Battle of al-Musayyakh (12 AH)

The night assault at al-Musayyakh: Khalid timed al-Qa'qa', Abu Layla and 'A'bad to converge on Hudhayl ibn 'Imran's camp in one hour and attacked the sleeping army from three sides. Among the dead were 'Abd al-'Uzza ibn Abi Ruhm and Labid ibn Jarir — two men who had already accepted Islam and carried Abu Bakr's letter confirming it; the caliph paid their blood-money and commended their children, and 'Umar counted their death against Khalid. Hurqus ibn al-Nu'man, who had warned the camp in vain, sat drinking a farewell cup until his head fell into the bowl.
