit by the name of Al-Fazari and some of his tribesmen spotted the
camels, crept up upon the herdsman, killed him and seized all the camels.
The grunts of the camels and all the commotion woke Salamah up and when he
saw what was going on, Salamah urgently cried out to Rabah telling him to take
Talha’s horse and ride as quickly as he could back to Medina and tell the
