The Battle of Hunayn (Arabic: غَزْوَةٌ حُنَيْن, romanized: Ghazwatu Hunayn) was a conflict between the Muslims of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the tribe of Qays in the aftermath of the conquest of Mecca. The battle took place in 8 AH (c. 630) in the Hunayn valley on the route from Mecca to Taif. The battle ultimately ended in a decisive victory for the Muslims, and it is one of the few battles mentioned by name in the Qur'an, where it appears in Surat at-Tawbah.[7][8]Despite still being a polytheist, Safwan ibn Umayya fought on the side of the Muslims.[9]
