The Battle of Hamra'-ul-Asad
As it was mentioned before, at the end of the Battle of 'Uhud, the victorious army of 'Abu-Sufyan, after winning the Battle, immediately started to go toward Mecca. When they reached the region of Ruha', they seriously regretted from their action. They decided to return to Medina and destroy the rest of Muslims totally. Then, the Prophet (S) was informed of the matter. So, he ordered the army of 'Uhud to be prepared for participating in another fight. This news met the army of the Quraysh when they wondered and were frightened!
At this time, another subject weakened their courage more than before. One of the pagans by the name of Ma'bad-ul-Khaza'i who saw the situation of the Prophet (S) and his followers and was shaken by it, told him (S) that observing their situation was very unpleasant and intolerable for them (the pagans). He said those words and went away. When he reached the army of 'Abu-Sufyan in Ruha', 'Abu-Sufyan asked him about the Prophet of Islam (S). In answer to him, Ma'bad said: "I saw Muhammad with a large army who were pursuing you."
'Abu-Sufyan and his followers decided to retreat, but they asked a group from the tribe of 'Abdul-Qays, who were passing by there, to inform the Prophet of Islam (S) that 'Abu-Sufyan and the idolaters of the Quraysh, with a large army, were going towards Medina in order to annihilate the rest of the companions of the Prophet (S). When this message reached the Prophet (S) and Muslims, they said:
They waited and waited there, but no sign appeared from the enemy's army. Then, after three days remaining there, they returned to Medina. This verse, and two verses next to it, point to this incident. It indicates that those who accepted the invitation of Allah and the Messenger (S), and after having some wounds afflicted on the day of 'Uhud, they became ready to take part in another fight against the enemy. From among them, those who did good and were pious, viz. those who took part in the war with pure intention and complete sincerity, will have a great reward. It says:
