:You count war in the holy month as a grave matter,
:But graver is, if one judges rightly,
:Your opposition to Muhammad's teaching, and your
:Unbelief in it, which God sees and witnesses,
:Your driving God's people from his mosque
:So that none can be seen worshipping Him there,
:Though you defame us for killing him,
:More dangerous to Islam is the sinner who envies.
:Our lances drank of Ibn al-Hadrami's blood
:In Nakhla when Waqid lit the flame of war,
:'Uthman ibn 'Abdullah is with us,
:A leather band streaming with blood restrains him.}}

When he saw me he said, 'Come to us when you have finished going round the temple.' When I had finished I went and sat with them, and he said,
Banu 'Abdu 'l-Muttalib, since when have you had a prophetess among you?' 'And what do you mean by that?' I said. 'That vision which 'Atika saw,' he answered. I said, 'And what did she see?' He said, 'Are you not satisfied that your men should play the prophet that your women should do so also. 'Atika has alleged that in her vision someone said, "Come forth to war in three days." We shall keep an eye on you these three days, and if what she says is true, then it will be so; but if the three days pass and nothing happens, we will write you down as the greatest liars of the temple people among the Arabs.' Nothing much had passed between us except that I contradicted that and denied that she had seen anything. Then we separated. When night came every single woman of B. 'Abdu'I-Muttalib came to me and said, 'Have you allowed this evil rascal to attack your men, and then go on to insult your women while you listened? Have you no shame that you should listen to such things?' I said, 'By God, I have done something; nothing much passed between us but I swear by God that I will confront him, and if he repeats what he has said, I will rid you of him. On the third day after 'Atika's vision, while I was enraged, thinking that I had let something slip which I wanted to get from him, I went into the mosque and saw him, and as I was walking towards him to confront him so that he should repeat some of what he had said and I could attack him, for he was a thin man with sharp features, sharp tongue, and sharp sight, lo, he came out towards the door of the mosque hurriedly, and I said to myself, 'What is the matter with him, curse him, is all this for fear that I should insult him?' But lo, he had heard something which I did not hear, the voice of Damdam crying out in the bottom of the wadi, as he stood upon his camel, having cut its nose, turned its saddle round, and rent his shirt, while he was saying, 'O Quraysh, the transport camels, the transport camels! Muhammad and his companions are lying in wait for your property which is with Abu Sufyan. I do not think that you will overtake it. Help! Help!' This diverted him and me from our affair."}}
