Salama bin Al-Akwa (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that "An infidel spy came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was on a journey. The spy sat with the companions of the Prophet ﷺ and started talking and then went away. the Prophet ﷺ said (to his companions), 'Chase and kill him.' So, I killed him." the Prophet ﷺ then gave him the belongings of the killed spy (in addition to his share of the war booty)
