The battle of Uhud was in the month of Shawwal, the Quraish had come to seek revenge for their loss at Badr, they had come to Al-Madinah with
about three thousand men while the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and his companions came out with seven hundred men and had been abandoned by the
hypocrites.
The attack for the muslims was at the beginning of the day, then Allah tested the muslims and the polytheists attacked targeting the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم wounding him and breaking his tooth. At that time, the angels fought with him and seventy of the companions were martyred,
from them Hamza ibn ‘Abdul-Muttalib and Mus’ab ibn ‘Umair and Anas ibn An-Nadr and Handhala Al-Ghaseel and other than them. Talha ibn
‘Ubaydillah fought so well that day the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Paradise is obligatory for Talha.” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the muslims headed back to the mountain where Allah protected them from the enemies. The day of Uhud was a testing time for the believers, Allah tested them and made clear to them the hypocrites and honoured those who were martyred. After the battle, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم heard that the Quraish have come out again to exterminate the muslims, so he headed towards them with the believers and what they had of wounds, however when the muslims arrived at Hamra’al-Asad the Quraish heard this and fled back to Makkah.
