The Prophet said while others were also listening: “The first time I hit the pickaxe [on the rock) and that lightning flashed, I saw the palaces of Hira and Madayin that looked like the fangs of dogs in that lightning, and Gabriel informed me that my nation would conquer those palaces. And in the second flash of the lightning, the red palaces of the Rome territory were revealed to me, and Gabriel informed me that my nation would conquer them.

In the third flash, I saw the palaces of Sana’a, and Gabriel informed me that my nation would conquer those palaces, so it is good news for you [8] . The Arrival of Confederates of Armies The large army of Quraysh and other allied parties arrived in groups with their weapons they had and camped at the foot of Mount Uhud, but when they did not encounter the Muslim army, they moved towards Medina until they reached the side of the ditch.

Because they were unable to advance further, they camped on the same side of the ditch. In the meantime, the news of the breaking of the treaty by the Jews of Bani Qurayzah also reached the Messenger of Allah (PBUHH) and he got worried.

Indeed, it was a difficult task, because with this incident, the enemy had surrounded the Muslims from all sides, and this was the danger that Bani Qurayzah posed, as the Muslim troops were taking a position in front of the Confederate armies by the trench, Bani Qurayzah used the opportunity to attack inside the city and the women, children and the people’s houses were attacked and looted.

This news was not hidden and all the Muslims were gradually informed about the breaking of the treaty by Bani Qurayzah and their fear and anxiety increased [9] . In the meantime, ‘Amr ibn ‘Abd Wudd, who was considered the bravest Arab man and equal to a thousand men, put himself in front of the ranks of the Muslims and challenged them to a duel. When he noticed that no one responded to him, he started mocking and taunting the Muslims.

And no one except Ali stood up every time he put forward the challenge but the Messenger of Allah (PBUHH) told him to sit, as no other person responded to him and dared to challenge him. Not only did they not have the courage to challenge ‘Amr, but they also scared others from fighting with him and made everyone’s hearts empty.
