In charge of the booty he put 'Abd Allah b. Ka'b b. Zayd b. 'Awf b. Mabdhul b. 'Amr b. Mazin b. al-Najjar. Then he himself advanced, halting when he had emerged from the defile of al-Safra' at a sand dune called Sayar between the defile and al-Naziyah beside a sarh tree. There he divided equally the booty which God had bestowed upon the Muslims from the polytheists. After water had been brought to him from the spring there called al-Arwaq, he travelled on. When he was at al-Rawha', the Muslims met him, congratulating him and the Muslims with him on the victory which God had given them. | ||
According to Ibn Humayd-Salamah-Muhammad b. Ishaq -'Asim b. 'Umar b. Qatadah and Yazid b. Ruman: Salamah b. Salamah b. Waqsh said, "What are they congratulating us on? By God, we met nothing but bald old women like hobbled sacrificial camels, so we slaughtered them." The Messenger of God smiled and said, "My nephew, those were the mala'." | |||
The polytheist captives were with the Messenger of God, and there were forty-four of them. There was a similar number of dead.' Among the captives were 'Ugbah b. Abi Mu'ayt and alNadr b. al-Harith b. Kaladah,"' but when the Messenger of God was at al-Safra' he had al-Nadr b. al-Harith killed by 'Ali b. Abi Talib.}}{{Quote|{{Tabari|8|p. 93}}|According to Waqidi, in this month, the Messenger sent out Ukkashah with forty men to raid Ghamr. He traveled quickly, but the enemy became aware and fled. He sent out scouts and they captured a spy who guided them to some of their cattle. They took two hundred head back to Medina.}}{{Quote|{{Tabari|8|p. 116}}|So Muhammad began seizing their herds and their property bit by bit. He conquered home by home. The Messenger took some of its people captive, including Safiyah and her two cousins. The Prophet chose Safiyah for himself.|See Also Ishaq:511}}{{Quote|{{Tabari|8|p. 117}}|The Banu Sahm of Aslam came to the Messenger and complained, ‘Muhammad, we have been hurt by drought and possess nothing.' Although they had fought for the Prophet they found he had nothing [he was willing] to give them. The Apostle said, ‘O Allah, You know their condition—I have no strength and nothing [I want] to give them. So conquer for them the wealthiest of the Khaybar homes, the ones with the most food and fat meat.'}}{{Quote|{{Tabari|9|p. 3}}|Since the Hawazin and Thaqif had marched with their women, children, and flocks, Allah granted them as booty to His Messenger, who divided the spoils among those Quraysh who had recently embraced Islam.}}{{Quote|{{Tabari|7|p. 71}}|Among the captives was Abu Wada.
