The historians mentioned that the Prophet (s) had marched to the battle of Uhud with one thousand of his companions but before they reached their destination, three hundred hypocrites had gone back[^2] and there might be some other hypocrites who had not gone back for fear of being exposed.

Even if there were only these three hundred hypocrites among this thousand of the Muslims, it would be enough evidence confirming that hypocrisy was spread at the time of the revelation; then how could it be ceased only when the revelation stopped and the Prophet (s) went to the better world? Was the existence of the Prophet (s) the reason behind the hypocrisy of the hypocrites?

Ahmad bin Hanbal has mentioned in his Musnad, vol.5 a long tradition narrated by Abut Tufayl about this calamity and at the end of the tradition it has been said that the Prophet (s) had cursed a group of his companions on that day. [^2] Mentioned by all the historians who have recorded the events of Uhud. (398) messengers have already passed away before him; if then he dies or is killed will you turn back upon your heels?

And whoever turns back upon his heels, he will by no means do harm to Allah in the least and Allah will reward the grateful) 3:144. Al-Bukhari mentioned in his Sahih[^1] a tradition narrated by Abu Hurayra that the Prophet (s) had said: “While I will be standing (on the Day of Resurrection), a group of people will come.
