     "markdown": "The report says that Ibn Unays set out in disguise, claiming descent from Khuza'a. He passed Qudayd and Urana, until he met Sufyan in the bottom of Urana walking with the Ahabish. He recognised him by the description, came near him and slipped into his company, pretending agreement, so that he could get close to him. {cite:al-waqidi-maghazi p. 532}\n\nI have limited this account to this much and have not given its conclusion, which is taken up in its place."
