Shortly after the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, had announced his
intent, he sent Talha and Sa'id, the son of Zayd to reconnoiter the coastal
caravan route near the village of Hawra -- a distance of approximately a hundred
miles from Medina. At Hawra, Talha and Sa'id were met by the friendly chieftain
of the Juhaynah who offered them his protection and concealed them in his
house until Abu Sufyan's had caravan passed by.
CONSPIRACY OF THE ALLIED:
Despite their alliance, the hypocrites and leaders of those outside the fold of
Islam conspired against the Prophet and sent word to Abu Sufyan alerting him of
the impending raid. When the news reached him he was so alarmed that he hired
Damdam, the son of Amr Al Ghifari to hasten on to Mecca to rally the support of
the Koraysh with the message that they must join him immediately in defense of
their property as he feared the raid to be imminent.
