When was the Battle of Uhud?
In Shawwal of the third year of the Hijra
The causes of the battle
After the terrible defeat of the Quraysh in the Battle of Badr and the killing of many of their elites, the leaders of the Jews and polytheists strived hard to stir up the pre-Islamic fervor in the souls of the people of Mecca to avenge those killed by the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - and the Muslims, and to restore their prestige and status after it had been shaken in the eyes of the Arabs due to their defeat in the Battle of Badr, among the reasons that made the Quraishites rush to take the decision to invade Medina: their desire to secure the trade route to the Levant, and their ambition to eradicate the Muslim community before their power increases
How many polytheists' army?
Three thousand fighters, with 200 horsemen.
How many Muslims' army?
A thousand fighters, and with them two knights.
The Battle of Uhud The reference to the Battle of Uhud was mentioned in the Holy Qur’an in Surah Al Imran, where the talk about it began with the words of God Almighty,
(وَإِذْ غَدَوْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ تُبَوِّئُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَقَاعِدَ لِلْقِتَالِ وَاللَّـهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ)
(And when you rose in the morning from your family, making believers dwell in seats for fighting, and God is Hearing, Knowing.)
The discussion of it continued for sixty verses after that, and the wisdom of God Almighty required it, That the life of the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - included many events, crises, and difficulties, the problems, the victories, the setbacks, so that these great events may be a reason for legislation and a lesson that the Islamic nation will benefit from later, In fact, the Battle of Uhud was a setback for Muslims during the era of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and the reason for that defeat was a group of them violated the orders of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, but despite this setback, However, the Quraysh did not achieve their goal, the goal of the Battle of Uhud was to eradicate Muslims and secure the trade route to the Levant
The events of the Battle of Uhud
Preparing for the battle After Abu Sufyan returned safely with the caravan to Mecca, some of those whose fathers, brothers, and relatives were killed in the Battle of Badr went to him, They asked him for help with that money in the war of the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - Invading Muslims to take revenge on them, He agreed to their request, and the infidels of Quraish began preparing for the invasion
On the seventh of Shawwal of the third year of the Hijra
Abu Sufyan bin Harb set out at the head of an army numbering three thousand Quraish fighters, and among the people of Tihama and Kenana who obeyed them, on the other hand, the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - held a council to consult the Companions - may God be pleased with them - about meeting the enemy.
The Companions’ opinions about fighting in Medina or outside it
Some of them were of the opinion of going out to fight the enemy outside Medina, the other opinion was to fortify and fight within the city walls, the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - saw this, but the majority were eager to fight and wanted to go out and meet the infidels, so the Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him - gave permission to his nation and went out with a thousand fighters to meet the enemy in Uhud, On the way, the head of the hypocrites, Abdullah bin Abi bin Salul, betrayed the Muslims and returned with three hundred fighters, when the Muslims reached the site of Uhud, the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - began to organize the ranks, So he turned the army's back to Mount Uhud, then appointed a squad of archers numbering fifty fighters, at their head was Abdullah bin Jubayr - may God be pleased with him - to protect the army’s back, He ordered them not to leave their positions, regardless of the outcome, as he told them: (Put out the horses for us with the arrows, and do not come behind us, If the situation is for us or against us, then stay in your places, and they will not be taken from you.)
The events of the battle began after the Muslims and polytheists lined up in the land of Uhud
Where fighting broke out around the Infidel Brigade, It was a custom of the Quraish for their banner to be carried by Banu Abd al-Dar, At the beginning of the battle, the flag was in the hands of Talha bin Abi Talha Al-Abdari, who was the strongest and greatest of the Quraysh knights, He was nicknamed the ram of the battalion, so he went out on a camel asking for battle while carrying the banner, when the Muslims saw him, they refrained from fighting him because of his prestige and composure, Then Al-Zubayr bin Al-Awwam - may God be pleased with him - shot towards him like an arrow, He jumped on his camel, dropped it to the ground, sat on top of it, and then killed it, When the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - saw Al-Zubayr bin Al-Awwam killing the ram of the battalion, he said: (For every prophet there is a disciple, and my disciple is Al-Zubair), the ranks closed, the heat of the battle was heated, and Othman bin Abi Talha Al-Abdari, the brother of the ram of the battalion, rushed, He took up the banner of the polytheists and raised it, so Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib - may God be pleased with him - rebelled against him and killed him, The banner was carried by their third brother, Abu Saada, and Saad bin Abi Waqqas - may God be pleased with him - rushed towards him, He killed him, then Musafa bin Talha bin Abi Talha came out and was killed, Then Kilab bin Talha bin Abi Talha went out and was killed, Then Al-Jalas bin Talha bin Abi Talha was also killed, It was a tragedy for the family of Abu Talha al-Abdari, as six of them were killed one after the other, Banu Abd al-Dar (the polytheists) insisted on raising the flag despite all that, so whenever one was killed, the other took it, Until ten of Banu Abd al-Dar were killed, then an Ethiopian servant of Banu Abd al-Dar named Sawab came out and raised the banner, he fought harder than all of his predecessors, until his hand was cut off, then the other was cut off, then his head was cut off, The banner of the polytheists fell and was not raised after that, when the Muslims saw what happened to the banner of the infidels, their morale rose, the resolve of the polytheists weakened, and the heroes of the Muslims rose up, including Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib and Abu Dujana, And Musab bin Umair - may God be pleased with them - all of them, and they began to penetrate the ranks of the infidels, They killed them back and forth, and it was only a short time before the Quraish army began to flee, leaving the women behind, Al-Zubayr bin Al-Awwam even said: “I saw the servants and companions of Hind bint Utbah, they are running wild, without taking them much or little, The archers disobeyed the Prophet’s order. the archers thought that the polytheists would not return after witnessing their escape, a number of them descended in search of spoils, and they disobeyed the order of the Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him - not to leave their places despite their prince's reminder, they insisted on leaving their positions, and then Khalid bin Al-Walid noticed this loophole, at that time, he was among the ranks of the polytheists, so he turned from behind the mountain with a group of Quraysh knights, they killed the remaining archers on the mountain, and the back of the Muslim army was exposed to Khalid, so he surprised them from behind, Their ranks were disturbed, they were killed, and the polytheist army returned and surrounded the Muslims from all directions.
They began to withdraw from the battlefield
The achieved victory turned into a great setback, Which of the two sects would have almost failed had it not been for God’s confirmation? Banu Salamah and Banu Haritha. And about them God Almighty said:
{إذ همت طائفتان أن تفشلا والله وليهما}
{When two groups intended that fail, and God is their protector.}
The polytheists reached the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, but the Companions - may God be pleased with them - were valiant in defending him, Until ten of them were killed, and Talha bin Ubaidullah - may God be pleased with him - confronted them until his hand was paralyzed, then the Muslims gathered around the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and took him to a people in the mountain, then Ali bin Abi Talib - may God be pleased with him - washed the blood from the face of the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace, He poured water on his head, and the infidels quickly packed their belongings, they headed toward Mecca, leaving behind twenty-two dead, as for the Muslims, the number of those killed was seventy martyrs.
What did the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, advise the Companions?
He said to them: “If you see us defeat them, do not leave, and if you see them appearing against us, do not help us. Sahih Al-Bukhari (4043)
And in a narration
(If you see us being snatched by birds, do not leave until I send to you) Sunan Abi Dawud (962)
What was the dialogue that took place at the end of the battle between Abu Sufyan and the Muslim army?
Abu Sufyan supervised the Muslims and said: Is the people loyal to Muhammad? He said: Do not answer him. He said: Is Ibn Abi Quhafa the people? He said: Do not answer him. He said: Is there Omar among the people? He said: These people were killed, If they were alive, they would have answered, but he could not control himself and said to him: You lied, O enemy of God. May God spare you what will disgrace you, Abu Sufyan said: I am stupid. Then the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (Answer him) They said: What do we say? He said: (Say: God is Most High and Most Exalted) Abu Sufyan said: We have glory and you have no glory, The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (Answer him) They said: What do we say? He said: (Say: God is our guardian, and you have no guardian.) Sahih Al-Bukhari (4042)
Mutilating the bodies of Muslims and Hamzah, may God be pleased with him
The polytheists, male and female, preoccupied themselves with killing Muslims, mutilating them, cutting off ears, noses, and private parts, and ripping out bellies, They think that they infected the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and the noble Companions, Hind bint Utbah, the wife of Abu Sufyan, used men’s ears and noses the anklets, And necklaces, and she gave her servants, and her necklaces, and her earrings, and the stuffing of a cast boy, and she cut off Hamza’s liver - she chewed it - she was unable to make it palatable, so she uttered it because she had vowed that if she was able to get hold of Hamzah, she would eat from his liver, this Hind is the wife of Abu Sufyan and the mother of Muawiyah. She converted to Islam in the conquest of Mecca after her husband, as will follow, and among those who mutilating his body was Abdullah bin Jahsh, He and his uncle Hamza were buried in one grave, and Islam forbade it, about the mutilating because it indicates brutality and contradicts humanity, Hamzah fought fiercely that day, and he was fighting with two swords. The last person killed, may God be pleased with him, was killed by Saba’ bin Abdul-Uzza Al-Khuza’i. When he descended on him to take his armor, he was killed by a brutal servant, Jubayr bin Mut’im, He then converted to Islam and was hired by Hind to kill Hamza, The Messenger of God looked for his uncle Hamzah and found him with his stomach cut off and his nose and ears cut off, so he was disgraced by his mutilation, He said: If God gives me victory over the Quraysh in a certain place, I will be defeated by thirty of their men, When the Muslims saw the sadness and anger of the Messenger of God at those who did what he did to his uncle, They said: By God, if God gives us victory over them one day in eternity, we will mutilation them in a way that no Arab has ever mutilation, such things were committed by the Arabs in pre-Islamic times during war as revenge against their enemies if they became extremely angry, but Islam forbade it because of its heinousness, On the authority of Ibn Abbas: God Almighty revealed in the words of the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, and the words of his companions:
{وَإِنْ عَاقَبْتُمْ فَعَاقِبُواْ بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبْتُمْ بِهِ وَلَئِن صَبَرْتُمْ لَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لّلصَّبِرينَ وَاصْبِرْ وَمَا صَبْرُكَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ وَلاَ تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ تَكُ فِى ضَيْقٍ مّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ} (النحل: 126، 127
{And if you punish, then punish with the like of what you were punished with, and if you are patient, it is better for those who are patient, and be patient, for your patience is only with the help of God, and do not be sad for them, and do not be distressed by what they plot.” (An-Nahl: 126, 127)
The return of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, to Medina
When the Messenger of God wanted to return to Medina, he rode his horse and the Muslims came out around him, most of them wounded, and fourteen women with him, When they were at the origin of Uhud, he said: “Line up so that I may praise my Lord Almighty, He, peace and blessings be upon him, loved order, so the men lined up in rows behind him and the women behind them, and he said: “O God, all praise is due to You. There is no one to seize what You have spread nor to extend what You have seize, there is no guide for whom You have led astray, nor a misguider for whom You have guided, nor a giver of what You have withheld, nor a deterrent to what You have given, and there is no one close to you when you are far away, and there is no turning away what you draw near.” the hadith, Then he returned to the city to calm the women of the dead, pray for them, and forbid them from slapping, shaving heads, scratching faces, and slitting pockets, The Messenger of God did not address those who were defeated and returned to Medina harshly, But He addressed them with gentle words and pardoned them, thus increasing His bounty and benevolence. God Almighty said:
{فَبِمَا رَحْمَةٍ مّنَ اللَّهِ لِنتَ لَهُمْ وَلَوْ كُنْتَ فَظّا غَلِيظَ الْقَلْبِ لاَنْفَضُّواْ مِنْ حَوْلِكَ} (آل عمران: 159)
{It was because of God’s mercy that You were kind to them, If you had been rude and hard-hearted, they would have dispersed from around you. (Al Imran: 159)
This gentleness and forgiveness are among the good character of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him
The faces of the Aws and Khazraj spent the night at the door of the mosque, peace and blessings of God be upon him, guarding it for fear of the Quraysh, To return to the city, but they did not return. The Jews and hypocrites gloated when he, peace and blessings be upon him, arrived in Medina, The hypocrites and the Jews showed gloating and evil and began to express the ugliest words, including Muhammad, who is nothing but a king seeker, no prophet was ever injured like this. He was injured in his body and his companions were injured, and they say, If only one of you who was killed had been with us, He was not killed and Ibn Ubayy started rebuking his son Abdullah, who was wounded in the Battle of Uhud, His son said to him: What God has done for His Messenger is good, and so the Jews used opportunities to let the Muslims down and discourage them
The angels descend on the day of Uud
Ubaid bin Umair said: The angels did not fight on the Day of Uhud, and Al-Waqidi said:
Ibn Abi Sabra told me, on the authority of Abdul Hamid bin Suhail, on the authority of Omar bin Al-Hakam, He said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, did not pass by a single angel on the day of Uhud, but rather they were on the day of Badr, He said: It was narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah that he said: God promised them that He would provide them with relief if they were patient, but when they were exposed, the angels did not fight on that day, What is proven in the text of the Qur’an and the narration of the Companions is that they went down and fought in the Battle of Badr, The Battle of Uhud is mentioned in the Qur’an. God Almighty revealed sixty verses from the Qur’an about the Battle of Uhud in Surah Al Imran,
Allah says
{وَإِذْ غَدَوْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ تُبَوّىء الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَقَاعِدَ لِلْقِتَالِ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ إِذْ هَمَّتْ طَّآئِفَتَانِ مِنكُمْ أَن تَفْشَلاَ وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّهُمَا وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ} (آل عمران: 121، 122
{And when you set out from your family, appointing the believers as places of battle, God is Hearing, Knowing, when two groups of you were about to fail, and God is their guardian, and in God let the believers put their trust.” (Al-Imran: 121, 122)
Most of the scholars said about the battles
This verse was revealed in the Battle of Uhud, and the Muslims at that time were many, but when they split and disobeyed the Messenger’s command, they were defeated, God Almighty said:
: {وَلَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ بِبَدْرٍ وَأَنتُمْ أَذِلَّةٌ فَاتَّقُواْ اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ} (آل عمران: 123):
{And God certainly helped you at Badr while you were humiliated, so pious Allah that you may be thankful.” (Al Imran: 123):
When God Almighty mentioned the story of Uhud, he followed it up by mentioning the story of Badr because the Muslims were extremely weak and the infidels were extremely strong, But when God was their supporter, they defeated their opponents, and then God Almighty said:
{إِذْ تَقُولُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَلَنْ يَكْفِيكُمْ أَن يُمِدَّكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِثَلاَثَةِ ءالاَفٍ مّنَ الْمَلَئِكَةِ مُنزَلِينَ} (آل عمران: 124)
{When you said to the believers, “Is it not enough for you if your Lord provides you with with three thousand angels sent down} (Al Imran: 124) This promise was made on the day of Badr, and this is the opinion of most commentators, and they said: The angels fought on the day of Badr and did not fight on all other days, and this period is one of the miracles,
Allah says
{بَلَى إِن تَصْبِرُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ وَيَأْتُوكُمْ مّن فَوْرِهِمْ هَذَا يُمْدِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِخَمْسَةِ ءالآفٍ مّنَ الْمَلَئِكَةِ مُسَوّمِينَ} (آل عمران: 125).
{Rather, if you are patient and fearful, and they will come to you immediately, this is what your Lord will provide you with five thousand angels with Marked with sign.
The signs: such as turbans or others
He made the coming of five thousand angels conditional on three things:
1 - patience
2 - piety
3 - the immediate arrival of the infidels.
When these conditions did not exist, there was no crime, and the condition did not exist,
AS Allah says
{وَمَا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ بُشْرَى لَكُمْ وَلِتَطْمَئِنَّ قُلُوبُكُمْ بِهِ وَمَا النَّصْرُ إِلاَّ مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ لِيَقْطَعَ طَرَفا مّنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ أَوْ يَكْبِتَهُمْ فَيَنقَلِبُواْ خَآئِبِينَ} (آل عمران: 126، 127)
{And God did not make it except as good news for you and so that your hearts may be reassured and the victory is only from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise, that He may cut off part of the disbelievers, or disgrace them, so that they turn away disappointed.} (Al Imran: 126, 127)
What is meant by repression is shame, destruction, defeat, anger, and humiliation
We benefit from the above below
1 - Ibn al-Qayyim says: This is one of the most notable messengers, as Heraclius said to Abu Sufyan: (Did you fight him? He said: Yes. He said: How was the war between you and him? He said: A fickle. He tells us something once, and we talk about him the other time. He said: Likewise, messengers are tested and then the end will be theirs.
2 - The withdrawal of Abdullah bin Abi Saloul attacking the Muslims outwardly and the infidels or hypocrites inwardly is tantamount to disciplining the rest of the Muslims. Why? because they think about the matter carefully: Should we withdraw with them or remain around the Messenger of God? Here, the believer is distinguished from the hypocrite
3 - Note: All the previous expeditions and invasions of Uhud included a large booty for the Muslims in the form of prisoners, silver, money, and camels, If the spoils continued like this, it would be said that Islam is an oppressive religion in order to seize control of those who oppress them, but sometimes victory goes to the Muslims and sometimes to others, Souls return to longing for the afterlife and not resting on this world, and it is a temptation to remain victorious all the time, or that God - the Almighty - He gives you all the time, whether you are obedient to Him or disobedient to Him. You feel at that time that you are on the right path, or at the very least, you are the beloved of God, And God loves doers of good who are perfect in their actions, even if this kindness comes from an unbeliever - then what about the obedient one?
4 - For Muslims, their souls changed in this battle or invasion from within, as they wanted victory, He is their ally all the time, and if the other is there, they feel their shortcomings towards the Creator and review themselves.

This is what happens to your brain when you fail
In her article “Eight Reasons You Should Be Happy When You Fail,” Rose Costas said, “We fail because we grow, explore, and want solutions to life’s problems. When you fail and overcome your disappointment, you are more likely to dig deep within yourself for strength you never knew existed. You will realize What are you really made of and how resilient are you.” Failure is inevitable. How we move forward from failure determines whether failure becomes a biologically ingrained habit or a fragmented memory. what are you going to choose? In his book Adaptation: Why Success Always Begins with Failure, Tim Harford writes, “We are so careful not to 'put an end to a decision we regret' that we end up doing more damage as we try to erase it.” The thought process we engage in after failure can Be the thing that strengthens or diminishes our ability to succeed in future endeavors. How do we train ourselves to respond positively to defeat? When we win, our brains release endorphins, dopamine and serotonin, which encourage us to engage in a task again. When we feel like failure, our brains release cortisol and leave us with feelings of acceptance and security.

The psychology of schadenfreude
Laughing at someone's misfortune is part of being human. We all have a dark side. There is a part of our brain that is triggered when we are rewarded at someone else's expense. Schadenfreude is when we laugh at someone else's misfortune. The word Schadenfreude comes from the two German words, Schaden and Freude, which are hurt and joy. Schadenfreude gives us pleasure. The brain will choose pleasure over fear every time. Have you ever disappointed someone at work or at home? Just as it is beneficial to include someone in the group, making them a member and accessing their resources, it is also beneficial to exclude someone from the group, denying them access to resources, and thus providing more for yourself at the expense of that other person. We are conditioned to avoid what we fear, and to seek what pleases us. If alienating someone is fun, it's probably also addictive. On some level, we know that insulting someone, lying, or cheating is not a good thing. But in a few ways, we may do so with some reluctance. A research team from the University of Basel in Switzerland gave study participants extra dopamine, the pleasure chemical that all drugs and alcohol force the brain to release. People who got more dopamine were more likely to cheat if they knew they wouldn't get caught or suffer any consequences. The feeling of schadenfreude is felt by everyone. We can't help but feel amused when some people, especially some celebrities, politicians, and other public figures make embarrassing mistakes.
The comment on previous studies
1 - Sadness brings out the energy latent in you, the energy of strength, and brings out the last drop of meekness, laziness, and failure to release one’s energy.
2 - The feeling of failure is sad for the soul, and as you saw in the previous study, it releases the stress hormone “cortisol,” which puts the entire body under pressure and stimulates the person to think about solving problems if possible.
3 - So the Muslims were in need of some sadness in order to change their minds about dividing the spoils to which they had become accustomed in the previous period, to sadness that arranges their thoughts so that priorities should be in the first place, not in the position of after the cold spoils.
4 - As for the gloating of the Jews and hypocrites, note: 300 of the hypocrites retreated with Abdullah Ibn Ubayy, and certainly they do not want to be branded hypocritical among Muslims so as not to isolate them socially and end their position with Islam to this extent. Gloating and spreading rumors is the master of the situation at that time if so to speak.
5 - As you saw in the study: We all have a dark side in which we rejoice in harming others, and this is an indication of our own malice and our jealousy of this person. He is superior to us in something, so when harm, poverty, or anything else befalls him, as stated in the battle, we are in our happiest state.
6 - Note: gloating is the work of hypocrites and Jews, not the work of believers, so why do Muslims gloat over each other?
