The Expedition of Dhat al-Riqa'
[ سَبَبُ تَسْمِيَتِهَا بِذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَإِنَّمَا قِيلَ لَهَا غَزْوَةُ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ رَقَّعُوا فِيهَا رَايَاتِهِمْ؛ وَيُقَالُ: ذَاتُ الرِّقَاعِ: شَجَرَةٌ بِذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ، يُقَالُ لَهَا: ذَاتُ الرِّقَاعِ. وَقَالَ الْوَاقِدِيُّ: بِجَبَلٍ فِيهِ بُقَعٌ حُمْرٌ وَسُودٌ وَبِيضٌ. وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي مُوسَى: إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَتْ بِذَلِكَ لِمَا كَانُوا يَرْبُطُونَ عَلَى أَرْجُلِهِمْ مِنَ الْخِرَقِ مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ.
Translation
✧ [The reason for naming it Dhat al-Riqa'] Ibn Hisham said: It was only called the expedition of Dhat al-Riqa' because on it they patched their banners. It is also said: Dhat al-Riqa' is a tree at that place, which is called Dhat al-Riqa'. Al-Waqidi said: At a mountain in which there are red, black, and white patches. In the hadith of Abu Musa: It was only called that because of the rags they used to tie on their feet due to the intense heat.
