Al-Uqud al-DurriyyaIbn Abd al-Hadi

Then the Prophet ﷺ distributed its spoils (1) at al-Jiʿirrānah and performed the ʿumrah of al-Jiʿirrānah. He next laid siege to al-Ṭāʾif, but the people of al-Ṭāʾif would not face him in marching columns and battle lines (2); instead, they fought from behind a wall.

The last expedition in which the two sides met advancing and standing in formation (3) was the battle of Ḥunayn.

Badr had been the first engagement in which the Muslims prevailed over the chiefs of the unbelievers. Allah killed and captured their leaders (4) despite the Muslims’ small numbers and weakness: they were only three hundred and a few more, owning no more than two horses, and every two or three men would take turns riding a single camel. Their enemy outnumbered them by more than three to one and surpassed them in strength, equipment, prestige, (5) and swagger.

The following year the unbelievers marched against Medina, where the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions were. The Prophet ﷺ and his Companions (6) went out to confront them with roughly one quarter of the enemy’s number, leaving their families in Medina and not moving them elsewhere. At first the charge belonged to the Muslims, but then it shifted to the unbelievers (7), and most of the Muslim army fled, leaving only a small band around the Prophet ﷺ; some of them were killed and others wounded. They were intent on killing the Prophet ﷺ.

ثم قَسَم النبي ﷺ غنائمها (١) بالجِعِرَّانة، واعتمر عمرة الجِعِرّانة. ثم حاصر الطائف فلم يقاتله أهلُ الطائف زحفًا وصفوفًا (٢)، وإنما قاتلوه من وراء جدار. وآخر (٣) غزوةٍ كان فيها القتال زحفًا واصطفافًا هي غزوة حُنَين. وكانت غزوة بدر أول غزوة ظهر فيها المسلمون على صناديد الكفار، وقَتَل (٤) الله وأَسَر رؤوسَهم مع قلة المسلمين وضعفهم، فإنهم كانوا ثلاثمائة وبضعة عشر، ليس معهم إلا فَرَسان، وكان يَعْتَقِب الاثنان والثلاثة على البعير الواحد، وكان عدوّهم بقدرهم أكثر من ثلاث مرات في قوَّة وعُدّة وهيبةٍ (٥) وخُيَلاء. فلما كان من العام المقبل غزا الكفارُ المدينةَ وفيها النبي ﷺ وأصحابهُ فخرج [ق ٥١] إليهم النبي ﷺ وأصحابه (٦) في نحوٍ من ربع الكفار، وتركوا عيالهم بالمدينة لم ينقلوهم إلى موضع آخر. وكانت أولًا الكَرَّة للمسلمين عليهم، ثم صارت للكفار (٧)، فانهزم عامة عسكر المسلمين إلا نفرًا قليلًا حول النبي ﷺ منهم من قُتِل، ومنهم من جُرِح. وحَرَصوا على قتل النبي
