The Expedition of Hunayn:

Yunus reports from Ibn Ishaq: ʿAsim ibn ʿUmar narrated to me from ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Jabir ibn ʿAbd Allah, from his father; and ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb, al-Zuhri, and ʿAbd Allah ibn Abi Bakr also related to me the account of Hunayn, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out against them and they advanced against him. Each reporter mentions details the others omit, but their versions concur on the following:

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had completed the Conquest of Mecca, ʿAwf ibn Malik al-Nasri mustered Banu Nasr, Banu Jushm, Banu Saʿd ibn Bakr, detachments from Banu Hilal—though they were few—men of Banu ʿAmr ibn ʿAmir, ʿAwf ibn ʿAmir, and the whole of Thaqif, the confederates, together with Banu Malik.

He marched with all of them toward the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, bringing along their wealth, women, and children. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard of this, he dispatched ʿAbd Allah ibn Abi Hadrad al-Aslami, saying, “Go among the people and bring us intelligence about them.” He mingled with them and stayed a day or two, then returned and informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ of their condition.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to ʿUmar ibn al-Khattab, “Do you not hear what Ibn Abi Hadrad is saying?” ʿUmar replied, “He is lying.” Ibn Abi Hadrad said, “By Allah, O ʿUmar, if you call me a liar, you have often denied the truth.”

ʿUmar said, “Do you not hear, O Messenger of Allah, what Ibn Abi Hadrad is saying?” The Prophet ﷺ replied, “O ʿUmar, you were once astray, and Allah guided you.”

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then sent to Safwan ibn Umayyah and asked him for the coats of mail he possessed—one hundred coats along with their fittings. Safwan said, “Are you taking them by force, O Muhammad?” He replied, “Rather, it is a guaranteed loan.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then set out on his march.
