The Quraish were getting ready to take revenge on the Muslims. A year passed after the Battle of Badr. The polytheists formed a big army. The number of the army was three thousand fighters. Abu Sufyan headed it.
The polytheist army advanced towards Madina.
The Jews in Madina were worried, for the Muslims won victory at the Battle of Badr. So, they were full of spite. Kaad bin al-Ashraf, a Jew belonging to Bani al-Nadheer, went to Makkah. He urged the polytheists to take revenge on the Muslims.
Abu Sufyan said to Kaab:
Which religion is better - Muhammad's or ours?
Kaab said with a smile:
Yours!
Thus, the Jews succeeded in urging the polytheists. For this reason, the polytheist army headed for al-Madina al-Munawwara.
