 The Muslims, however, came out victorious,

A league of mountain tribes hostile to Muhammad formed an alliance to attack him.The league consisted of Thaqifs, Hawazins, Joshimites, Saadites and several other hardened mountain tribes.According to Islamic tradition the valley of the Banu Sa'd (who Irving called "Saadites") is where Muhammad was nurtured as a child and was also purified by an Angel.
