At the beginning of the battle, the Islamic army was unstable because of the [[polytheist]]s' camisado and the presence of some soldiers from [[Mecca]], who were recent Muslim converts, such that the Prophet (s)'s life was in danger, but the Muslims could finally win the war and gain a lot of booties. | ||

When Malik b. 'Awf decided to depart to fight with [[the Prophet (s)]], he took with the army the properties, women and children in order to encourage its men to defend them. When they arrived in Awtas—a rough and uneven field for horses—Durayd b. Simma, a blind old man from Jusham, who was experienced with wars, told Malik b. 'Awf that if this battle were honorable, the brave men of Ka'b and Kilab would attend it. Thus he asked Malik to go to the battle only with his men, so that he can be joined by others in case he wins, but if he is defeated, then the children and women would be safe. However, Malik b. 'Awf ignored his remarks and ridiculed him. | When Malik b.

[[Ibn Ishaq]] has narrated a [[hadith]] from [[Imam al-Baqir (a)]] according to which when the Prophet (s) decided to go to the battle of Hawazin (battle of Hunayn), he sent someone to Safwan b. Umayya (a head of [[Quraysh]] who was still a polytheist at that time), asking him to lend armors and weapons to him and the Muslims (with the guarantee that they will return them to him). Safwan accepted this and lent 100 armors to them. | [[Ibn Ishaq]] has narrated a [[hadith]] from [[Imam al-Baqir (a)]] according to which when the Prophet (s) decided to go to the battle of Hawazin (battle of Hunayn), he sent someone to Safwan b.

Together with 10,000 of his followers, who had helped him in the [[conquest of Mecca]] and 2,000 new converts to [[Islam]] from [[Mecca]], [[the Prophet (s)]] departed from Mecca to fight the [[Hawazin]]. Some of these new converts only wanted to see who will win in order to seize booties, and they may have as well hoped that the Prophet (s) and Muslims would be defeated in this battle. The Prophet (s), Muslims, and some men from Quraysh, some of whom were still polytheists, arrived in [[Hunayn]] in the evening of Tuesday, 10 of [[Shawwal]], [[8]]/December 2, 630. | Together with 10,000 of his followers, who had helped him in the [[conquest of Mecca]] and 2,000 new converts to [[Islam]] from [[Mecca]], [[the Prophet (s)]] departed from Mecca to fight the [[Hawazin]].
