They were strong enough and had resided about Ta’if, a country place in theeast and north east of Mecca. When they knew that the Muslims had conquered Mecca,they decided to attack it before the Prophet would declare war against them. The matterwas reported to the Prophet (s) by the spies; therefore he set out towards them with astrong army of twelve thousand men. Some other Arab families joined Thaqeef andHawazin. They were about thirty thousand men accompanied by their households andcattle. They came to a wide area named Hunayn. The Muslims had to pass a narrowvalley to get to Hunayn. The enemy came down from the rear mouth of the valley and hidthemselves behind big stones and rocks in the slopes. When the Muslims came in sight,the enemy attacked them by a shower of stones and arrows. Consequently the Muslimswere frightened. They escaped and left the Prophet alone. Only a few ones; Ali (s), Abbas,the Prophet’s uncle, ibn Harith, the Prophet's cousin, Al-Fadhl ibn Abbas and Abdullah ibnMas’ud stood against the enemy before the Prophet (s).

They cameback and forced the enemy to retreat and to run away towards Ta’if. The Muslims gainedgreat spoils; forty thousand sheep, twenty-four thousand camels, a good quantity ofsilverwares and six thousand persons as captives.
