{{Quote|{{Al Tirmidhi||3|19|1618}}|Narrated Anas bin Malik: That '''the Prophet would not attack except near the time of Fajr, so if he heard the Adhan he would refrain, and if not, then he would attack.''' So he listened one day and heard a man saying: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar," so he said: "Upon the Fitrah." Then he said: "I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah."

Thabit:
:Were it not for what our horses suffered and what hurt their frogs
:As they were led to the south of Saya last night,
:They would have met you as they carried well-armed warriors
:Noble in ancestry protecting their standard,
:And the bastards would have rejoiced that we
:Did not fight when Miqdad's horsemen came.
:We were eight; they were a great force
:Loud-voiced yet pricked by (our) lances (and) scattered.
:We were of the people who followed them
:And we gave free rein to every noble steed.
:Yea, by the Lord of the camels that go to Mina
:Traversing the great mountain passes (we will pursue you)
:Till we make the horses stale' in the midst of your dwellings
:And come back with your women and children,
:Walking gently with every swift horse and mare
:That turns swiftly in every battle.
:A day in which they are led and a day of charges
:Has worn out their quarters and altered the appearance of their backs.
:Our horses are fed on milk
:While war is kindled by passing winds.
:Our sharp swords glittering cut through
:Iron shields and pugnacious heads.
:Allah put obstacles in their way to protect His sacred property
:And to protect His dignity.'
:They lived happily in their home, but
:On the days of Dhu Qarad they were given the faces of slaves.}}

Waqid shot an arrow at Amr and killed him. Uthman and al-Hakam surrendered. Then Waqid and his companions took the caravan and the captives back to Allah’s Apostle in Medina. This was the first booty taken by the Companions of Muhammad.}}
