The Siege

The Armies of the Allies headed by Abu Sufyan arrived in Madina. Seeing the trench, they wondered and said:

The Arabs don't know this trick!

And the polytheists knew that it was Salman's idea. They besieged Madina. Abu-Sufyan was looking in vain for an opening to pass through the trench.

During the siege, the Muslims and the polytheists reciprocated arrows.

One day, the polytheists' horsemen could pass through the trench and arrived at the front of the Muslims.

Our Master Muhammad [s] ordered his fighters to hinder the polytheists. Thus Ali Bin Abu Talib stood up to fight Amru bin Abdi-Wud, a hero of the polytheists'.

When Imam Ali [a] began fighting the enemy of Islam, our Master Muhammad [s] prayed to Allah to grant them all a victory. Then he said:

Today, all belief has begun fighting all atheism.

The young man of Islam gained a victory over his enemy, and the Muslims shouted:

Allah's great! Allah's great!

When the polytheists escaped towards the trench, the Muslims pursued and killed some of them.
