The disbelievers of Quraysh captured us and said, "Are you going to Muhammad (peace be upon him)?" We said, "Our intention is only to go to Madinah." They took a promise and a strong oath from us that after reaching Madinah, we would not participate in fighting alongside him. We reached the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and informed him of the entire matter. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Both of you return; we will fulfill their promise and seek help from Allah against them."
