Summary
Amr ibn Abd Wud was known as a leading Arab warrior of the pre-Islamic period and was nicknamed the night commander. During the Battle of the Trench in Shawwal of the 5th year of hijrah, he and several Quraysh horsemen crossed at a narrow part of the trench. Ali and some Muslims blocked them, and a duel followed that ended with Amr being killed by Ali. The Prophet was greatly pleased when he heard the news of Amr's death, and he pronounced takbir and performed a prostration of gratitude.
