Al Jannabi (apud Gagnier, tom. ii. p. 9)
allows him seventy or eighty horse; and on two other
occasions, prior to the battle of Ohud, he enlists a body of
thirty (p. 10) and of 500 (p. 66) troopers. Yet the
Mussulmans, in the field of Ohud, had no more than two
horses, according to the better sense of Abulfeda, (in Vit.
Moham. c. xxxi. p. 65.) In the stony province, the camels
were numerous; but the horse appears to have been less
numerous than in the Happy or the Desert Arabia.
