[3][4] A few days after Muhammad returned Medina from the raid on the Banu Lihyan, a band of armed men of Ghatafan led by Abdur Rahman Uyanah bin Hisn Al-Fazari raided the outskirts of the city; and seized 20 milch camels.
[5] According to William Montgomery Watt, Uyaynah b. Hisn al-Fazari was annoyed because Muhammad had broken off negotiations with him over the withdrawal of Ghatafan.
[6] Abdur Rahman Uyanah bin Hisn Al-Fazari made a raid, looted the camels, and killed the man who looked after them and kidnapped his wife.
[5] The place by which it was fought is known as Dhu Qarad, a reservoir of water at a day's journey from Madinah.
Muhammad on his way back to Medina stopped at a place called Dhu Qarad and sacrificed a camel.
