The Withdrawal

Although the situation was critical, our Master Muhammad [s] decided to withdraw his troops to refresh them. He called:

I'm Allah's Apostle [s]. come near to me!

The Prophet [s] took his companions to Uhud Mount.

Abu Sufyan stood at the foot of the mountain and said:
A day for a day!

Then he said:

Hubal is great!

The Prophet [s] ordered a companion of his to say:

Allah is greater!

Abu Sufyan said:

The supporter is for us, but you've no supporter!

The Prophet [s] said:

Allah is our supporter, but you've no supporter!

The battle was over. The Muslims took an unforgettable lesson from it. The lesson was about obeying our Master Muhammad [s] at any rate.

The Muslims lost seventy fighters. The polytheists lost twenty eight fighters.

Our Master Muhammad [s] arrived in Madina. The Muslims rejoiced at his return.

Our Master Muhammad [s] condoled Hamna bint Jahash on her uncle's martyrdom. She said:

We belong to Allah and we shall come back to Him! May Allah forgive and have mercy on him!

He condoled her on her brother Abdullah's martyrdom.

She said:

We belong to Allah and we shall come back to Him! May Allah forgive and have mercy on him!

Then he condoled her on her husband Mus'ab's martyrdom. She burst into tears and said:

What great sadness!

She wept bitter tears. Our Master Muhammad [s] knew that Hamna loved her brave husband very much. So, he did not tell her directly.

That believing woman went home weeping. For this reason our Master Muhammad [s] said:

The woman loves her husband more than others.

Thus the bright page of jihad was folded. Mus'ab's name was on its first lines.

The Muslims always remember this brave hero, who suffered persecution for Islam. Mus'ab al-Khair's name has been in the generations memory!
