The strength of the confederate armies consisted of over 10,000 soldiers while the Muslim defenders numbered to about a third of them. \n Rasool-Allah -saww decided to dig a trench around Medina in order to protect the Muslims as the confederates had planned to attack them from multiple directions. \n The digging of the trench was a painstaking and strenuous task that exhausted the Muslims.

They were working day and night digging around Medina, including going several days without eating any food, i.e., Rasool-Allah -saww was offered a disc of bread by his daughter (Syeda Fatima -asws ) which was the Prophet -saww \u2019s only meal in three days.\u00a0 Similar was the condition of Ali -asws Ibn Abi Talib -asws and other companions of Rasool-Allah -saww \u2013 except for the hypocrites who fabricated worthless excuses to take leave of absence from the hard work.

\n After a few days of being unsuccessful in getting any closer to the Muslims, a famous warrior named Amro Bin Abdi Wudd, managed to cross the defensive trench along with a handful of his companions and shouted at the Muslims for duel.\u00a0 The Muslims were in shock and sat as if there were birds sitting upon their heads \u2013 entirely stunned. \u00a0No one wanted to confront him except Ali -asws Ibn Abi Talib -asws . \u00a0Rasool-Allah -saww finally sent Ali -asws to answer the call to fight.

\n Imam Ali -asws offered for Amro Bin Abdi Wudd to strike first, to which he agreed and hit his sword on the head of Imam Ali -asws , cracking the protective helmet and injuring Imam Ali -asws \u2019s head.
