The Glorious Sirah Lesson 14

An overview of the ages of some Companions at the time of Immigration is given due to being the main transmitters of the Prophet’s hadiths. Due to their treachery, the Prophet besieges and orders the Jews of Qaynaqa^ to leave Madinah. The idolators of Quraysh want to avenge their loss at Badr. They mobilize a large army to attack the Muslims in Madinah. A serious battle takes place at Uhud in Shawwal of the third Hijriyy year. The hypocrites who constitute one-third of the army withdraw before the battle erupts. The Prophet stations fifty archers to protect the backs of the Muslim army. The Muslims have the upper hand.
