Lihyan:<br>
+The apostle stayed in Medina during Dhu'l-Hijja, Muharram, Safar, and the two months of Rabi', and in Jumada'l-Ula, six months after the conquest of Qurayza, he went out against B. Lihyan to avenge his men killed at al-Raji', Khubayb b. 'Adiy and his companions. He made as though he was going to Syria in order to take the people by surprise. He went past Ghurab, a mountain near Medina on the road to Syria, then by Mahis, then by al-Batra; then he turned off to the left and came out by Bin, then by Sukhayratu'l-Yamam, then the track went by the Meccan highroad. He quickened the pace until he came down to Ghuran, the haunts of B. Lihyan. (Ghuran is a wadi between Amaj and 'Usfan extending as far as a village called Saya.) He found that the people had been warned and taken up strong positions on the tops of mountains. When the apostle got there and saw that he had failed to take them by surprise as he had intended, he said, 'Were we to come down to 'Usfan the Meccans would think that we intend to come to Mecca.' So he went out with two hundred riders until he came to 'Usfan, when he sent two horsemen from his companions who went as far as Kura'u'l-Ghamim. Then he turned and went back.<br>
-{{Quote|Ishaq:486|If the Lihyan had remained in their homes they would have met bands of fine fighters, audacious warriors who terrorize. They would have confronted an irresistible force glittering like stars. But they were weasels, sticking to the clefts of rocks instead.}}
+Jabir b. 'Abdullah used to say, 'I heard the apostle say when he set his face towards Medina "Returning repentant if God will, giving thanks to our Lord. I take refuge in God from the difficulties of the journey and its unhappy ending, and the evil appearance of man and beast."'<br>
+The tradition about the raid on B. Lihyan is from 'Asim b. 'Umar b. Qatada and 'Abdullah b. Abu Bakr from 'Abdullah b. Ka'b b. Malik. Ka'b b. Malik said:<br>
+:If B. Lihyan had waited
+:They would have met bands in their settlements, fine fighters.
+:They would have met audacious warriors whose terror fills the way
+:In front of an irresistible force glittering like stars.
+:But they were as weasels who stick to the
+:Clefts of the rocks, which have no means of escape.}}
 {{Quote|Ishaq:489|Do the bastards think that we are not their equal in fighting? We are men who believe there is no shame in killing. We don’t turn from piercing lances. We smite the heads of the haughty with blows that quash the zeal of the unyielding [non-Muslims]. We’re heroes, protecting our war banner. We are a noble force, as fierce as wolves. We preserve our honor and protect our property by smashing heads.}}
