Abdullah bin Buraydah narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) as commander in the expedition of Dhat al-Salasil, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) were also in that army. When they reached the place of battle, Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As ordered that no one should light a fire. At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry and intended to deal harshly with him, but Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stopped him and explained that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had appointed him as commander over you only because he is an expert in the tactics of war. Only then did the anger of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) cool down. This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "The conquest of Makkah took place on the thirteenth of the blessed month of Ramadan."
