History The Battle of Uhud

[Pari]

WHO CAN NOW SAVE YOU?​

While the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) was on his way back to Madeenah, he stopped and leaned back to take rest under the shade of a thicket of acacia trees after hanging his sword to a branch.​

Jabir relates that he was taking a nap along with his friends when they heard the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) calling them. They saw a Bedouin sitting by the side of the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and when they went to him, he said, "I was sleeping when this man came and took hold of my sword. As I woke-up, I saw him with the sword drawn over my head and he was asking me, ‘Who can now save you from me?" I replied Allah, Now he is sitting before you." The Prophet did not, however, punish the Bedouin. (Al-Bukhaari, Chap. Expedition of Dhatur-Riq'a)

EXPEDITION WITHOUT FIGHTING​

​

The same year, in Sh'aban, the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) went forth to Badr to keep his appointment with Abu Sufyan at Uhud. He remained at Badr for eight days with a large force waiting arrival of the Makkan army. Abu Sufyan did come out of Makkah to honor his call, but he did not venture to advance more than a few miles in the desert. He pursuaded his men to return since it was a season of drought in which his people were in a bad shape. There was thus no fighting and the Muslims returned with their prestige and morale bolstered higher than before.​

The Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) undertook another expedition of Dumatul-Jandal a few months later. But the Muslims returned to Madeenah once more without any fighting. (Ibn Hisham, Vol. II, pp. 209-213)​

[8] Uncle of Anas b. Malik, the personal attendant of the Prophet.[9] Lit. An effort or striving: Fighting in the way of God. It may be defensive or offensive, but solely for a cause just and right.[10] Bukhari, Battle of Uhud. There is no difference of opinion in regard to burying the martyrs, without washing them, so that they present themselves before God in the condition they were slain. As for the burial service, Imam Malik, Imam Shafe'I and Imam Ahmad do not consider it necessary while Imam Abu Hanifa (and others like Imam Awza'I, Sufyan Thauri, Is'haq b. Ruhuway) say that the burial service should be performed. Imam ahmad also relates a Tradition about the offering of burial service over the martyrs. Bukhari has also related a Traidtion on the authority of ‘Uqbah b. ‘Amir that once the Prophet went to Uhud and recited burial service for the martyrs.​
