:O Rider, I think you will reach Uthayl at dawn of the fifth night if you are lucky. Greet a dead man there for me. Swift camels always carry news from me to thee. (Tell of) flowing tears running profusely or ending in a sob. Can al-Nadr hear me when I call him, how can a dead man hear who cannot speak? O Muhammad, finest child of noble mother, whose sire a noble sire was, 'twould not have harmed you had you spared him. (A warrior oft spares though full of rage and anger.) Or you could have taken a ransom, the dearest price that could be paid. Al-Nadr was the nearest relative you captured with the best claim to be released. The swords of his father's sons came down on him. Good God, what bonds of kinship there were shattered! Exhausted he was led to a cold-blooded death, a prisoner in bonds, walking like a hobbled beast.}}

{{Quote|The Life of Muhammad, Muhammad H. Haykal, pp. 233-234|Mus'ab replied, 'You used to speak all kinds of calumnies against the Book of God and His Prophet; you also used the persecute and harm his companions.' Al Nadr said, 'Had Quraysh taken you captive, I would have never allowed them to kill you as long as I was alive'; to which Mus'ab replied, 'By God I do not believe you; I am not like you; Islam has severed my relations with you.' Al Nadr was the captive of al Miqdad who expected to receive a great ransom from the captive's family...At this the Prophet--may God's blessing be upon him---said: 'Strike his neck. O God, give al Miqdad plenty of Your bounty instead.' Ali ibn Abu Talib executed the Prophet's order with the sword. As the party arrived at Irq al Zubyah, the Prophet ordered the execution of Uqbah ibn Abu Mu'ayt. When Uqbah pleaded, 'Who will take care of my children, O Mohammed?' Mohammed answered, 'The fire.'}}
