The believers sacrificed their lives to save Muhammad

Emotional and influential events in Muhammad Life-1

The war of Uhud was the second battle between Muslims and the unbelievers. The unbelievers were fourfold the number of Muslims.

The unbelievers of Mecca attacked the Muslims in Al-Madina.

There are some 400 Kilometers between Mecca and Al-Madina.

Uhud is a mountain few Kilometers far from Al-Madina.

In this war, the unbelievers had surrounded the Prophet Muhammad aiming to kill Him, they hit Him many times, and they injured him and caused him to bleed.

About ten believers sacrificed their lives and saved the Prophet Muhammad; then the rest of Muslims chased the unbelievers and enforced them to escape and go back to Mecca.

Then, the war of Uhud was done.

Muhammad was hurt too much in this war, not only physically but also emotionally.

This was because his uncle Hamza was killed in this war.

Not only was Hamza killed, but the killer cut his abdomen and took off his liver!

This was because an unbeliever lady hated Hamza very much and she hired a slave which was a Spear Sniper and promised him to free him and to give him a lot of money if he killed Hamza and take off his liver and bring it to her.

Prophet Muhammad and Hamza were of the same age; although Hamza was his uncle, however, they were like brothers and friends who shared together their childhood.

Upon seeing that Hamza was killed with cut abdomen and no liver; the Prophet Muhammad forgot his wounds and bleeding.

Although Muhammad knows that Hamza will dwell in the Eternal Paradise, however, He felt very sorry and kept silent for a while with tearing eyes.

Muhammad's companions also kept silent with tearing eyes too. They felt very sorry and did not know what to say.

After a while, one of Muhammad's companions said: O Messenger of Allah, curse those disbelievers.

Prophet Muhammad said, "I have not been sent to curse people but as a mercy to all mankind."

It should be emphasized that, the freed slave who killed Hamza and took off his liver, embraced Islam few years after the war of Uhud; he came on unto Muhammad asking his forgiveness, and Muhammad forgave him!
