In this year a raiding party led by Zayd b. Harithah went to Hisma in Jumada II. According to [al-Waqidi]--Musa b. Muhammad--his father [Muhammad b. Ibrahim], who said: The beginning of this incident was when Dihyah al-Kalbi came back from the court of Caesar, who had presented Dihyah with gifts of merchandise and clothing. When Dihyah reached Hisma, men from Judham intercepted him and robbed him, leaving him with nothing. He came to the Messenger of God even before entering his own house [in Medina] and informed him. The Messenger of God then sent Zayd b. Harithah to Hisma.}} | In this year a raiding party led by Zayd b. Harithah went to Hisma in Jumada II. According to [al-Waqidi]--Musa b.

According to Ibn Humayd- -Salamah--Ibn Ishaq-'Abdallah b. Abi Bakr, who said: The Messenger of God sent Zayd b. Harithah to Wadi al-Qura, where he encountered the Banu Fazarah. Some of his companions were killed there, and Zayd was carried away wounded from among the slain. One of those killed was Ward b. 'Amr, one of the Band Sa'd b. Hudhaym: he was killed by one of the Banu Badr [b. Fazarah]. When Zayd returned, he vowed that no washing [to cleanse him] from impurity should touch his head until he had raided the Fazarah. After he recovered from his wounds, the Messenger of God sent him with an army against the Banu Fazarah. He met them in Wadi al-Qura and inflicted casualties on them. Qays b. al-Musaliliar al-Ya'muri killed Mas'adah b. Hakamah b. Malik b. Badr and took Umm Qirfah prisoner. (Her name was Falimah bt. Rabi'ah b. Badr. She was married to Malik b. Hudhayfah b. Badr. She was very old woman.) He also took one of Umm Qirfah's daughters and 'Abdallah b. Mas'adah prisoner. Zayd b. Harithah ordered Qays to kill Umm Qirfah, and he killed her cruelly. He tied each of her legs with a rope and tied the ropes to two camels, and they split her in two. Then they brought Umm Qirfah's daughter and 'Abdallah b. Mas'adah to the Messenger of God. Umm Qirfah's daughter belonged to Salamah b. 'Amr b. al-Akwa', who had taken her-she was a member of a distinguished family among her people: the Arabs used to say, "Had you been more powerful than Umm Qirfah, you could have done no more." The Messenger of God asked Salamah for her, and Salamah gave her to him. He then gave her to his maternal uncle, Hazn b. Abi Wahb, and she bore him 'Abd al-Ral}man b. Hazn.<br> | ||
The other version of the story of this expedition-from Salamah b. al-Akwa'-is that its commander was Abu Bakr b. Abi Quhafah. According to al-Hasan b. Yahya--Abu 'Amir--'Ikrimah b. 'Ammar--Iyas b. Salamah--his father [Salamah b. al-Akwa'], who said: The Messenger of God appointed Abu Bakr as our commander, and we raided some of the Banu Fazarah. When we came near the watering place, Abu Bakr ordered us to halt for a rest. After we prayed the dawn prayer, Abu Bakr ordered us to launch the raid against them. We went down to the watering place, and there we killed some people. I saw a group of people, women and children among them, who had almost outstripped us to the mountain; so I sent an arrow between them and the mountain. When they saw the arrow, they stopped, and I led them back to Abu Bakr. Among them was a woman of the Banu Fazarah wearing a worn-out piece of leather. With her was her daughter, among the fairest of the Arabs. Abu Bakr gave me her daughter as booty. When I returned to Medina, the Messenger of God met me in the market and said, "Salamah-how excellent the father who begot you!-give me the woman." I said, "Messenger of God, I like her, by God, and I have not uncovered her garment." He said nothing to me until the next day, when he met me in the market and said, "Salamah-how excellent a father begot you!-give me the woman." I said: "Messenger of God, I have not uncovered her garment. She is yours, Messenger of God." The Messenger of God sent her to Mecca, and with her he ransomed some Muslim captives who were in the hands of the polytheists. (This version of the story comes from Salamah.)<br> | |||
According to Muhammad b. 'Umar [al-Wagidi]: In this year a raiding party led by Kurz b. Jabir al-Fihri set out against the members of the Banu Uraynah who had killed the herdsman of the Messenger of God and driven off camels in Shawwal of the year 6. The Messenger of God sent Kurz with twenty horsemen.}} | |||
