Both men were incidentally wearing better garments than they were previously accustomed to; Khalid ibn al-Walid noted that beneath their clothes, they were still sufficiently armed, indicating they were still accustomed to the practical ways of hard desert life, bringing some relief to the Caliph. Comparatively, Abu Ubayda was also present but had always maintained his humble dress and way of life.

Umar sent detachments of the Muslim army from Iraq to invade Al-Jazira, homeland of the invading Christian Arabs, from three different routes.

Khalid was demoted in favor of Abu Ubayda, but most modern historians view these as either partially valid or literary innovations.
