{{Quote|{{Quran|2|286}}|Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that which it hath earned, and against it (only) that which it hath deserved. Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget, or miss the mark! Our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as thou didst lay on those before us! Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! Pardon us, absolve us and have mercy on us, Thou, our Protector, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk.}}

There were among their people some of their shaykhs who remained in their polytheistic religion, among whom was 'Amr b. al-Jamuh b. Zayd b. Haram b. Ka'b b. Ghanm b. Salimah, whose son Mu'adh b. 'Amr had been present at al-'Aqabah and had sworn an oath of allegiance to the Messenger of God along with others of their young men. Those members of the Aws and the Khazraj who took the oath of allegiance at the second al-'Aqabah took the pledge of war, when, in contrast to the terms of the first al-'Aqabah, God permitted fighting. The first was the pledge of women, as I have mentioned above on the authority of 'Ubadah b. al-Samit. The second pledge of al-'Aqabah was to wage war against all men, as I have mentioned above on the authority
of 'Urwah b. al-Zubayr.}}


{{Quote|{{Tabari|7|p. 55}}|Allah's Messenger went out to his men and incited them to fight. He promised, ‘Every man may keep all the booty he takes.' Then Muhammad said, ‘By Allah, if any man fights today and is killed fighting aggressively, going forward and not retreating, Allah will cause him to enter Paradise.' Umayr said, ‘Fine, fine. This is excellent! Nothing stands between me and my entering Paradise except to be killed by these people!' He seized his sword, and fought until he was slain.}}

He was the first Muslim to be killed. Then Harithah b. Suragah, one of the Banu 'Adi b. al-Najjar, was struck by an arrow as he was drinking at the cistern and was killed. Then the Messenger of God went out to his men and urged them to battle. He promised every man that he could keep all the booty he took, and then said, "By him in whose hands Muhammad's soul rests, if any man fights them today and is killed, fighting steadfastly and with resignation, going forward and not turning back, then God will cause him to enter Paradise." 'Umayr b. al-Humam, the brother of the Banu alimah, who was holding some dates in his hand and eating them, said, "Excellent! All that stands between me and entering Paradise is being killed by these people!" Then he threw down the dates, took his sword, and fought the enemy until he was killed, reciting the following lines:<br>
:I hasten to God without provision except fear of God and working for the Hereafter
:And patience in God in the struggle, for every other provision is liable to be exhausted
:Except for fear of God, piety and right guidance.<br>
According to Ibn Humayd--Salamah--Muhammad b. Ishaq--'Asim b. 'Umar b. Qatadah: 'Awf b. al-Harith, known as Ibn 'Afra', said, "O Messenger of God, what makes the Lord laugh with joy at his servant?" He replied, "Plunging his hand into the enemy without armour." So he took off a coat of mail he was wearing and threw it away; then he took his sword and fought the enemy until he was killed.}}
