Ubayy cried out, "Where is Muhammad? May I not survive if he survives!" When Ubayy spotted the Prophet he galloped toward him and some Muslims tried to prevent him from reaching the Prophet but the Prophet said, "Leave him" and took hold of Al Harith's spear and shook it in such a manner that those around him dispersed in the same way as flies fly off the back of a camel when it shakes itself. Then the Prophet merely scratched Ubayy's neck with the point of the spear and Ubayy lost his balance and fell from his horse. The Prophet took no further action and Ubayy remounted and returned to his camp crying out, "Muhammad has killed me!" Those who attended him back at the camp replied, "There is nothing wrong with you!" He replied, "Anyone would be killed by what I have received! Didn't he say, 'I will kill you?' By Allah, even if he had spat at me, his spittle would have killed me." Ubayy died shortly after on his return to Mecca at a place called Sarif.
