حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعُمَيْسِ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَيْنٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَهْوَ فِي سَفَرٍ، فَجَلَسَ عِنْدَ أَصْحَابِهِ يَتَحَدَّثُ ثُمَّ انْفَتَلَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ اطْلُبُوهُ وَاقْتُلُوهُ ‏"‏. فَقَتَلَهُ فَنَفَّلَهُ سَلَبَهُ.

সালামাহ ইবনু আক্ওয়া (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর কোন এক সফরে মুশরিকদের জনৈক গুপ্তচর তাঁর নিকট এল এবং তাঁর সাহাবীগণের সঙ্গে বসে কথাবার্তা বলতে লাগল ও কিছুক্ষণ পরে চলে গেল। তখন নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন, ‘তাকে খুঁজে আন এবং হত্যা কর।’ নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তার মালপত্র হত্যাকারীকে প্রদান করলেন। (মুসলিম ৩২/১৩ হাঃ ১৭৫৩, আহমাদ ১৬৫২৩) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২৮২৩, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
