ENGLISH- THE SEALED NECTAR – MEMORIES OF THE PROPHET (PBUH)-AUTHOR- ISSAM DIAB
The third and last stage of the life of the Messenger [pbuh] embodies the fruitful
results of his call to Islam, which were the consequences of long-timed holy fights in
the way of Allâh (Jihad), troubles, toil, disturbances, trials and a lot of bloody
conflicts and battles, which lasted for over twenty years.
The conquest of Makkah was considered the most serious profit achieved by Muslims
during those years. For it affected the course of events and consequently altered the

Arabs’ whole life. It was a decisive distinction between preconquest and post-
conquest periods. For Quraish, at that time, was in the eyes of Arabs the defenders
and helpers of Arabs. Other Arabs are only their ancillaries. The submission of
Quraish is, therefore, estimated to be a final elimination of paganism in the Arabian
Peninsula.
Being so close and rather inseparable, the two phases of this stage intervene in such
a way that a happening of one phase occurs during the progress of the other.
However, we have preferred — for expository purposes — to deal with these two
phases distinctively. The fighting phase was given the priority in order, due to the
fact that it is more intimate and fit than the other.
Hunain Ghazwah
When Malik bin ‘Awf — the general leader — decided to march and fight the Muslims,
he made his countrypeople take their wealth, women and children with them to
Awtas — which is a valley in Hawazin land and is quite near Hunain. It differs from
Hunain in its being adjacent to Dhi-Al-Majaz which is around ten miles from Makkah
in ‘Arafat’s direction. [Fath Al-Bari 8/27,42]
As soon as they had camped in Awtas, people crowded round Malik. The old sane
Duraid bin As-Simmah, who was well-known as a war-experienced man, and who
was among those who gathered round Malik, asked: "What valley are we in?" "In
Awtas," they said. "What a good course it is for horses! It is neither a sharp pointed
height nor a loosed soiled plain. What? Why do I hear camels’ growling, the donkeys’
braying, the children’s cries and the sheep bleating?" asked Duraid. They said: "Malik
bin ‘Awf had made people bring their women, properties and children with them." So
he called Malik and asked him what made him do such a thing. Malik said that his
aim was to have everybody’s family and properties around them so that they fight
Page 8 of 11

fiercely to protect them." "I swear by Allâh that you are nothing but a shepherd,"
answered Duraid, "Do you believe that there is anything whatsoever, can stand in
the way of a defeated one or stop him from fleeing? If you win the battle you avail
nothing but a man with a sword and a spear; but if you lose you will bring disgrace
on your people and properties," then he resumed his talk and went on wondering
about some septs and their leaders. "O Malik, thrusting the distinguished people of
Hawazin into the battlefield will avail you nothing. Raise them up to where they can
be safe. Then make the young people mount their horses and fight. If you win, those
whom you tarried will follow you, but if you were the loser it would be a loss of a
battle, but your kinsmen, people and properties would not be lost."
But Malik, the general leader, refused this suggestion. "By Allâh," he said, "I will not
do such a thing. You must have grown a senile. Hawazin have to obey me, or else I
will lean my body against this sword so that it penetrates through my back." He
rejected any sort of contribution of Duraid’s in that concern.
"We obey you," said his people, Duraid consequently said: "Today is a day that I
have not missed but surely I will not be tempted to witness."
The spies that Malik had already dispatched to spy Muslim forces, returned with their
limbs cut off. "Woe unto you! What happened to you?" Said Malik. They said: "We
have seen distinguished people on spotted horsebacks. What you see, would not
have happened if we had been firmly together."
News about the enemy’s marching were conveyed to the Messenger of Allâh [pbuh],
so he sent out Al-Aslami with orders to mix with people, stay with them so that he
would be able to know their news and to convey it to the Messenger of Allâh [pbuh]
when he turns back. That was exactly what he managed to do.
On Shawwal, the nineteenth, the captive day, the Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] left
Makkah accompanied by twelve thousand Muslims. Ten thousand of those had
previously shared in Makkah Conquest. A great number of the other two thousand,
who were Makkans, had recently embraced Islam. That march was on the nineteenth
day of his conquest to Makkah. He borrowed a hundred armours with their
equipment from Safwan bin Omaiyah. He appointed ‘Itab bin Usaid as a governor
over Makkah. When it was evening time, a horseman came to the Messenger of Allâh
[pbuh] and said: "I have climbed up so and so mountains and came across Hawazin
with their riding camels, livestock and sheep. Hawazin wholly were gathered together
there." The Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] smiled then and said: "They will all be
Muslims’ spoils tomorrow, if Allâh will." That night Anas bin Abi Murthid Al-Ghanawi
volunteered to guard. [Abu Da'ud]
On their way to Hunain they saw a great green Nabk plant, that was called Dhat-

Anwat (the one with suspenders). That was because the Arabs used to hang their
weapons on it, slay beasts under it and keep to it. So some of army members asked
the Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] to make them a Nabk with suspenders as the one
they had. "Allâh is the Greatest of all!" He said, "I swear by the One in Whose Hand
is Muhammad’s soul, that you have just said what the people of Moses said to him.
They said ‘Make us a god as the one they have.’ Surely you are ignorant people.
These are Sunnah, but you will follow and comply with the modes of life of those who
preceded you." [At-Tirmidhi]
Seeing how great in number the army was, some of them said: "We shall not be
defeated." Their statement sounded hard upon the Messenger of Allâh [pbuh].
On Wednesday night the tenth of Shawwal, the Muslim army arrived at Hunain. Malik
bin ‘Awf, who had previously entered the valley by night, gave orders to his army to
hide inside the valley and lurk for the Muslims on roads, entrances, narrow hiding
places. His orders to his men were to hurl stones at Muslims whenever they caught
sight of them and then to make a one-man attack against them.
At early dawn the Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] started mobilizing his army and
distributing posts and flags to people. In the dark and just before dawn the Muslims
moved towards Hunain Valley. They started descending into it unaware of the
presence of an enemy lurking for them inside the valley.
So at the moment they were camping, arrows began showering intensively at them,
whereas the enemy’s battalions started a fierce attack against the Muslims, who had
to retreat in disorder and utter confusion. It was such a shatteringly defeat that Abu
Sufyan bin Harb, who had recently embraced Islam, said that their retreat would not
stop till they got to the Red Sea. Jablah or Kildah bin Al-Junaid commented on that
by saying: "Surely magic has grown inactive today."
The Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] turned to the right and said: "Come on, people! I
am the Messenger of Allâh. I am Muhammad, the son of Abdullah." Those
who stoodfast by him were only few Emigrants and some of his kinsmen.
The matchless bravery of the Prophet [R] was then brought to light. He went on and
on in his attempts to make his mule standfast in the face of the disbelievers while
saying loudly:
However, Abu Sufyan, who was then holding the rein of the Prophet’s mule, and Al-
‘Abbas, who was holding its stirrup; were endeavouring to make it halt. The
Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] dismounted and asked his Lord to render him help.

The Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] ordered his uncle Al-‘Abbas — who was a sonorous
voiced man — to call out on the followers. As loudly as he could, Al-‘Abbas shouted:
"Where are the lancers?" "By Allâh," Al-‘Abbas said, "Upon hearing my voice calling
them back, they turned round to the battlefield as if they had been oryxes (wild
cows) tending towards their calves."
"Here we are, at your service. Here we are."[Sahih Muslim 2/100] They said. There you see
them trying to stop their camels and reverse to the battle. He who was unable to
force his camel to turn back, would take his armour, fling it round his neck, and
hastily dismount his camel with his weapon in his hand letting his camel move freely
and run towards the voice source. Voices would grow louder and louder till a hundred
of them gathered round the Prophet and resumed the fight.
Those who were called out upon next were Al-Ansar, the Helpers, "O, folks of Al-
Ansar! Folks of Al-Ansar!"
The last group to be called out upon were Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj. Muslims
battalions poured successively into the battlefield in the same manner that they had
left it. The stamina of both parties was superb. Both of them stoodfast and fought
fiercely. The Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] was so eagerly and furiously watching the
battle that he said:
Their eyes were thick with dust and the enemy began to retreat in utter confusion.
