Ibn Hishām(7) said: It lies within the region of Ḥismā. Its cause—according to Ibn Isḥāq and others—was that when Dihyah ibn Khalīfah returned from the Byzantine emperor after conveying to him the Messenger of Allah’s ﷺ letter inviting him to Allah, the emperor presented him with gifts and tokens of honor. When he reached a valley in the land of Judhām called Shanār, Hunayd ibn ʿAwṣ and his son ʿAwṣ ibn Hunayd, both of the Ḍulayʿ clan(8) of Judhām, attacked him and took what he had. A group from Judhām who had embraced Islam rose up, rescued what had been taken from Dihyah, and restored it to him. When Dihyah returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he related what had happened and sought retaliation for the blood of Hunayd and his son.
