Sahih al-Bukhari 3865 (Book 64, Hadith 81)
Verses about this event:– “the terrible burning of Al-Buwaira Has been received indifferently By the
nobles of Bani Luai (The masters and nobles of Quraish).” Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith (i.e. the
Prophet’s cousin who was still a disbeliever then) replied to Hassan, saying in poetic verses:– “May
Allah bless that burning And set all its (i.e. Medina’s) Parts on burning fire. You will see who is far
from it (i.e. Al-Buwaira) And which of our lands will be Harmed by it (i.e. the burning of Al-
Buwaira).
