✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me in a military detachment with some of his companions. A man from the Anṣār and I raced toward the enemy. I attacked a man, and when I approached him, he said 'Allāhu akbar,' so I thrust at him and killed him. I thought he only did that to protect his blood. When we returned, he preceded me to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, there is no horseman better than your horseman. We pursued a man, and he got to him before me, so he said Allāhu akbar, and that did not prevent him from killing him.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'O Usāmah, what did you do today?' I said, 'I attacked a man, and he said Allāhu akbar, and I thought he only did that to protect his blood, so I killed him.' He said, 'How, after Allāhu akbar? Why did you not split open his heart?' I said, 'What did he say?' He kept saying to me that day, 'I will not fight a man who says Allāhu akbar,' from what he prohibited me, until I meet him ﷺ.
