until the prayer reached its conclusion. After the prayer, Hudhayfah related the blessed
news of their enemies retreat and the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, thanked
Allah for His Mercy.
The thin thread of the light of dawn had appeared on the horizon so Bilal arose to call
the believers to prayer. After they had finished the believers turned to look in the
direction of the enemy camp site -- the battlefield was completely deserted. It was a
time for thanksgiving and rejoicing, so the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, gave
his companions permission to break camp and return to their families.
The immediate danger was over, however, the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him,
was still on guard. There was always the possibility that the unbelievers had retreated
out of sight only to await news from the Krayzah that the trench had been abandoned.
With this in mind the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, sent Jabir and Abdullah,
Omar's son to call his men back. Jabir and Abdullah set off calling at the top of their
voices telling them to return, but it was to no avail, whereupon they returned to tell the
Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, what had happened, but the Prophet, praise
and peace be upon him, just smiled and returned home himself with his close
companions.
Al Hamdulillah
