According to Ibn Humayd--Salamah--Ibn Islhaq--Sulayman b. Wardan--his father--'Amr b. Umayyah: When I came to Medina, I went past some shaykhs of the Ansar. "By God," they said, "that is 'Amr b. Umayyah!" Some boys heard what they were saying and rushed to the Messenger of God to tell him. I had tied my prisoner's thumbs together with my bowstring, and the Messenger of God looked at him and laughed so that his back teeth could be seen. Then he questioned me and I told him what had happened. "Well done!" he said, and prayed for me to be blessed.}} | According to Ibn Humayd--Salamah--Ibn Islhaq--Sulayman b.

According to 'Ali b. Nasr b. 'Ali and 'Abd al-Warith b. 'Abd al-Samad b. 'Abd al-Warith--'Abd al-Samad b. 'Abd al-Warith--his father--Aban al-'Attar-Hisham b. 'Urwah: 'Urwah wrote to 'Abd al-Malik b. Marwan as follows:<br> | |||
{{ | You have written to me asking about Abu Sufyan and the circumstances of his expedition. Abu Sufyan b. Harb came' from Syria at the head of nearly seventy horsemen from all the clans of Quraysh. They had been trading in Syria and they all came together with their money and their merchandise. The Messenger of God and his companions were informed about them. This was after fighting had broken out between them and people had been killed, including Ibn al-Hadrami at Nakhlah, and some of Quraysh had been فaken captive, including one of the sons of al-Mughirah and their mawla, Ibn Kaysan. Those responsible were 'Abd Allah b. Jahsh and Waqid, the confederate of the Band 'Adi b. Ka'b, together with other companions of the Messenger of God whom he had sent out with 'Abd Allah b. Jahsh. This incident had provoked (a state of) war between the Messenger of God and Quraysh and was the beginning of the fighting in which they inflicted casualties upon one another; it took place before Abd Sufyan and his companions had set out for Syria.<br> | ||
Subsequently Abu Sufyan and the horsemen of Quraysh who were with him returned from Syria, following the coastal road. When the Messenger of God heard about them he called together his companions and told them of the wealth they had with them and the fewness of their numbers. The Muslims set out with no other object than Abu Sufyan and the horsemen with him. They did not think that these were anything but (easy) booty and did not suppose that there would be a great battle when they met them. It is concerning this that God revealed, "And ye longed that other | |||
than the armed one might be yours."<br> | |||
When Abd Sufyan heard that the companions of the Messenger of God were on their way to intercept him, he sent to Quraysh (saying), "Muhammad and his companions are going to intercept your caravan, so protect your merchandise." When Quraysh heard this, since all the clans of Ka'b b. Lu'ayy were represented in Abd Sufyan's caravan, the people of Mecca hastened towards it. The body of men was drawn from the clans comprised in the Banu Ka'b b. Lu'ayy but did not contain any of the clan of 'Amir, except for some of the subclan of Malik b. Hisl. Neither the Messenger of God nor his companions heard about this force from Mecca until the Prophet reached Badr, which was on the route of those horsemen of Quraysh who had taken the coastal road to Syria. Abu Sufyan then doubled back from Badr and kept to the coastal road, being afraid of an ambush at Badr.}} | |||
