[Machine] I wrote to Nafi' asking him, "Was the invitation before the battle?" He replied, "Yes, that was in the early days of Islam, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was angered by Banu Mustaliq, who had raided their livestock, and their animals were being watered. He killed their fighters, captured their captives, and on that day, Juwayriyah bint al-Harith was taken captive. Abdullah bin Umar narrated this hadith to me, and he was in that army."
كَتَبْتُ إِلَى نَافِعٍ أَسْأَلُهُ هَلْ كَانَتِ الدَّعْوَةُ قَبْلَ الْقِتَالِ؟ قَالَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ إِنَّ ذَاكَ كَانَ فِي أَوَّلِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَغَارَ عَلَى بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ وَهُمْ غَارُّونَ وَأَنْعَامُهُمْ تُسْقَى عَلَى الْمَاءِ فَقَتَلَ مُقَاتِلَتَهُمْ وَسَبَى سَبْيَهُمْ وَأَصَابَ يَوْمَئِذٍ جُوَيْرِيَةَ ابْنَةَ الْحَارِثِ وَحَدَّثَنِي بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَكَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشِ
