On their way back to Madinah, at a large sand hill, the Prophet (SAWS) divided the spoils equally among the fighters after he had taken Al-Khums (one-fifth). When they reached As-Safra', he ordered that two of the prisoners should be killed. They were An-Nadr bin Al-Harith and 'Uqbah bin Abi Muait, because they had persecuted the Muslims in Makkah, and harboured deep hatred towards Allah and His Messenger (SAWS) . In a nutshell, they were criminals of war in modern terminology, and their execution was an awesome lesson to oppressors. 'Uqbah forgot his pride and cried out, "Who will look after my children O Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet (SAWS) answered, "The Fire (of Hell)." Did 'Uqbah not remember the day when he had thrown the entrails of a sheep onto the head of the Prophet (SAWS) while he was prostrating himself in prayer, and Fatimah had come and washed it off him? He had also strangled the Prophet (SAWS) with his cloak if it had not been for Abu Bakr to intervene and release the Prophet (SAWS) . The heads of both criminals were struck off by Ali bin Abi Talib
