It had not been long since Abu Darr and his family left Medina when riders from Bani Fazarah, amongst whom Uyanah ibn Hisn was also present, made a surprise attack at night, took the camels as spoils, killed Abu Darr’s nephew, took his wife - who was from Bani Ghaffar – as a captive, and beat Abu Darr almost to death. | It had not been long since Abu Darr and his family left Medina when riders from Bani Fazarah, amongst whom Uyanah ibn Hisn was also present, made a surprise attack at night, took the camels as spoils, killed Abu Darr’s nephew, took his wife - who was from Bani Ghaffar – as a captive, and beat Abu Darr almost to death. | ||
Abu Darr narrates the event as such, <blockuote> “We were in our house and the Prophet’s camels had finished grazing for the day. He had milked them at the beginning of the evening and then went to sleep. On Tuesday night, the third of Rabi al-Thani, in the year 6 A.H., Uyanah ibn Hisn al-Fazari along with forty riders surrounded us, attacked us, killed my nephew and spared the life of his wife and three other people with us. While they were busy untying the camels’ knee-bindings to take them, I used the opportunity to escape, noticing that they managed to take all of the camels with them.” <ref name=":1" /> </blockuote> | Abu Darr narrates the event as such, <blockuote> “We were in our house and the Prophet’s camels had finished grazing for the day.
