If it were a byzantine victory they would have persued the retreating muslims, it was rather a strategic victory for the muslims OR Indecisive Hakan.66.23 (talk) 18:18, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But in the Battle of Mutah, Khalid bin Velid took back his soldiers and the war ended and a land acquisition was also necessary. And at the same time, in Christian sources it is only mentioned that Byzantine won, but in Muslim sources it is mentioned that it was a tactical Muslim victory or Inconclusive.

It's still your opinion until you provide WP:RS that will back up your words Rxsxuis (talk) 13:37, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Judging from their response(which completely ignored my response), it appears they are using a machine translation. Which means that WP:CIR applies. --Kansas Bear (talk) 15:59, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
