Background

Muhammad ordered Abu Amir al-Ashari to chase the enemies who fled during the Battle of Hunayn, Abu Musa (who is Abu Amir's nephew was among them). Abu Amir chased them but was killed in the expedition. The standard was then taken by Abu Musa Al-Ashari who became the commander of the army battalion.

Expedition

Abu Musa chased the enemy and killed them. He also captured captives, men, women and children, as well as war booty.{{citation|title=Miracles of the messenger |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3QiahukyiSYC&pg=PA177| first=Strauch|last=Sameh|year=2003|publisher=Darussalam Research Division

The event is mentioned by the Muslim Jurist Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari as follows:

Abu Musa pursued him, calling out [loudly], "Aren't you ashamed of (yourself)? Aren't you an Arab? Won't you make a stand?" So he turned back. They confronted each other and exchanged two blows. Abu Musa killed him with his sword and returned to Abu ' Amir telling him that God had killed his enemy. Abu 'Amir asked him to remove the arrow [from his knee], and when he removed it water flowed from [the wound]....

He then appointed Abu Musa in charge of the Army and died shortly thereafter

[Tabari, The Last Years of the Prophet, Pg 17]

The event is also mentioned in the Sunni Hadith collections and .
