The Second Battle of Badr: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

Abu Sufyan went on to say, <blockquote> “Muhammad is going to show up and I do not want to be the one who does not show up for the battle as this would only embolden them. I would rather want Muhammad and his army to not show up, and so if you can go back to Medina and convince him to stay there, I will give you twenty camels - ten five year old camels and ten four year old camels. I will keep these with Suhayl ibn Amr to hold on for you until you return.” </blockquote>

Naeem ibn Masoud, a friend of Abu Sufyan, said to him, <blockquote> “O Abu Yazid, do you guarantee me twenty camels? If so, I will leave for Medina immediately and will change the companion’s minds about coming forth to war?” </blockquote> He replied, <blockquote> “Yes, I promise.” </blockquote> Naeem said, <blockquote> “I am leaving now.” </blockquote>

Naeem got on his camel and rode rapidly towards Medina. He reached the city with his head shaved, as he had prepared himself for the hajj pilgrimage and when he arrived, he saw that the companions of the Prophet were preparing themselves for battle. They saw Naeem and asked him, <blockquote> “Where are you coming from?” </blockquote> He replied, <blockquote> “I have just performed the umrah in Mecca.” </blockquote> They asked him, <blockquote> “Do you have any news from Abu Sufyan?” </blockquote> He replied, <blockquote> “Yes, when I was leaving I saw him with an army – the likes of which you have never seen before! He has asked his allies for help and was starting his journey with a massive number of soldiers! I suggest that you stay in Medina and do not go to the battlefield. You fought them last year and each and every one of you was severely wounded; your elders were killed and Muhammad was also seriously injured. Considering all of this, you still want to fight Abu Sufyan again? You have made the wrong decision and I really feel that none of you will survive this next battle!” </blockquote>
