Mirdas also said: [...]
:With strong warriors of Sulaym
:Who obey his orders to the letter,
:Khufaf and Dhakwan and 'Auf whom you would think
:Were black stallions walking among the she-camels
:As though our reddish-white mail and helmets'
:Clothed long-eared lions which meet one another in their lairs.
:By us God's religion is undeniably strong.
:We added a like number to the clan that was with him.
:When we came to Mecca, our banner
:Was like an eagle soaring to dart on its prey
:(Riding) on horses which gazed upwards.
:You would think when they gallop in their bits there is a sound of jinn among them,
:The day we trod down the unbelievers
:And found no deviation or turning from the apostle's order.
:In a battle mid which the people heard only
:Our exhortations to fight and the smashing of skulls
:By swords that sent heads flying from their base
:And severed the necks of warriors at a blow.
:Often have we left the slain cut to pieces
:And a widow crying Alas! over her husband.
:'Tis God not man we seek to please;
:To Him belongs the seen and the unseen.}}


{{Quote|Ishaq:580|We helped Allah’s Apostle, angry on his account, with a thousand warriors. We carried his flag on the end of our lances. We were his helpers, protecting his banner in deadly combat. We dyed it with blood, for that was its color. We were the Prophet’s right arm in Islam. We were his bodyguards before other troops served him. We helped him against his opponents. Allah richly rewarded that fine Prophet Muhammad.}}

{{Quote|Ishaq:583|Since you have made Khalid chief of the army and promoted him, he has become a chief indeed, leading an army guided by Allah. Firmly clad in mail, warriors with lances leveled, we are a strong force not unlike a rushing torrent. We smite the wicked while we swear an oath to Muhammad…fighting in the quest of booty.}}
