 {{Quote|{{Tabari|7|p. 85}}|Muhammad killed many Quraysh polytheists at Badr.|See Also Ishaq 288}}
-{{Quote|Ishaq:281|The Raid on Waddan was the first Maghazi [invasion]. The Expedition of Harith was second. They encountered a large number of Quraysh in the Hijaz. Abu Bakr composed a poem about the raid: ‘When we called them to the truth they turned their backs and howled like bitches. Allah’s punishment on them will not tarry. I swear by the Lord of Camels that I am no perjurer. A valiant band will descend upon the Quraysh which will leave women husbandless. It will leave men dead, with vultures wheeling round. It will not spare the infidels.}}

+:Could you not sleep because of the spectre of Salma in the sandy valleys,
+:And the important event that happened in the tribe?
+:You see that neither admonition not a prophet's call
+:Can save some of Lu'ayy from unbelief;
+:A truthful prophet came to them and they gave him the lie,
+:And said, 'You shall not live among us.'
+:When we called them to the truth they turned their backs,
+:They howled like bitches driven back panting to their lairs;
+:With how many of them have we tries of kinship,
+:Yet to abandon piety did not weigh upon them;
+:If they turn back from their unbelief and disobedience
+:(For the good the lawful is not like the abominable);
+:If they follow their idolatry and error
+:God's punishment on them will not tarry;
+:We are men of Ghalib's highest stock
+:From which nobility comes through many branches;
+:I swear by the lord of camels urged on at even by singing,
+:Their feet protected by old leather thongs,
+:Like the red-backed deer that haunt Mecca
+:Going down to the well's slimy cistern;
+:I swear, and I am no perjurer,
+:If they do not quickly repent of their error,
+:A valiant band will descend upon them,
+:Which will leave women husbandless.
+:It will leave dead men, with vultures wheeling round,
+:It will not spare the infidels as Ibn Harith did.
+:Give the Banu Sahm with you a message
+:And every infidel who is trying to do evil;
+:If you assail my honour in your evil opinion
+:I will not assail yours.}}
 {{Quote|Ishaq:288|When the Qur’an:passage concerning this matter was revealed, and Allah relieved Muslims from their fear and anxiety, Muhammad took possession of the caravan and prisoners. The Quraysh sent him a ransom and the Prophet released the prisoners on payment. When the Qur’an:authorization came down to Muhammad, Abd Allah and his Companions were relieved and they became anxious for an additional reward. They said, ‘Will this raid be counted as part of the reward promised to Muslim combatants?’ So Allah sent down this Qur’an: ‘Those who believe and have fought in Allah’s Cause may receive Allah’s mercy.’ Allah made the booty permissible. He divided the loot, awarding four-fifths to the men He had allowed to take it. He gave one-fifth to His Apostle.}}
