Zuhayr b. Abu Sulma wrote to his brother Ka'b telling him 'that the apostle had killed some of the men in Mecca who had satirized and insulted him and that the Quraysh poets who were left-Ibn aI-Ziba'ra and Hubayra b. Abu Wahb--had fled in all directions. 'If you have any use for your life then come quickly to the apostle, for he does not kill anyone who comes to him in repentance.

+:Let him ever be with the horsemen of the righteous Ansar
+:Who transmit glorious deeds from father to son.
+:The best men are they, sons of the best men
+:Who launch with their arms spears
+:Like long Indian swords,
+:Who peer forward unweariedly
+:With eyes red as burning coals.
+:Who devote their lives to their prophet
+:On the day of hand-to-hand fighting and cavalry attacks.
+:They purify themselves with the blood of infidels;
+:They consider that an act of piety.
+:Their habit is that of thick-necked lions
+:Accustomed to hunt in a valleyed thicket.
+:If you come to them for protection
+:You are as it were in the inaccessible haunts of mountain goats.
+:They smote 'Ali such a blow on the day of Badr
+:As brought the downfall of all Nizar.
+:If people knew all that I know about them
+:Those that dispute with me would recognize the truth of what I say.
+:They are a people who richly feed the night-travellers,
+:Who arrive in a time of dearth.}}
