الكتاب : A Knowledge of the Prophet's Biography   ||   القسم : English books   ||   القرّاء : 2534
 

 

 

The Prophet (p.b.h) did like to use the sword , but the conditions required that . Quraish’s injustice , and their determination to hit the Prophet (p.b.h) and his companions economically. They prevented the caravans from carrying the food to al Medina . That situation has continued until the people of Medina were about to starve. Then Abou Jahal sent the Prophet a strongly-worded message ,he threatened the Prophet that he is going to invade al Medina . Just then the following two verses descended: “Permission (to fight ) is given to those upon who war is made because they are oppressed , and most surly Allah is well able to assist them .Those who have been expelled form their homes without a just cause except that they say : Our Lord is Allah . And had there not been Allah’s repelling some people by others , certainly there would have been pulled down cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques in which Allah’s name is much remembered ; and surly Allah will help him who helps his cause ; most surly Allah is Strong , Mighty ”  [29]

Through out this theme , we are going to narrate the most important battles of the Prophet (p.b.h) that he himself took part in.

 

1.     Badr :

 

To defend the Muslim’s rights and to shock Quraish and the idolaters , the Prophet (p.b.h) went out to face Quraish in the second year after the hegira with 313 men , 82 of them were from al - Mohagireen (migrants ) , and 170 men were from al Khazrage , and 61 men from al Aous . That was on Monday the eighth of Remadan. He knitted two flags , one of them was for Mosa’ab bin Omayr , and the second one which is called “al Oqab ” was for Imam Ali (p.b.h) .

As for Quraish , they moved toward a place named “Badr”   in the morning of seventeenth Ramadan . The battle started with an individual fighting , when , Hamzah,  (p.b.h) fought ,Shaybah , and ,Obaydah,  fought , Otbeh , and ,Ali,  (p.b.h)  fought , al Waleed . When , Hamza , and , Ali , killed their opponents , they both killed Otbeh . Then both armies clashed with each other. Muslim army won the battle because of their own faith and helping of God.

 

Allah the Almighty said “ And Allah did certainly assist you at Badr when you were weak; be careful of Allah then, that you may give thanks. ” [30]

 

2.     al- Kudr :

 

It happened the same year of , Badr Battle ,. Qarqaratul Kudr lies between , al Medina , and , al Ma’den. A clan of Bani Salm inhabited that area , and they were preparing themselves to attack Yethrib. So the Prophet (p.b.h) himself went to punish them. But they escaped before he reached them.

 

3.     Thee Amr :

It was a place on the road of al Medina , when the clan of Ghatafan has prepared to attack al Medina , the Prophet (p.b.h) went to fight them but they escaped. One of them wanted to kill the Prophet (p.b.h) while he was resting under a tree in the valley of Thee Amr , but the Prophet (p.b.h) could control him with a Devin miracle , them the man declared his faith in Islam.

 

4.     Ohod :

It was one of the greatest battles of Islam , it happened in the third year after hegira . After they lost some of their men in Badr , Quraish prepared itself to take revenge of Muslims.  They prepared four thousands fighters in addition to the women who came to nurse men during the battle .  The battle happened in Ohod region on Saturday the seventh of Shauwal . At the beginning Muslims have beaten Quraish , but later they have been beaten ,  because  they didn’t stick to the plan of the Prophet (p.b.h)and didn’t obey his orders, when they left the strategic site  that the Prophet (p.b.h) has been ordered them to stick with whatever happens .

 

The Prophet’s attitudes during that battle proved his carriouge and his strength. That what Imam Ali has confimed when he said : “When the heat fight be severer , we shield ourselves by the Prophet (p.b.h) , nobody of us was closer to the enemy more than him ”

After Imam Ali (p.b.h) had killed a huge number of the enemies in that battle , a shouting was heared between sky an earth says : “ No young man but Ali , no sowred but Thol Fiqar .”

Hamzah bin Abdul Muttalib , the uncle of the Prophet (p.b.h)  has been martyred in that battle. Hamzah who protected the Prophet (p.b.h)  for long time has been killed by the black slave “Wahshi” responsing to the demand of Hind , the wife of Abi Sofyan . Hind maimed the body of Hamzah after his death , she cut his abdomen and took out his liver then chewed it with her teeth , so that she is called “the liver eater ” Then they left the battlefield.

10.  Bani Quraidha :

 

The children of Quraidha had been hold a non-aggression pact with the Prophet (p.b.h) but they annulled that treaty when they took part in the battle of Ahzab , and they were dangerous. After al-Khandaq battle ,  the Prophet (p.b.h) commanded the army to go to them . After a blockade that had lasted twenty five days , the enemy surrendered themselves.

 

In the sixth year after hegira there were the following battle :

 

11. Bani Ghatafan:

13. Khaibar

 

Enormous number of Jews were living in the forts of Khaibar , they were about fourteen thousands . They were having economical and military ties with Quraish. That situation was threatening the security of Muslims , therefore Muslims decided to attack them after a blockage for a while. The flag was in Ali’s hands (p.b.h) . When the Prophet (p.b.h) said : “ Tomorrow I will give the flag to a man who loves Allah and his Prophet , and Allah and his Prophet love him . he is going to defeat the enemy , he is attacker not escaper ”  

So Imam Ali (p.b.h) attacked them and chased the escapers to the fort of Khaibar. He killed the hero of  Jews , he pulled out the gate of the fort . And Muslims gain a victory.
