:Do the bastards think that we | |||
:Are not their equals in horsemanship? | |||
:We are men who think killing no shame, | |||
:We turn not from the piercing lances. | |||
:We feed the guest with choicest camels' meat | |||
:And smite the heads of the haughty. | |||
:We turn back the conspicuous warriors in their pride | |||
:With blows that quash the zeal of the unyielding. | |||
:With heroes who protect their standard, | |||
:Noble, generous, fierce as jungle wolves. | |||
:They preserve their honour and their goods | |||
:With swords that smash the heads beneath the helms. | |||
:Ask the Banu Badr if you meet them | |||
:What the brethren did on the day of battle. | |||
:Tell the truth to those you meet whenever you come out. | |||
:Conceal not the news in assemblies. | |||
:Say, We slipped away from the claws of the angry lion | |||
:With rage in his heart which he could not work off.}} | |||

The apostle stayed in Medina during the latter part of the Jumada'l-Akhira and Rajab; then he attacked B. al-Mustaliq of Khuza'a in Sha'ban A.H. 6.<br> | |||
'Asim b. 'Umar b. Qatada and 'Abdullah b. Abu Bakr and Muhammad b. Yahya b. Habban each told me a part of the following story: The apostle received news that B. Mustaliq were gathering together against him, their leader being al-Harith b. Abu Dirar, the father of Juwayriya d. al-Harith (afterwards) wife of the apostle. When the apostle heard about them he went out and met them at a watering place of theirs called al-Muraysi' in the direction of Qudayd towards the shore. There was a fight and God put the B. al-Mustaliq to flight and killed some of them and gave the apostle their wives, children, and property as booty. A Muslim of B. Kalb b. 'Auf b. 'Amir b. Layth b. Bakr called Hisham b. Subaba was killed by a man of the Ansar of the family of 'Ubada b. al-Samit who thought he was an enemy and killed him in error.|See Also {{Tabari|8|p. 51}}}} | |||
{{Quote|Ishaq:500|The Messenger said, ‘Woe to the Quraysh! War has devoured them! What harm would they suffer if they left me to deal with the rest of the Arabs? If the Arabs defeat me, that will be what they want. If Allah makes me prevail over the Arabs, the Quraysh can enter Islam [surrender] en masse. Or they can fight. I shall not cease to fight against them for the mission which Allah has entrusted me until Allah makes me victorious or I perish.}} | {{Quote|Ishaq:500|The Messenger said, ‘Woe to the Quraysh!
