young man that the poets of Aws and Khazraj wrote during the battle of Bu’aas.

Then he said: ‘Go, sit in the gathering of Aws and Khazraj and read out these poems to them.’ 

When he read out those poems, it reignited the emotions of the both tribes and they said: ‘Come, let’s fight again.’

To the extent that all of them arrived in the battlefield with their weapons. When the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم found out about this, he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم quickly reached the battlefield.

Therefore, both the tribes repented, embraced each other and returned home with affection under the leadership of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
