WE RELATE FROM the Ṣaḥīḥs of al-Bukhārī and Muslim that the Messenger of Allah
said on the Day of Ḥunayn: “I am the Prophet and that is no lie; and I am the son of ‘Abd al-Muṭṭalib.” [1].
We relate in the same Ṣaḥīḥs that Salamah ibn al-Akwa‘
related that when ‘Alī
challenged Marḥabah al-Khaybarī he said: “I am the one whose mother named him Ḥaydar (the Lion).” [2].
We also relate from the same Ṣaḥīḥs that Salamah said, while fighting those who attacked the camels: “I am the son of al-Akwa‘ and this is the day of destruction.” [3].
