Commentary
The events regarding
preparations for the battle, departure from home to the battleground and
drawing up in flanks for the battlefield by Holy Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon him) have been indicated
in this verse. Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him) proceeded from home for the crusade in the right path early in
morning. He assigned the positions to the Believers for the battle, caused to
sit them down on the appropriate lines of entrenchments and arranged the map of
battlefield.
Here it signifies
towards the Battle Battle
On Saturday, March 19, 625 (3 Shawwal) 3 AH, the Quraysh of Makkah lead their Army to Madinah
with three thousand selected braves. One year earlier, they suffered a defeat
in the battle of Badr. So then, they came with full
preparations. Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him) consulted his companions (may Allah Almighty be pleased with them).
The old people advised that self-defense should be arranged staying within the
city. ‘Abd-Allah ibn Ubayy (the chief of the Khazraj tribe)
and leader of the hypocrites had also this opinion. The young people said,
“It is the sign of weakness; we should go out and fight against them. We shall
defend with stakes and engage in a desperate undertaking at each cost.
Holy Messenger of
Allah (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) agreed to this
suggestion, came out from his house wearing the armor and departed towards the
battlefield from the city with other Muslims. Total number of Muslims were one
thousand. ‘Abd-Allah ibn Ubayy (leader of the
hypocrites) returned with his three hundred disbelievers saying that ‘when you
did not agree to us then we would not cooperate with you’.
Holy Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon him) delivered the flag over to Mas-‘ab
bin ‘Umar (may Allah Almighty be pleased with him), appointed Zubair bin
Awam (may Allah Almighty be pleased with him) as commander of
the troop of the horses, kept the people (who were not in armor) under the
command of Amir Hamza (may Allah Almighty be pleased with him),
determined fifty archers at a pass (of the mountain) under supervision of ‘Abd-Allah
bin Zubair (may Allah Almighty be pleased with him) and ordered
them not to leave the pass at any cost. This battle of right and wrong began
with these preparations.
