The Battle of Mu'tah
The next morning, the Muslims who sneaked at night started to come back, when the two armies met again, the Romans noticed the difference in the Muslim army ranks. This made them believe that Muslims had received additional support. They were scared and fled the battlefield.

Khalid ordered the Muslim army to withdraw. He did not want to follow the Roman army to gain a clear victory because it was too dangerous. By doing so, he saved the Muslim army. |

In Madinah, Muslims heard about the army's withdrawal from the battle and were upset. When the army arrived at Madinah, it was received with blame and rebuke. But Rasulu Allah (saws) was pleased with what the army did. He named the army; Al - Karar (the attacker) and named Khalid; Saifu Allah.
