Thus both of them did the surveillance duty while the Holy Prophet" and the rest of the force stayed in the valley. sa. There are several explanations given for naming this Ghazwah as. Ghazwah Dhatur Riqa'. One of these is that there is a mountain in the valley the stones of which have prominent streaks of black, red and white colors, that is why the Ghazwah is called Ghazwah Dhatur Riqā'.

He himself was one of six fighters who had only one mount to ride. Thus most of the fighters had to walk on foot. The area was mountainous. The feet of the Companions" were badly injured from walking on sharp stones and they had wrapped them with torn pieces of cloth to walk. Since in Arabic the bandages made of cloth are called, 'ar-Riqā'" that is why the Ghazwah became to be known as Ghazwah. Dhatur Riga'. sa. In the Ghazwah Dhatur Riqā', when the time of Prayer came, the. Muslims feared that they would be attacked, so the Holy Prophet offered the Salatul Khauf (Prayers of fear) which was the first Prayer of fear. The. Prayer was offered by parties alternately. Muslims confronting the enemy divided themselves into two parties. One of them offered one rak'at with the Imām and then took position against the enemy, and the party which had been facing the enemy came to offer the Prayer with the Imam, and offered one rak'at.
