==The event of the raid==

The Prophet sent Imam Ali along with 500 people for this raid. This group traveled at night and hid during the day until they reached a place called Hamj (a watering hole near Fadak, located between Fadak and Khaybar).

While there, they came across a man from the tribe of Bani Sad whom they captured. Ali said to him, <blockquote>“Do you have any information from the community of Bani Sad?”</blockquote> The man replied, <blockquote>“No, I do not.”</blockquote>
