Quiz time (26):
In Which battle 3,000 Muslim Soldiers (At prophet (saw) time) met 200,000
enemies & got victory over them?
Ans:
The Battle of Mu'tah.
Their (Romans) abuse reached its peak when they
killed Al-Haarith ibn ‘Umayr Al-'Azdi, may Allah be pleased with him.
Consequently, the Prophet, (pbuh), called the
Muslims to go out to fight the Romans so that he would discipline them and put
an end to their barbarian conduct. Quickly, three thousand warriors assembled
and the Prophet, (pbuh),, allocated three standards to three leaders to whom the
Prophet, (pbuh),
decided to assign leadership of the army in tandem to. He (pbuh), said: "If Zayd ibn Haarithah is wounded, let
Ja‘far ibn Abi Taalib succeed him. If Ja‘far is wounded, let ‘Abdullaah ibn
Rawaahah, succeed him."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Having assumed leadership, Khaalid, may Allah be
pleased with him, wanted to save the Muslim army in a way that would maintain
its entity and cause dread in the enemy. In his opinion the solution was to
retreat and give the enemy the impression that new reinforcements had come to
the Muslims. He kept his ground in the battlefield until night fell and he
utilized the darkness to change the warriors' positions, replacing the right
wing with the left and the vanguard with the rearguard. He commissioned his
cavalry to create clouds of dust and noisy clamor. Therefore the Romans thought
that the Muslims were provided with reinforcements, so they lost power and the
Muslims launched a fierce attack against them. Khaalid, may Allah be pleased
with him, reported that he broke nine swords fighting, with nothing remaining
in his hands but a Yemeni saber.
Thus, Khaalid, may Allah be pleased with him,
managed to return with the army to Al-Madeenah with a small amount of potential
losses, and killed numberless Romans, which constituted a great victory to
Islam and Muslims.
That was the battle of Mu'tah, which was full of
valuable lessons. Once a person has read about its incidents, he cannot help
but admire the Muslim combatants – those amazing soldiers, 3,000 in number, who
faced the immense army of 200,000 warriors.
The battle of Mu'tah is, according to all military
criteria, a miracle and a supernatural event. The battle rendered the enemy
face to face with the Islamic military principle that the Muslims would fight
others based neither on troops nor military gear. Instead they fought by virtue
of their religion. If we intend to fight sincerely for the sake of Allah and
exhaust available means of military preparation, victory will be ours by the
permission of Allah.
