Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the Muslims reached a garden whose gate was closed, and in that garden were polytheists. So al-Bara' bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) sat on a shield and said: Lift me up with your spears and throw me over to them. So they lifted him with their spears and threw him to the other side of the garden. By the time they reached him, he had already killed ten of their men.
