The Holy Prophet of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa $8 sa fight the Banu Mustaliq. Their real intention was to create mischief among the Muslims. However, the fighting between the Muslim and the Banū. Mustaliq forces ended so fast that the hypocrites did not get the chance to act upon their plans. After defeating the Banu Mustaliq, the Holy Prophet decided to stay in the area for a couple of days.
