As for al-Wagidi, he asserts that the Messenger of God's expedition to Dhat al-Riqa' was in Muharram in Year Five of the Hijrah (which began July 2, 626). He says that it was called Dhat al-Riqa' because the mountain after which it was named, Dhat al-Riqa' (the patchwork mountain) had black, white, and red patches on it. The Messenger of God left 'Uthman b. 'Affan in charge of Medina during this expedition}} | As for al-Wagidi, he asserts that the Messenger of God's expedition to Dhat al-Riqa' was in Muharram in Year Five of the Hijrah (which began July 2, 626).

Give us your order concerning it, for we do not wish to deviate from your plan." The Messenger of God went down into the trench with Salman, and we nine climbed up onto its side. The Messenger of God took the pickaxe from Salman and struck the rock a blow that cracked it, and a flash of lightning shot out, illuminating everything between the two tracts of black stones-that is, Medina 's two tracts of black stones-like a lamp inside a dark room. The Messenger of God shouted, "God is greatest! "-a shout of victory-and the Muslims, too, shouted, "God is greatest!" Then the Messenger of God struck it again and cracked it, and a flash of lightning shot out, illuminating everything between Medina's two tracts of black stones-like a lamp inside a dark room. The Messenger of God shouted, "God is greatest!"-a shout of victory-and the Muslims, too, shouted, "God is greatest!" Then the Messenger of God struck it a third time and broke it, and a flash of lightning shot out, illuminating everything between Medina's two tracts of black stones-like a lamp inside a dark room. The Messenger of God shouted, "God is greatest!"-a shout of victory-and the Muslims, too, shouted, "God is greatest!" Then he took Salman's hand and climbed out. Salman said: "You are as dear to me as father and mother, Messenger of God! I have seen something I never saw before." The Messenger of God turned to the men and asked, "Did you see what Salman says?" They said: "Yes, Messenger of God, you who are as dear to us as father and mother; we saw you strike and lightning come out like waves. We saw you shout 'God is greatest,' and so we shouted 'God is greatest.' We saw nothing else." "You have spoken truly," he said. "I struck my first blow, and what you saw flashed out, so that the palaces of al-Hirah and al-Mada'in of Kiss lit up for me from it as if they were dogs' teeth, and Gabriel informed me that my nation would be victorious over them. Then I struck my second blow, and what you saw flashed out, so that the palaces of the pale men in the land of the Byzantine lit up for me from it as if they were dogs' teeth, and Gabriel informed me that my nation would be victorious over them. Then I struck my third blow, and what you saw flashed out, so that the palaces of San'a' lit up for me from it as if they were dogs ' teeth, and Gabriel informed me that my nation would be victorious over them, [saying]: "Rejoice; victory shall come to them! Rejoice; victory shall come to them! Rejoice; victory shall come to them!" So the Muslims rejoiced and said: "Praise be to God! The promise of One who is true and faithful! He has promised us victory after tribulation." So when the allied clans came up, the believers said: "This is what God and His Messenger promised us. God and His Messenger have spoken truly." And it only increased them in faith and surrender. But the hypocrites said: "Do you not wonder? He discourses to you, raises your hopes, and promises you false things. He tells you that from Yathrib he can see the palaces of al-Hirah and al-Mada'in of Kisra and that they will be conquered by you-and this while you are digging the trench and cannot go forth!" So the following [verse of the] Qur'an was revealed: "And when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is sickness were saying, 'God and His Messenger promised us naught but delusion.'"}} | ||
{{Quote|{{Tabari|8|p. 17}}|The Muslims and polytheists stayed in their positions for twenty nights with no fighting except for the shooting of arrows and the siege. When the trial became great for the people, the Messenger sent for the leaders of the Ghatafan [Meccan comrades]. He offered them a third of the date harvest of Medina on condition that they leave. The truce between the sides progressed to the point of drawing up a written document, but there was no witnessing or firm determination to make peace; it was only a matter of maneuvering.}} | {{Quote|{{Tabari|8|p. 17}}|The Muslims and polytheists stayed in their positions for twenty nights with no fighting except for the shooting of arrows and the siege.
