At this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called out to the Muslims, "O servants of Allah! I am the servant and Messenger of Allah (here). O group of Ansar!

Then she said, "O Messenger of Allah! Those people who ran away leaving you, have them killed." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Umm Sulaym! Allah Himself has sufficed for us and dealt well with us."
