Khalid set out, and on a moonlit night Ukaydir came out when the cows rubbed their horns against his palace gate; the Prophet's cavalry met him, captured him and killed his brother Hassan. Khalid took his brocade gown laced with gold and sent it to the Prophet."

He said: no, by God. She said: who would leave this? He said: no one. He went down, ordered his horse saddled, and rode with a party of his household — a brother of his called Hassan among them — taking their hunting gear with them. {cite:ibn-hisham-saqqa 4/170}\n\nWhen they came out, the Prophet's cavalry met them, took him and killed his brother; on him was a gown of brocade interwoven with gold, which Khalid stripped and sent ahead to the Prophet before bringing Ukaydir to him. {cite:ibn-hisham-saqqa 4/170}\n\nIbn Ishaq relates from Asim ibn Umar ibn Qatada, from Anas ibn Malik, that he saw Ukaydir's gown when it was brought to the Prophet, the Muslims touching it and marvelling at it, and the Prophet said: do you marvel at this?
