In an attempt not to lose face among the Koraysh, Abu Sufyan continued to refuse to
send money for his son's ransom. However, during the pilgrimage season of the
following year, Abu Sufyan seized and elderly Ansar on his return to Medina from his
pilgrimage and sent word that he would not release him until Amr was released. It was
not an honorable act to capture one so elderly and without hesitation the Prophet (salla
Allahu alihi wa sallam) agreed to the exchange and both were reunited with their
families.
Seven Days after Badr
It was now the month of Shawwal, when news arrived that the tribe of Saleem of the
Ghatfan were planning an attack. The Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) wasted no
time and rode out with his Companions to a place called Al Kudr to mount a surprise
attack. However, the tribe of Saleem had received news of their coming and fled leaving
behind five-hundred camels which were distributed between the Companions as spoils
of war.
