The Battle of Uhud

"Allah ne yaqeenan apna wada tumhare saath pura kiya, jab tum uski ijazat se apne dushman ko shikast dene ke qareeb the, magar tum ne himmat haar di aur faislay par behas shuru kar di, aur phir nafarmaani ki, jabke Allah ne tumhe woh dikhaya jo tum chahte the. Tum mei se kuch log duniya ki lalach mei par gaye aur kuch log aakhirat ke talabgaar they. Phir Allah ne tumhe azmaish ke liye un (dushman) se hata diya. Magar unho ney tumhein maaf kar diya, kyunke Allah imandaron par meharbaan hai." (Quran 3:152)

Quraish aur Badr ke baad ki Haqiqat:

Makkah mei har taraf khushi ka alam tha jab Palestine se aayi caravan wapas pohanchi. Ye caravan, jo 1,000 oonton aur 50,000 dinar ki maal le kar chali thi, ek mukhtasir waqt ke liye Madinah ke paas Muslims ke haathon girne wali thi. Sirf Abu Sufyan ki soojh-boojh aur leadership ne ise Muslims ke qabze se bachaaya. Caravan ne 100% munafa kamaaya tha, aur har Makkah ka maamooli se maamooli gharana bhi is munafe ka hissa lene ke liye intezaar kar raha tha.

Isi khushi ke beech, Quraish ka shikasta aur thaka hua lashkar Makkah ki taraf laut raha tha. Yeh lashkar Abu Sufyan ki madad ke liye nikla tha, lekin Abu Jahl ki zidd aur badle ki aag ne ek jang ko janam diya jo Quraish ke liye zaleel karne wali sabit hui.

Hind ka Ghum aur Badla:

Jang Badr ke baare mei pehle paighaam dene wala ek tez oont par Makkah pohcha. Woh apni qameez phaadta, chilata aur rone lagta tha. Makkah ke log uske gird jama hue, aur apne apno ke haalat puchhne lage. Unhe pata chala ke unke pyaare qatal ho chuke hain ya qaid mein hain. Hind, jo Abu Sufyan ki biwi thi, yeh sun kar shock mei thi:

• Unka baap Utbah Ali aur Hamza ke haathon qatal hua.

• Unka chacha Sheiba Hamza ke haathon mara gaya.

• Unka bhai Waleed Ali ke haathon qatal hua.

• Unka beta Handhalah bhi Ali ke haathon qatal hua.

Hind ne Hamza aur Ali ko baddua di aur unse badla lene ki kasam khayi.

Jang Badr: Muslimon ka Pehla Bara Muqabla

Jang Badr Islam aur Quraish ke darmiyan pehli barhi jang thi. Sirf 313 Muslims ne 1,000 mushrikeen ka samna kiya aur ek ya do ghante ki sakht larai ke baad Quraish ka lashkar tut gaya.

• 70 Quraish marey gaye aur 70 qaid hue.

• Sirf 14 Muslim shaheed hue.

• Hazrat Ali ne akelay 18 mushrikeen ko qatal kiya aur 4 aur ke qatl mei shaamil rahay.

• Hazrat Hamza ne 4 logon ko mara aur Hazrat Ali ke saath mil kar 4 aur ka qatl kiya.

Jang ke baad ke halaat mei, Quraish ke behtareen log, jo jang mei shamil hue the, mare gaye ya qaid ho gaye. Un mei Abu Jahl bhi shamil thay, aur Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed ka bhai, Waleed, qaid kar liya gaya.

The Battle of Uhud ka Aghaz aur Quraish ke Iraday:

Makkah ke log Jang-e-Badr mei apni shikast ka inteqam lena chahte the. Iska aghaz ek conference se hua, jo Abu Sufyan ki sarparasti mein hui. Is conference mei Quraish ke qabeelay ke logon ne faisla kiya ke woh Muslims ke khilaf ek barhi fauj taiyar karenge.

Ikramah aur Intiqam ka Jazba:

• Ikramah bin Abu Jahl ka inteqam lene ka jazba sabse zyada tha, kyunke unke walid, Abu Jahl, Badr mei maare gaii the.

• Abu Sufyan ne bhi kaha ke unka beta, Handhalah, jo Badr mei maara gaya, ka inteqam lena uski zimmedari hai.

• Faisla yeh hua ke is baar Quraish ke tamam qabeelay mil kar ek badi lashkar taiyar karenge, aur is jang ke kharche ke liye Makkah ke caravan se milne wale 50,000 dinar istemal honge.

Matam aur Ransom ka Faisla:

1. Abu Sufyan ne faisla kiya ke:

   • Shuhada par roona mana hai, takay inteqam ka jazba zinda rahe.

   • Qaidiyon ki rihai ke liye abhi koi koshish nahi hogi, taki Muslims ransom ki zyada rakam na maang lein.

2. Phir bhi kuch log apne qaidiyon ki rihai ke liye secret tor par chale gaye:

   • Ikramah, Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed, aur Hisham ne apne bhai Waleed ko 4,000 dirham de kar rihai dilayi.

Hazrat Waleed ka Islam qabool karna:

• Hazrat Waleed rihai ke baad Muslims ke camp se Madinah wapas chale gaii aur Islam qabool kar liya.

• Unhone Nabi Muhammad (SAWS) ke saath wafa aur ibadat mei zindagi guzaari, magar apne bhai Khalid ke saath unka rishta mazboot aur pyar bhara raha.

Quraish ka Economic Crisis aur Inteqam:

• Badr ke baad Quraish ka Syria aur Palestine ke saath tijarati rasta band ho gaya tha.

• Safwan bin Umayyah aur Abu Sufyan ne faisla kiya ke Muslims ko har haal mei tabah karna zaruri hai, taki unki tijarat phir se chale.

Abu Aamir the Knave ka Shamil hona:

• Ek shakhs jo pehle Madinah ka tha, Abu Aamir, Quraish ke saath mila. Usne Nabi Muhammad (SAWS) ke Madinah mei aane ka mukhalif hokar Madinah chhorh diya tha.

• Muslims ne is shakhs ko "Abu Aamir the Knave" kaha, aur yeh Quraish ko Muslims ke khilaf bhadka raha tha.

Yeh tayyariyan Jang-e-Uhud ka aaghaz thi, jo baad mei Islam aur Kufr ke darmiyan ek aham aur taareekhi ma'araka ban gayi.

1. Waqidi: Maghazi, pp. 156-7
2. Ibn Hisham: Vol. 2, p. 67.
Jang-e-Uhud ki Tayariyan aur Shuruaat:

Abu Aamir ka Irada:

• Abu Aamir, jo Madinah ka ek mukhalif shakhs tha, ne Abu Sufyan se wada kiya ke woh apne qabeelay, Aws, ke logon ko Muslim army chor kar Quraish ke saath milne ke liye mana lega.

• Aws, jo Madinah ke do bade qabailon mein se ek tha, Muslim fauj ka ek bara hissa tha. Abu Sufyan ne is tajweez ko khushi se manzoor kiya.

Note from writer; Aws ek qabeelay ka naam hai jo Madinah ke do bade Arab qabailon me se ek tha.

Quraish ki Lashkar Taiyari:

• March 625 mei, Quraish ne 3,000 faujiyon ke sath Madinah ki taraf march kiya.

  • In mei 700 sipahi armour mei thay.

  • Lashkar ke sath 3,000 oont aur 200 ghoday bhi thay.

  • Quraish ke sath 15 auratein bhi gayi, jinka kaam tha sipahiyon ko jazba dilana aur unhe unke shaheed saathiyon ki yaad dilana.

  • In auraton mei Hind (Abu Sufyan ki biwi), Ikrimah ki biwi, aur Khalid ki behen bhi shamil thi. Hind is group ki leader thi.

  • Kuch auratein tambourine aur dhol le kar gayi, takay maidan mei jazba barhaya ja sake.

Wahshi ka Iraada:

• Jubair bin Mut’im, Quraish ke ek leader, ne apne ghulam Wahshi bin Harb ko kaha:

  • Agar tum Hazrat Hamza (RA) ko maar do, to tumhein azaadi milegi.

  • Wahshi ek azeem African ghulam tha, javelin chalane ka maahir, aur kabhi apna nishana nahi chhoehta tha.

• Hind, jo Hazrat Hamza se apne walid ka inteqam lena chahti thi, ne bhi Wahshi se wada kiya ke agar woh Hazrat Hamza ko qatal karega, to uske sone ke gehne usko milenge.

Muslims ki Tayari:

• Nabi Muhammad (SAWS) ko unke chacha Hazrat Abbas ke zariye Makkah ki tayariyon ka pehle se pata chal gaya tha.

• Jab Quraish ka lashkar Madinah ke kareeb pohancha, to Nabi Muhammad (SAWS) ne 1,000 faujiyon ke sath Madinah se bahar march kiya.

  • 100 sipahi armour mein thay, aur 2 ghoday thay (ek khud Nabi (SAWS) ka tha).

• Raat ek maqam Shaikhan ke paas guzari gayi, jo Madinah ke north mei ek chhoti pahari thi.

Munafiqon ka Peeche Hattna:

• Agle din Abdullah bin Ubayy, jo munafiqon ka leader tha, apne 300 logon ke sath fauj chor kar Madinah wapas chala gaya.

• Uska kehna tha ke Madinah ke bahar ladna bekaar hai aur unke nazdeek ye jang haarne wali thi.

• Iske baad Muslim fauj 700 sipahiyon par reh gayi.

Nabi (SAWS) ka Maidan Chunna:

• Pehle Nabi (SAWS) ka irada tha ke jang Madinah ke andar ladhi jaye, magar aksar Muslims ne is baat par zor diya ke Quraish ka bahar samna kiya jaye.

• Nabi Muhammad (SAWS) ne apni fauj ko Mount Uhud ke neechay la kar deploy kiya, taki maidan ka faida utha sakein.

Is tarah Jang-e-Uhud ka aaghaz hua, jo Islam ki tareekh mei ek aham mor tha.

1. Waqidi: Maghazi, p. 161
2. Ibn Hisham: Vol. 2, pp. 61-2.

Uhud ek bara pahaari silsila hai jo Madinah ke 4 mile north mei waqia hai. Iski bulandee takreeban 1,000 feet hai aur ye 5 mile lambai tak pheli hui hai. Is jang ka maqam Uhud ke qarib ka ek ilaqa tha, jo jang-e-strategy ke lihaaz se bohot ahem tha.

Muslim Fauj ka Iqamat:

1. Fauj ki Positioning:

   • Nabi Muhammad ﷺ ne apni fauj ko ek compact formation mei rakha, jiska samna qabeela Quraysh ke saamnay tha.

   • Dayein (Right wing): Ek bulandi ke paas (spur ke qarib) tha jo mahfooz tha.

   • Baen (Left wing): Ainain ke chhoti pahadi ke paas rakha gaya, jo musalmano ke pichle hisse ki rakhwali ke liye zaroori tha.

   • 50 archers (teer-andaz) ko Ainain ke upar mukarrar kiya gaya aur unhein sakht hidayat di gayi ke:

     • Apni jagah na chhorhna.

     • Fauj jeet rahi ho ya haar rahi ho, position na badalna.

2. Auratein:

   • Muslim fauj ke peeche 14 auratein mojood thin jo pani pohchane aur zakhmiyon ka ilaaj karne ki zimmedar thin. Inmein Hazrat Fatimah (RA), Nabi ﷺ ki beti aur Hazrat Ali (RA) ki biwi bhi shaamil thin.

Quraysh Fauj ka Iqamat:

1. Fauj ki Positioning:

   • Centre (Bees ka hissa): Infantry (paidal lashkar).

   • Right wing: Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed ke sath 100 ghur sawar.

   • Left wing: Ikrimah ke sath 100 ghur sawar.

   • Archers (Teer-andaz): Quraysh ke aglay saf mein 100 archers thay.

   • Commanders: Abu Sufyan ne Amr bin Al-Aas ko cavalry ki coordination ka zimma diya.

Quraysh Auratein:

• Hind bint Utbah, jo Quraysh ki leader aur Abu Sufyan ki biwi thi, apni team ke sath lashkar ke agay gayi aur Quraysh ke mardoon ko jazba dilaaya:

  • Unhein Jang-e-Badr ke mare hue apno ki yaad dilaayi.

  • Ek naraaya gaaya:
    "Agar tum agay badhoge, hum tumhe galay lagaenge. Agar peeche hategay, to tumse alag ho jaenge."

Jang ki Taktiki Taiyari:

• Nabi ﷺ ne Quraysh ki cavalry aur zyada fauj ka faida lene se roknay ke liye apni position aise rakhi ke woh restricted (mehfooz) rahein.

• Quraysh ko khule maidan mei larna tha, magar Nabi ﷺ ne unhein ek restricted area mei ladaai ke liye majboor kar diya.

• Ainain par archers: Quraysh ke cavalry ke pichle hissay par hamla karne ki koshish ko roknay ka plan tha.

Yeh sab kuch jang ke maidan mei ek bohot strategic plan tha, lekin aage jo hua woh archers ke awaamir todne ki wajah se ek mohim ka pechida moqa ban gaya.

1. Ibn Hisham: Vol. 2, pp. 65-66; Waqidi: Maghazi, p. 175.
2. Ibn Hisham: Vol. 2, p. 68. Waqidi: Maghazi, p. 176.

 
Yeh Saturday, 22 March 625 CE ka subah ka waqt tha (7th Shawwal, 3 Hijri) — Bilkul ek saal aur ek hafta baad Jang-e-Badr ke. Is waqt dono faujain ek dosray ke samne saf band kar chuki thin:

• Muslim fauj: 700 ladakoo.

• Quraysh: 3,000 ghair-Muslim.

Yeh pehli dafa tha ke Abu Sufyan ne khud maidan-e-jang mei Nabi ﷺ ke khilaf fauj ki qiyadat ki, magar uske sath bohot kaabil sardaran aur lashkar tha jo is jang mein jeet ke liye mutmaeen tha.

Muslimaan apne dilon mei Quran ki yeh ayat dohra rahe thay:

"Humein Allah kaafi hai, aur woh kitna behtareen madadgaar hai."
(Surah Aal-e-Imran, Ayat 173)

Abu Amir ka aws ko gumrah karne ka koshish karna:

Jang shuru hone se pehle, Quraysh ki safon se ek shaks aage barha jo Abu Amir kehlata tha (Muslamaan usay Fasiq (Knave) kahtay thay). Yeh wahi shakhs tha jo Madinah ke Aws qabeelay ka tha, magar Nabi ﷺ aur Islam ke khilaf hone ki wajah se Quraysh ka sathi ban gaya tha.

1. Abu Amir ka bolna:

   • Woh apne 50 sathiyon aur kuch Quraysh ke ghulaamon ke sath Muslim safon ke samne aaya aur Aws ko mukhatib karte hue bola:
     "Aey logon-e-Aws! Main Abu Amir hoon. Tum mujhe jante ho!"

   • Magar Aws ka jawab bilkul saaf tha:
     "Tere liye koi khair nahi hai, Aey Fasiq!"

2. Patthar barsaana:
   Aws qabeelay ke logon ne sirf inkaar hi nahi kiya, balke Abu Amir aur uske sathiyon par khushi ke sath pathar barsa diye. Yeh dekh kar Abu Amir aur uska group Quraysh ki safon mein waapis chala gaya.

3. Abu Amir ka paighambarana andaaz:
   Abu Amir ne wahan se lottey waqt ek "paighambarana" baat ki aur kaha:
   "Mere baad meri qaum ko takleef uthani hogi."

   • Magar Quraysh ke log uski baaton se mutasir nahi huay aur unke chehron par mazaq ka izhar tha.

Yeh waqiya Muslim fauj ke jazbe aur Aws ki wafadari ko aur mazboot kar gaya, aur Quraysh ka ek aur chaal nakam ho gayi.

Jab Knave (Abu Amir) ka encounter khatam hua, dono taraf ke tirandaz (archers) ne apne tir chalana shuru kiya. Ye ek qisam ka tirbazi ka muqabla tha jo Quraysh ke 100 tirandazon aur Muslim tirandazon ke darmiyan hua. Muslim tirandaz ya to Eniein (chhoti pahadi) par thay ya Muslims ke agle saf mein phailay hue thay.

Tirbazi ke dauran, Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed apni cavalry (ghur sawar fauj) ke sath Muslimon ke baayein par (left wing) hamla karne barhha, magar Muslim tirandazon ke sahi nishanay ki wajah se peeche hat gaiii. Is muqable ke khatam hone ke baad, Quraysh ki auratein phir se apne geet gaane lagin:

"Hum raat ki betiyan hain..."

Phir jang ka agla marhala shuru hua, jo champions ke mukablay ka tha. Quraysh ka jhanda uthane wala Talha bin Abu Talha agay barh kar pukara:
"Main Talha hoon, Abu Talha ka beta. Koi hai jo mujh se muqabla kare?"

Is challenge ka jawab dene ke liye Hazrat Ali (R.A.) agay barhe aur sirf ek vaar (strike) mei Talha ko gira diya. Talha zakhmi tha aur jab Hazrat Ali (R.A.) ne doosra vaar karne ki koshish ki, Talha ne rehmat ki darkhwast ki, jis par Hazrat Ali (R.A.) ne use maaf kar diya aur peeche hat gaye. Baad mei, jab jang aam hui, Muslim faujiyon ne zakhmi Talha ko qatal kar diya.

Talha ke girne ke baad, ek aur kafir agay barh kar Quraysh ka jhanda uthata, magar use Hazrat Hamza (R.A.) ne qatal kar diya. Jab Hazrat Hamza ne use qatal kiya, to unhe Wahshi (The Savage) ne dekh liya jo Quraysh ki saf ke peechay khada tha. Wahshi ne dheere se daayen taraf se Hazrat Hamza ka peecha karna shuru kiya, kyunke Hazrat Hamza apne turban ke bade shutar-murg ke par ki wajah se door se pehchan mei aate thay.

Is dauran, Quraysh ke jhanda uthane walon ka silsila jaari raha, magar ek ke baad ek sab Muslimon ke haath maray gaii. Sabse zyada Quraysh ke faujiyon ko Hazrat Ali (R.A.) ne qatal kiya.

Ek aur kafir, Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr (Hazrat Abu Bakr ke bete), samne aaya aur muqabla ka challenge diya. Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A.) ne apni talwar nikaali aur uska jawab dene ke liye agay barhne lage, magar Rasool Allah (ﷺ) ne unhe roka aur kaha:
"Apni talwar mein daal lo."

Ye wahi Abdur-Rahman thay jo baad mei Islam qabool karke Musalmanon ke sabse bare sipah-salaron mei se ek ban gaiii aur Syria ke jangon mei shoharat hasil ki.

Ye Jang-e-Uhud ka ibtidaai marhala tha jo 22 March, 625 ko hua.

Ibn Hisham: Vol. 2, p. 67; Ibn Sad: p. 543.
3. Waqidi: Maghazi, p. 176. 

Duels ke baad, jang aam larai mei badal gayi aur dono foujein haath se haath ki larai mei ulajh gayin. Muslimon ki talwar chalane ki maharat aur bahaduri kafiron se zyada thi, magar Quraysh ki tadaad ki zyadaat is faida ko balance kar rahi thi. Jab central ladai chal rahi thi, Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed ne ek aur koshish ki Muslimon ke baayein par (left wing) par hamla karne ki, jahan Rasool Allah (ﷺ) mojood thay, magar Muslim tirandazon ne phir se use peeche hatne par majboor kar diya.

Nabi-e-Kareem (ﷺ) bhi is action mei hissa le rahe thay, aur apne teer Quraysh ki safon par chala rahe thay. Nabi (ﷺ) ke paas Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas khade thay, jo apne waqt ke behtareen tirandazon mei se ek aur teer banane wale maahir bhi thay. Rasool Allah (ﷺ) unhein nishana batate aur Sa’d ka teer hamesha sahi jagah lagta.

Hazrat Hamza (R.A.) Muslim fauj ke baayein hisay ke kareeb lar rahe thay. Is dauran, unhone do kafiron ko qatal kiya aur teesre kafir Saba bin Abdul Uzza ko apni taraf aata dekha. Hazrat Hamza ne pukara, "Idhar aao, O chhilwanay walay ke bete!" (Saba ki maa Makkah mei khatna karne ka kaam karti thi). Saba ka chehra ghusse se surkh ho gaya aur wo talwar lekar Hamza par toot pada.

Jab Hazrat Hamza aur Saba ki talwar aur dhal ka muqabla chal raha tha, Wahshi (jise Hazrat Hamza ko qatal karne ka hukm diya gaya tha) patharon aur jhaadiyon ke peeche chhup kar dheere se qareeb aane laga. Jab wo javelin (bhala) phenkne ki range mei aaya, to usne mazeed faasla naap kar apna bhala uthaya. Isi waqt, Hazrat Hamza ne Saba par maut ka vaar kiya aur usse gira diya. Magar usi lamhe Wahshi ne apna javelin chalaya.

Wahshi ka javelin Hazrat Hamza ke peit (abdomen) mei lag kar uske paar nikal gaya. Hazrat Hamza ne ghusse se Dahar lagayi aur Wahshi ki taraf barhne ki koshish ki, magar chand hi kadam chal kar gir gaye aur apne jaan qurban kar di. Wahshi ne intezar kiya jab tak Hazrat Hamza ka jism bilkul be-harakati na ho gaya, phir wo aage badh kar apna bhala nikal kar aramm se wahan se chala gaya. Hazrat Hamza ke liye aur koi jang nahi bachi - wo Allah aur uske Nabi ke Sher (Lion of Allah) the.

Is qatl ke baad, Quraysh ke saffon mei ghabrahat aur kamzori aane lagi aur Muslimon ne apna dabaav (pressure) barhaya. Jis waqt Quraysh ke kaafi jhanda uthane wale mar chuke ya zakhmi ho chuke thay, ek ghulam ne jhanda uthaya aur larai jaari rakhi, magar wo bhi Muslimon ke haath mar gaya aur jhanda gir gaya. Is par Quraysh fauj bhag gayi aur nakaam ho gayi. Quraysh ke logon ne Muslimon ka peecha chhorha aur wo apne aap ko bachane ke liye bhaagne lage.

Quraysh ki auratein, apne aadmiyon ki halat dekh kar, rona dhona shuru kar diya aur wo bhi apne kapde uthakar jaldi bhaag rahi thi. Ye dekh kar Muslim faujiyon ne haste hue unhein dekhna shuru kar diya. Sirf Amra wahi thi jo wahan hi khadi rahi aur nahi bhagi.

Muslim fauj Quraysh ke camp tak pohanch gayi aur wahan lootmaar shuru kar di. Camp mein afra-tafri mach gayi thi, aur auratein aur ghulam apni jaan bachane ki koshish kar rahe thay. Muslim faujiyon ne har taraf se maal jama karna shuru kar diya. Is waqt Muslim samjhe ke jang jeet li gayi hai aur jang khatam ho chuki hai. Pehla marhala asal mei yahan mukammal hota hai.

Magar Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed aur Ikrimah ki moving cavalry wings apne maqam par masboot khadi thi. Dono ne apne riders ko peeche hatne nahi diya. Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed is halaat ka maushahida karte rahe - ek taraf bhagte Quraysh, doosri taraf lootmare karte Muslim, teesri taraf Ainain par khade archers. Hazrat Khalid ne abhi faisla nahi kiya, magar wo intezar karte rahe jab tak ek moqa unke samne na aa jaye. Jaldi hi, unka intezar rang laane laga.

1. Ibn Hisham: Vol. 2, p. 70. 

2. Waqidi: Maghazi, p. 225.

 
Jab Ainain par moujood archers ne Quraysh ki shikast aur Muslims ke unke camp tak pohanchne ko dekha, to wo apne aap ko rok nahi paaye aur unhone camp ka loot liye jane ka faisla kiya. Quraysh ka camp bohot hi tempting nazar aa raha tha. Unhone apne commander Abdullah bin Jubair se ijaazat mangi ke wo apne doston ke saath camp mein shamil ho sakte hain, lekin Abdullah ne sakhti se mana kar diya. Unhone kaha, "Tumhain achi tarah yaad hai ke Allah ke Rasool ki hidayaat kiye gaye the. Humain yeh hill us waqt tak sambhalni hai jab tak unka hukm na aaye."

Lekin archers ne jawab diya, "Rasoolullah ka matlab yeh nahi tha. Humay hill us waqt rakhni thi jab jang ho rahi thi, ab jang khatam ho gayi hai, is liye yahan rukne ka koi faida nahi." Is tarah, apne commander ke inkar ke bawajood, zyada tar archers hill chhorh kar Quraysh ke camp ki taraf bhag gaye aur keh rahe the, "Loot! Loot!"

Abdullah ke paas sirf nau archers reh gaye. Hazrat Khalid ki aankhon ne yeh dekha aur wo intezaar karte rahe ke jab tak archers Quraysh camp tak pohanch jayenge, uske baad unhone hamla karne ka faisla kiya. Hazrat Khalid ne apni mounted attack shuru ki aur hill par jo kuch archers bache hue the, unko capture karne ka plan banaya. Ikrimah ko is safar mei Hazrat Khalid ne apna saathi banaya aur dono ne mil kar attack kiya.

Jo faithful archers hill par reh gaye the, unhone be-shiddat muqaabla kiya. Kuch shaheed ho gaye aur jo baqi bache, wo tamam zakhmon ke sath hill se giraye gaye. Abdullah bin Jubair ne, jo hill ka defence kar rahe the, apni jaan dekar is position ko qoumi aur neki ke liye sambhala.

Jab Hazrat Khalid aur Ikrimah ki cavalry ne hill par hamla kiya, to wo fatah haasil karte hue Muslims ke peechay wale line ke bilkul paas pohanch gaye. Hazrat Khalid aur Ikrimah ne phir apni cavalry ko left turn karaya aur wo Muslims ke peechay se hamla kar rahe the. Ikrimah ne Prophet ke paas waale Muslimon ko attack kiya, jabke Khalid aur Ikrimah ki cavalry ne Muslims ko Quraysh ke camp mein bhee attack kiya.

Jab Hazrat Khalid ne apni cavalry ko camp ke andar dakhil kar liya, to Muslims ne apni jang ka intezaar kiya aur kuch Muslim puri tarah dar kar bhaag gaye. Lekin bohot se Muslims ne apni jagah nahi chhorhi aur jang kiya. Prophet ke saath rahe wale Muslims ne haar nahi mani.

Jab Muslims ne peechay se hamla shuru kiya, Amra ne Quraysh ke standard ko uthaya aur apne sir ke upar is tarah lehraya ke Quraysh ke log dekhein. Abu Sufyan ne apni army ko control karte hue sabse pehle apni cavalry ko battle mei daala aur quraish ke army ko dobara jang ke liye ready kar liya.

Abu Sufyan ne jang mei shamil ho kar ek Muslim ko maar diya. Ab wo Muslims ke beech mei do taraf se hamla kar rahe the; pehle se wo cavalry attack kar rahe the, aur ab unke infantry ke bacha-kucha hissa bhi neechay se hamla kar raha tha. Yeh waqt Muslims ke liye kaafi mushkil ho gaya. Waise toh kuch Muslims, ek doosre se ladte hue, ab bhi jang ke liye tayyar ho gaye the, magar bohot si casualties ke bawajood wo apni jagah par tikay hue the.

1. Waqidi: Maghazi, pp. 178-179.; Ibn Sad: pp. 545, 551.
2. Waqidi: Maghazi, p. 188; Ibn Sad: p. 545. 

Ab jang do alag alag hisso mei baant gayi thi. Ek taraf Muslims ka main jism tha jo Quraysh ke main army ke samne apni mazahmat kar raha tha, aur doosri taraf wo group tha jo Holy Prophet ke saath tha, jo Ikrimah ki cavalry aur kuch Quraysh ke infantries ke hathon se lad raha tha jo unko dubara attack kar rahe the.

Ab Prophet ke liye ek azmaish shuru hui. ( map 2 dyan sy dekhein)

Jab Muslims apni positions se Quraysh ka peecha karte hue nikal gaye, to Holy Prophet apni jang ke maqam par ruk gaye. Yahaan unke saath 30 Companions the jo unse jude rahe aur loot ke intezaar ki bharkao se bach gaye. In mei se kuch sabse qareebi saathi the, jaise Hazrat Ali, Hazrat Abu Bakr, Sad bin Abi Waqqas, Talha bin Ubaidullah, Abu Ubaidah, Abdur-Rahman bin Auf, Abu Dujanah aur Mus'ab bin Umair. Is group mein do auratain bhi thi jo paani dene ke liye Muslims ke paas aayi thi aur ab Prophet ke saath thi.

Jab Hazrat Khalid ne archers ki position capture ki aur Quraysh ki cavalry ne Muslims ke peeche se attack karna shuru kiya, to Prophet ko ehsaas hua ke Muslims ek mushkil mei phans gaii hain. Wo apne group ke saath kuch nahi kar sakte the kyunki wo door the aur wo jaante the ke unka apna group bhi jald attack ke neeche aa jayega. Unka ab ka position bilkul naa-qabil-e-beari thi, is liye unhone apni jagah se zameen ke neeche ke hissa ki taraf chalne ka faisla kiya (yeh wahi jagah thi jo Muslims ke right wing ke neeche thi), aur wo apne 30 companions ke saath pichhe ki taraf chalne lage. Lekin wo abhi chhoti doori tak nahi chalay the ke Ikrimah apni cavalry ke saath unki raah rok kar aa gaya. Prophet ne faisla kiya ke woh jahan khade hain wahan hi ladte hain, aur itna waqt nahi guzra tha ke ek Quraysh infantry ka group bhi unke paas aaya.

Prophet ka group aise muqaddar se gher gaya tha ke wo front aur rear se attack ho rahe the. Muslims ne Prophet ki hifazat ke liye unka gherao kiya aur jang ki intensity badh gayi. Prophet ne apna bow use kiya aur use tab tak istemal karte rahe jab tak wo toot nahi gaya. Uske baad unhone apne arrows ko istemal kiya jo Sad ke arrows ko badhane mein madadgar the. Har Muslim ne apne samne ke teen ya chaar dushmanon se takraane ki koshish ki aur ya toh wo khud gir gaya ya dushman ko peechhe dhakel diya.

Sab se pehle Quraysh ka jo bandah Prophet ke maqam tak pohnchta hai wo Ikrimah tha. Jab Ikrimah apne group ko aage le kar gaya to Prophet ne Hazrat Ali se kaha, "Un logon ko attack karo." Hazrat Ali ne unko wapas dhakel diya aur unmein se ek ko maar daala. Ab ek aur cavalry ka group aa gaya tha. Prophet ne dubara Hazrat Ali se kaha, "Un logon ko attack karo." Hazrat Ali ne unko bhi peechhe dhakela aur ek aur kafir ko maar diya.

Jaise-jaise jang tez hoti gayi, Quraysh ne Prophet ke group par teer aur pathar giraana shuru kar diye. Wo ye missiles door se bhejte the aur phir talwar ke saath charge karte the, chahe ghode par hoon ya zameen par. Prophet ko teeron se bachane ke liye, Abu Dujanah unke samne khada ho gaya, apni peeth Quraysh ke infantry se, jahan se zyada teriyan aa rahi thi. Kuch waqt baad Abu Dujanah ki peeth patharon ki tarah teriyon se bhar gayi, lekin wo phir bhi Sad ko apne arrows deta raha. Talha bhi Prophet ke paas khada tha. Ek dafa jab ek teer Prophet ke chehre par lagne wala tha, to Hazrat Talha ne apna haath teer ke raste mei daal diya aur use rok diya. IsseHazrat Talha ki ek ungli kaat gayi, lekin unhone Prophet ki hifazat ki.

Muslims ke main jism ke khilaf, Hazrat Khalid apne squadron ke saath baar-baar attack kar raha tha aur zyada nuqsan pohancha raha tha. Is dauraan, Hazrat Khalid ne apna doosra shikar kiya – Sabt bin Dahdaha ko apni lance se maar daala. Is jang mei Hazrat Khalid zyada tar apni lance ka istemal kar rahay thay, jisse wo apne dushman ko ghaseet kar maar daltay thay. Har dafa jab wo kisi ko giraata, wo shor karta, "Le lo yeh! Aur main Sulaiman ka walid hoon!"

Phir, jab counter-attack ka pehla daura khatam hua, to Prophet ke maqam par kuch der ke liye rukawat aayi, jab Quraysh ne thodi der ke liye apne attack ko roka. Iss waqt, ek Muslim ne dekha ke Prophet apne peechhe dekh rahe hain. Usne is ka sabab pucha, aur Prophet ne aasan se jawab diya, "Main Ubayy bin Khalf ki intezaar kar raha hoon. Wo mujhe peechhe se aa sakte hain. Agar tum unhe aate dekho, to unhe mere paas aane do." Abhi unhone yeh kaha hi tha ke ek shakhs Ikrimah ke squadron se nikal kar apne bade ghode par, dheere dheere Prophet ki taraf aaya aur cheekh kar kaha, "O Muhammad! Main aa gaya hoon! Yeh ya tu hai ya main!"

Badr ki jang mein ek naujawan, Abdullah bin Ubayy, jo ke Abdullah bin Ubayy ke naam se mashhoor nahi tha (jo ke Munafiqoon ka leader tha), Muslimon ke haath mein asir ho gaya. Uske baad, uska baap, Ubayy bin Khalf, apne bete ko riha karwane ke liye 4,000 dirhams ka ranson diya. Jab ransom diya gaya aur Abdullah ko riha kar diya gaya, to Madinah mei rehkar, Ubayy ne Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ke liye be-izati ki baat ki. Usne kaha, "O Muhammad! Mere paas ek ghora hai jise mein bohot acchi tarah se khuraak de raha hoon, kyun ke agle jang mei mein us ghore par sawar ho kar tumhe maar dunga." Prophet (PBUH) ne jawab diya, "Nahi, tum mujhe nahi maar sakte. Lekin agar Allah ne chaha, toh mein tumhe us ghore par maar dunga." Ubayy ne gussa aur nafrat ke saath hans kar jawab diya aur apne bete ke saath wahan se chal diya.

Ab Ubayy bin Khalf apne ghore par Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ki taraf barh raha tha. Usne dekha ke Companions unke raste se hatt gaii hain aur Prophet (PBUH) unka intezaar kar rahe hain. Ubayy ne dil hi dil mei us shakhs ki taareef ki jo usse maarna chahta tha. Prophet (PBUH) do coat of mail pehne hue the, unke sir par chain helmet thi jo unke gaal tak aayi hui thi. Unka talwar apne saya mein, kaar se bandhi hui thi, aur unke haath mein ek speer tha. Ubayy ne Muhammad (PBUH) ke taqatwar jism ko dekha, unke badan ke chore pan aur mazboot haath jo speer ko todne ke liye kaafi mazboot the. Prophet (PBUH) ka rang bhi ba-hadd tasveer tha.

Aaj ke din mei, bahut kam log jaante hain ke Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) apne waqt ke sabse mazboot Muslim the. Unki apni aise taqat aur Allah ki taqdeer ka intekhab, unhein har kisay ke liye ek bohot bada aur khatarnaak muqabla banata tha. Lekin Ubayy ko koi dar nahi tha. Usne abhi ek Muslim ko maar diya tha aur uski himmat bohot zyada thi.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) apne Companions ko yeh keh kar rukne ka hukm de sakte the, "Ubayy ko maar do!" Unke Companions phir us par chadhayi karte aur usse chhant-te. Ya phir Prophet (PBUH) Hazrat Ali se bhi seedha hukm de sakte the, "Isko maar do!" aur Hazrat Ali usko jaldi maar dalte, kyun ke jab Hazrat Ali kisi ka qatal karte, toh wo uss shakhs ki jaan ki baat nahi karte the. Lekin Prophet (PBUH) ne Companions se kahaa ke wo ruk jayein. Is dafa wo apne izzat ke liye khud larna chahte the, ek Arab ke jazbaat ke mutabiq. Muhammad (PBUH) sirf apni jang khud ladne wale the.

Jab Ubayy Prophet ke paas pohncha, toh usne apne ghore ko roka. Wo dheere dheere apna talwar nikaal raha tha, yeh samajh kar ke Muhammad (PBUH) uske hamle ka intezaar karenge. Lekin achanak, wo waqt guzar gaya aur Prophet (PBUH) ne apni speer uthayi aur Ubayy ke chhati ke upper hissa par maar daali. Ubayy ne apne aap ko jhukane ki koshish ki, lekin wo tez nahi tha. Speer uske daahine kandhe par lag gayi, jo ke gardan ke paas thi. Yeh ek chhota sa zakhm tha, lekin Ubayy apne ghore se gir gaya aur is girne ki wajah se uska ek patha toot gaya. Prophet (PBUH) phir se us par maar kar usse maar nahi sakte the, lekin Ubayy uth kar apne saathiyon ki taraf daud kar gaya, aur daudte hue chilla kar bola, "Allah ki kasam, Muhammad ne mujhe maar daala."

Quraish ne uske zakhm ka jaiza liya aur kaha ke yeh koi farq nahi padta, yeh ek chhota zakhm hai jo jaldi theek ho jayega. Lekin Ubayy ka awaaz dheere dheere tez hota gaya aur usne kaha, "Main mar jaaunga!" Jab Quraish ne aur zyada tasalli dene ki koshish ki, to Ubayy apne aap ko bilkul control nahi kar saka aur chilla kar bola, "Main tumse keh raha hoon ke main mar jaaunga! Muhammad ne kaha tha ke wo mujhe maarenge. Agar Muhammad mujhe thook bhi daalein, toh bhi mein mar jaaunga!" Ubayy bilkul ghabra gaya aur ro raha tha.

Jab Quraish Makkah wapis pohnche, Ubayy unke saath gaya. Jab wo Saraf, Makkah ke qareeb rukay hue the, wahan uss bechare ne apni jaan kho di. Uski maut ka sabab yeh zakhm nahi tha, aur Allah behtar jaane.

Ibn Sad: p. 549; Ibn Hisham: Vol. 2, p. 84.

Jang ki halaat dheere dheere aur zyada mushkil hotay gaye jab Musalman apni jagah par jamay rahy aur apni himmat nahi haar rahe thay. Abu Sufyan aur Hazrat Khalid dono ko jaldi faisla chahiye tha, kyunki jang kaafi der tak chal chuki thi. Quraish ne faisla kiya ke wo zyada dabbav dalain aur agar mumkin ho toh Prophet ko maar den, kyunki unki maut ke baad unki jangalti ho sakti thi.

Ek mazboot Quraish ki infantry group ne Prophet ki taraf barhna shuru kiya. Musalman apne dafa karte rahe aur kai unmein se shaheed ho gaye. Teen Quraish ke jawaan, Utbah bin Abi Waqqas, Abdullah bin Shahab, aur Ibn Qamiah, ne is dauran chattan ki doori tak pohanch kar Prophet par pathar maarna shuru kiye.

Pehla, Utbah (jo Sad ka bhai tha) ne Prophet ke chehre par char pathar mare, jismein se do pathar unke neeche ke daant tod gaye aur unki neeche ki honth bhi kaat gayi. Abdullah ne ek pathar maara jo Prophet ke maathay ko chhed gaya, jabke Ibn Qamiah ne ek pathar maara jisne Prophet ki gaala kaat diya aur unke chain helmet ke do links bhi unke gaale ke haddi mei ghus gaye.

Prophet zakhmon ke baad zameen par gir gaye aur Talha ne unhe uthaya. Is waqt, kuch Musalmanon ne mushkil se Quraish ko dhakel diya aur unko pichay kar diya. Sad ne apna dhanush chhorha, talwar nikali aur apne bhai ki taraf dauda, lekin Utbah usse tez dauda aur Quraish ke rank mei chhup gaya. Sad baad mei yeh kaha ke usne kabhi apne bhai ko maarne ki itni zyada chaahat nahi mehsoos ki thi, jitni apne bhai Utbah ko maarne ki mehsoos ki thi.

Phir kuch der ke liye sukoon aaya, aur Prophet ne apne chehre ka khoon saaf kiya. Is waqt Prophet ne kaha, "Kaise log tarakki kar sakte hain jo apne Nabi ke chehre ko khoon se rang dete hain, jabke wo unhe apne Rab ki taraf bula raha ho!" Abu Ubaidah, jo kuch had tak surgeon bhi the, ne Prophet ke gaale mein ghusa hua chain ke do links nikaalne ki koshish ki. Aakhri mei unhe apne daanton se unhe nikaalna pada, aur is dauran unke do daant bhi nikal gaye. Unhein baad mei "Al Asram" ke naam se jaana gaya, jo unki incisors na hone ki wajah se tha.

Is waqt ek siyah rang ki aurat Umm Eiman, jo bachpan mei Prophet ki parvarish kar chuki thi, unke paas khadi thi. Quraish ke ranks se Haban bin Al Arqa naam ka ek aadmi dheere dheere bow-range tak aaya, aur apne dhanush se ek teer chhorha jo Umm Eiman ke peeth par laga. Haban ne is par khub hasna shuru kiya aur Quraish ki taraf laut gaya. Prophet ne dekha jo kuch ho raha tha aur wo buhat ghusse mei aa gaii. Unhone ek teer Sad ko diya aur kaha, "Us aadmi ko maar." Sad ne Prophet ka teer apne dhanush mein lagaya aur dhyaan se nishana laga kar us aadmi ko gardan mein maara. Is par Prophet ne muskaraate hue kaha!

Quraish ne ab apni aakhri hamlaavari shuru ki aur har taraf se Prophet par dabbav dalna shuru kiya. Musalmanon ne apni puri koshish ki ke wo Prophet ki hifazat kar sakein, lekin ek jagah, Ibn Qamiah ne wapis break kiya aur Prophet ki taraf dauda. Ibn Qamiah wahi aadmi tha jo pehle Prophet par pathar maar chuka tha. Prophet ke paas, aur thoda daayein taraf, Mus'ab bin Umair aur Umm Ammarah khadi thi. Umm Ammarah ne paani dene ka kaam chhorha aur talwar aur dhanush uthaya, aur jang mei shamil ho gayi thi. Usne ek ghode ko gira diya aur ek kafir ko bhi zakhmi kiya.

Ibn Qamiah ne Mus'ab ko Prophet samajh kar us par hamla kar diya. Mus'ab ne apni talwar nikali aur dono ke beech jang shuru ho gayi. Thodi der baad, Ibn Qamiah ne Mus'ab bin Umair ko maar diya. Mus'ab ke girte hi Umm Ammarah ne Ibn Qamiah par hamla kar diya aur uske kandhe par apni talwar maari. Ibn Qamiah ne mail ka coat pehna hua tha, is liye wo zakhm nahi laga. Badla mei Ibn Qamiah ne Umm Ammarah ko uske kandhe par talwar se maara, lekin wo maar bohot tezi se nahi thi, is liye wo khatarnak nahi thi, bas ek gehri chaak lag gayi, jiske baad Umm Ammarah kuch der ke liye hil nahi paayi.

1. Ibn Hisham: Vol. 2, p. 80: Waqidi: Maghazi p. 191.
2. Waqidi: Maghazi, p. 189. 

Jaise hi Umm Ammarah gir gayi, kafir ne dekha ke Prophet akelay khade hain aur uski taraf dauda. Usne apni talwar uthai aur Prophet ke sar par ek bhari vaar kiya. Talwar ne Prophet ke chain helmet ke kuch links ko kaat diya, lekin helmet mein ghus nahi paya. Helmet se deflect ho kar talwar ne Prophet ke daaye kandhe par maar diya. Is vaar ki taqat itni zyada thi, aur iske piche jo quwwat thi wo itni zyada thi, ke Prophet ek chhoti si ghaat mein gir gaii jo unke bilkul pichay thi. Yahan se unhein baad mei Hazrat Ali aur Talha ne uthaya.

Jab Ibn Qamiah ne Prophet ko girte dekha, wo waapis Quraish ki taraf dauda aur apni puri awaaz se chillaya, "Maine Muhammad ko maar diya! Maine Muhammad ko maar diya!" Ye awaaz jang ke maidan mein har jagah sunayi di, aur Quraish aur Musalman dono ne sun li. Is ne Musalmanon ki rooh ko tod diya, aur zyada tar Musalman Mount Uhud ki taraf bhag gaye. Lekin kuch Musalmanon ne faisla kiya ke agar Allah ka Rasool shaheed ho gaya hai toh unka jeena ka koi maqsad nahi hai. Unhone Quraish ke ghurmon ki taraf daud kar apni jaan di, lekin Hazrat Khalid aur Ikrimah ne unko jaldi se zakhmi kar diya. Yahan Hazrat Khalid ne apne teesre shikar, Rafa'a bin Waqsh, ko maar diya.

Jab zyada tar Musalman Mount Uhud ki taraf bhaag gaiii, toh Quraish ne apne mare huye logon ko lootna shuru kar diya, aur jo Musalman Prophet ki hifazat kar rahe the unko yeh dekh kar laga ke ab unke aas-paas koi Quraish nahi hai. Lootne ka lalach Quraish ke liye utna hi khatarnaak sabit hua jitna kuch der pehle Musalmanon ke liye hua tha. Jab Prophet ne dekha ke raasta saf hai, toh wo apne group ke saath wapas defile ki taraf chale gaii. Is dauran kuch Quraish ne Prophet ka peechha kiya, lekin unhe rok diya gaya aur kuch ko Musalmanon ne maar daala. Hazrat Khalid ne Prophet ke group ke movement ko dekha, lekin usne uska peecha nahi kiya, kyunki wo Muslim infantry ke mai jandar ko dhundhne mei masroof tha. Is liye Prophet ko defile tak pohanchne mei koi mushkil nahi hui, aur wo defile ke paas, ek pahaari jhank ke upar, 400 feet unchai par ruk gaiii. Yahan Prophet ne ek chattan mei chhup kar apni nazar se wo purani tabahi dekhi jo samne phela hua thi.

Us group mein jo Prophet ke saath jang kar rahe the, sirf 14 log bache the aur inmein se zyada tar zakhmi the. 16 log shaheed ho gaye the, Prophet ki hifazat mein aur Allah ke raaste mei.

Is tarah, Musalman jang ke maidan se apni position badal kar pahaadon ki taraf chale gaiii. Kuch ne ghazab mei bhaag kar door tak safar kiya; kuch Madinah laut gaii; kuch aise the jo do din baad Prophet ke paas wapis aaye. Lekin jo log pahadon mein chhupne ki soch rahe the, unhone chhote groups mei baant kar Quraish ke ghurmon se ladte hue Mount Uhud ke neeche tak pohnchne ki koshish ki. Yahan wo chhup gaiii, kuch ne pahadon ke naazuk hisso mein asra liya, kuch ridge par chadh gaiii, aur kuch re-entrants mei chhup gaii. 

Koi bhi nahi jaanta tha ke agla qadam kya hoga. Quraish jang ke maidan par mukammal qaboo rakh rahe the.

Jab Prophet (PBUH) defile (guzar gaah) tak pohnchay, to unke paas apne zakhmon ka ilaaj karne ka waqt tha. Yahan unki beti, Hazrat Fatimah, unke saath aayi. Hazrat Ali ne ek shield mein paani bhar kar qareebi talab se laaye aur Fatimah ne apne walid ke chehre se khoon saaf karte hue unke zakhmon ka ilaaj kiya. Is mushkil rasta mei, jahan Quraish apne poore dahanay se hamla nahi kar sakte thay, Prophet (PBUH) ne apni thakawat ko kuch waqt ke liye door kiya.

Musalmanon mei se jo log Mount Uhud par chhup gaye thay, unmein se kuch bekaar ghoom rahe thay, unhe ye nahi pata tha ke kaha jana hai ya kya karna hai. Inhi mei se ek shaks, Kab bin Malik, jo defile ki taraf ja raha tha, ne Prophet (PBUH) ko dekha aur unhein pehchana. Is aadmi ki awaaz kaafi buland thi. Usne ek bade patthar par chadh kar, aur un jagahon ki taraf ishara karte hue jahan zyada Musalman chhupay hue thay, kaha, "Khush ho jao, o Musalmanon! Allah ke Rasool yahan hain!" Jab usne yeh kaha, to kaafi Musalmanon ne, jo pahadon par chhupay hue thay, is awaaz ko sun kar apne raste badle aur Prophet (PBUH) ke paas aa gaye. In mei Hazrat Umar bhi shaamil the, jo Prophet (PBUH) ko dobara dekh kar be-had khush ho gaiii.

Is dauran, Abu Sufyan Prophet (PBUH) ka jisam dhoondh raha tha. Wo jang ke maidan mei ghoom raha tha aur har marey hue shaks ke chehre ko dekh raha tha, yeh umeed karte hue ke usse apne dushman ka chehra mil jayega. Kabhi-kabhi wo apne logon se poochta, "Muhammad kahan hai?" Jab wo is tarah ghoom raha tha, to usne Hazrat Khalid se yeh sawal kiya. Hazrat Khalid ne usse bataya ke usne Prophet (PBUH) ko, jo apne Saahibaan ke saath defile ki taraf ja rahe thay, dekha tha. Hazrat Khalid ne Abu Sufyan ko woh pathar ka daba dikhaya, aur Abu Sufyan ne usse kaha ke apne ghurmon ke saath is jagah par hamla kare.

1. Ibn Hisham: Vol. 2, p. 78.
2. Tabari: Vol. 2, p. 200; Waqidi: Maghazi, p. 185

 
Hazrat Khalid ne un pattharon se bhari hui wadi ko dekha jo spur (chhoti pahaadi) ki taraf jaati thi, aur phir spur ki khud bhi ek steep slope ko dekha. Usse is manoeuvre par shak tha, kyun ke wo jaanta tha ke is tarah ke ilaqe mei uski cavalry ko kaafi nuqsan ho sakta hai. Lekin usne umeed rakhi ke shayad koi moka mile jaise ke jang ke shuruati waqt Quraish ke liye hua tha. Hazrat  Khalid ek pur-umeed shakhs tha. Usne apni squadron ko spur ki taraf chalana shuru kiya.

Prophet (PBUH) ne yeh harkat dekhi aur dua ki, "O Allah, un logon ko yahan tak na pohonchne dena." Uske baad Hazrat Umar ne kuch Musalmanon ka ek group banaya aur unhein thoda neeche ki taraf bheja takay wo Quraish ki cavalry ka samna kar sakein. Jab Hazrat Khalid apni squadron ke saath pohncha, to usne dekha ke Umar aur doosre Musalman unke samne unchaai par khade hain. Hazrat Khalid ne mehsoos kiya ke is dafa jo jang ka maidan hai wo hopeless hai, na sirf uska dushman behtar jagah par hai, balkay uski apni cavalry ko is mushkil ilaqe mei chalne mei mushkil ho gi. Is liye, wo mundi jhukate hue wahan se pichay hataa gaya. Aur yeh Uhud ki jang ka aakhri tactical manouevre tha.

Abu Sufyan aur Hazrat Khalid, aur kai doosre logon ne ab ek aisi manzar dekha jo unhe kabhi nahi bhoolne wala tha aur jo unhe pasand nahi aaya. Jang ke maidan mei jahan Musalman shaheed ho gaii the, Hind aur Quraish ki auratein aa gayi thi. Hind ne Hazrat Hamza ka laash dekha aur chaku uthakar us par toot padi.

Hind ek bhari-jism aurat thi aur usse laash ko nasheeb se tord kar nikalne mei koi mushkil nahi hui. Usne Hazrat Hamza ka peth kaata aur unka jigar bahar nikala. Unka ek tukda kaat kar apne mooh mein daala aur nigal liya! Phir usne Hazrat Hamza ka naak aur kaan kaat liye, aur doosri auraton ko bhi yeh karne ko kaha, jo kay kai doosre shaheedon ke laash par kar diya.

Phir woh shaks Hind ke paas aaya. Hind ne apni saari zewar utar kar usse de diye, "Aur jab hum Makkah pahunchenge," usne kaha, "main tumhein 10 dinar doon gi." Apne zewar ko nikaalne ke baad usne shaheedo ke kaan aur naak se ek mala aur baajuband banaye aur unhe pehene liya!

Yeh karne ke baad, yeh Be-haya aurat ne yeh geet gaya:

Humne Badr ke din ka badla le liya hai,
Ek khooni din ke baad dosra.

Main Utbah ke nuqsan ko bardasht nahi kar sakti thi,
Ya apne chacha, bhai, aur beta ka.

Ab mera dil thanda ho gaya, mera qasam poora ho gaya,
Aur shikari ne mere dil ke dard ko door kar diya.

Shikari ka shukriya main zindagi bhar ada karungi,
Jab tak meri haddi-haddi kabron mein na kho jaye.( or mein is line py kahungi k beshak tumhri haddi haddi ka reza hoga) (AMEEN)

Is khofnaak aur khuni daur ke baad, Abu Sufyan wadi mei aage badhay. Wo ab bhi yeh umeed kar rahay thay ke Hazrat Muhammad shaayad maar chuke hain, aur Hazrat Khalid ne galat fehmi mei kaam kiya ho. Wo ek bade pathar par chadh gaiii jo Prophet (PBUH) ki jagah se kafi door tha aur shor machaya, "Kya Muhammad tumhare beech hain?" Prophet (PBUH) ne apne Saahibaan ko khamoshi mei rehne ka ishaara kiya. Abu Sufyan ne do aur martaba yeh sawaal kiya, lekin koi jawab nahi aaya.

Phir teen martaba Abu Sufyan ne sawaal kiya, "Kya Abu Bakr tumhare beech hain?" Aur teen martaba usne poocha, "Kya Umar tumhare beech hain?" Lekin wahan kisi bhi jawab ki awaaz nahi aayi.

Abu Sufyan ne ab apni taraf se Quraish ko dekha, jo uske paas khade thay, aur kaha, "Yeh teen log maar chuke hain. Ab yeh tumhare liye pareshani ka sabab nahi banenge." Is par Hazrat Umar apne aap ko rok nahi paaye aur Abu Sufyan ko jawab diya, "Tum jhoot bol rahe ho, Allah ke dushman! Jinke baare mei tumne kaha ke wo mar chuke hain, wo zinda hain, aur hum mei abhi kaafi log hain jo tumhein sakht saza de sakte hain."

Abu Sufyan ka jawab tha, zor se hansi. Usse pata tha ke is waqt Musalmanon ki halat aisi nahi hai ke wo kisiko saza de sakein. Lekin phir usne Umar se kaha, "Allah tumhein apni hifazat mei rakhe, O Ibn Al Khattab! Kya Muhammad haqiqatan zinda hain?"

1. Ibn Hisham: Vol. 2, p. 86.

2. Waqidi: Maghazi, p. 222.

3. Ibn Hisham: Vol. 2, p. 91.

"Qasam Allah ki, haan. Aur abhi bhi wo jo aap kehte hain sun rahay hai," Hazrat Umar ne jawab diye.

"Tum Ibn Qamiah se zyada sachay ho," Abu Sufyan ne kaha.

Phir Abu Sufyan aur Prophet (PBUH) ke darmiyan aakhri guftagu hui. Prophet (PBUH) ne apne dushman se seedha baat nahi ki, balkay jo kuch kehna tha, wo Hazrat Umar ko keh kar, Hazrat Umar phir jawab Abu Sufyan ko sunatay thay.

Abu Sufyan: "Hubal ki tareef ho! Uzza ki tareef ho!"

Prophet (PBUH): "Allah ki tareef ho, wo sab se ooncha aur azmat wala hai!"

Abu Sufyan: "Humare paas Uzza aur Hubal hain. Tumhare paas na Uzza hai aur na Hubal."

Prophet (PBUH): "Humare paas Allah hai, jo hamara Rabb hai. Tumhare paas koi Rabb nahi."

Abu Sufyan: "Kaam ho gaya. Yeh hamara din tha, aapka Badr ka din. Jang ka taqdeer hamesha nahi ek jaisa hota. Hum agle saal Badr mei phir milenge."

Prophet (PBUH): "Badr mei hum phir milenge. Tumhare paas humara wada hai."

Abu Sufyan: "Tumhare shaheedo mei se kuch ko kuch chotain mili hain. Maine na is ka hukm diya aur na hi isay approve kiya. Iska mujhe zimmedar mat thehrana."

Abu Sufyan ne yeh aakhri baat keh kar apni fauj ki taraf mud kar chal diya. Quraish ne jang ka maidan chhorh diya aur apne purane camp mei wapas gaye jo unka kal ka camp tha. Jab wo ja rahe thay, Prophet (PBUH) ne Hazrat Ali ko scout bana kar bheja takay wo dekh kar aaye ke Quraish apne ghode ya oont kis tarah se tayar kar rahe hain. Hazrat Ali ne apni reconnaissance ki aur Prophet (PBUH) ko bata diya ke Quraish apne oont par sawar ho rahe hain aur apne ghode le ja rahe hain. Prophet (PBUH) ne kaha, "Iska matlab hai ke wo Makkah waapas ja rahe hain aur Madinah par hamla nahi karenge. Agar wo Madinah par hamla karna chahte, to apne ghodon par sawar hote. Agar aisa hota, to qasam Allah ki, main abhi unke saath jang karne jaata."

Quraish ne apni raat Hamrat-ul-Asad mei guzaari, jo Madinah se 10 miles door thi. Musalman Madinah waapas aaye, siwaye kuch logon ke jo agle din aur uske baad wapas aaye.

Agli subah Prophet (PBUH) ne uthkar apne zireh pehna. Unka chehra jang ke nishan se dikh raha tha. Unka gaala, maathey aur hont jo kaafi kaat chuke thay ab bhi soojhe hue thay. Unke do daant gir gaii the, jo unhe dard de rahe thay, aur unke daaye kandhe mei bhi kaafi dard tha jahan Ibn Qamiah ka talwar kaat gaya tha. Yeh kandha unhe ek mahine tak pareshan karta raha.

Prophet (PBUH) ne Hazrat Bilal, apne Muazzin ko bulaaya aur unhey kaha ke wo Musalmanon ko jang ke liye bulaaye. Sirf unhi ko jang mei shamil hone ki ijaazat di jaayegi jo kal ke jang mei shamil thay. Hazrat Bilal ki tez awaaz Madinah ki galiyon mei goonj gayi aur har Momin ke ghar tak yeh paigham pohonch gaya.

Musalman apni chaadar se uth kar jang ke liye tayar ho rahe thay. Unmein se zyada tar zakhmi the, kuch zyada zakhmi thay aur kuch kam. Unhone raat bhar takleef aur dard mei guzaari thi. Puri raat auratein musalman faujiyein dhang se ilaaj kar rahi thi, unke zakhmon ko dho kar saaf kar rahi thi. Zyada Musalman jang ke liye itne fit nahi thay, lekin wo apni chaadar se uth kar aane lage. Na koi cheekh thi na koi shikayat. Kuch ladh rahe the, kuch ne apne liye jhunjhha bana liya tha, aur kuch apne saathiyon ka sahara le kar chal rahe the. Wo aise ladhte, kadam kadam par apne jakhmon ki takleef se jhujhte hue Prophet (PBUH) ke paas ja rahe the. Unhone Prophet ko dekha aur kaha, "Labbaik! - Aapka hukm, Hazrat!" Aur yeh thake hue, zakhmi Musalman, ek thake hue Prophet (PBUH) ki qiyadat mei, kafir ke saath jang karne nikal pade. Unki tadaad 500 ke aas paas thi.

Jab Musalman jang ke liye jama ho rahe thay, Quraish ke camp mei ek jhagra ho raha tha. Ikrimah, jo kal ki tarah aaj bhi puri taqat ke saath jang karne ke liye tayar tha, yeh ziddi tha ke phir se jang shuru karni chahiye, kyun ke Musalman jang se takleef mei hain aur yeh waqt unko poori tarah se maar daalne ka hai, usse pehle ke wo apni shikast se bahal ho jayein.

"Bas bohot ho gaya," Safwan bin Umayyah ne jawab diya. "Hum ne jang jeet li hai, aur yeh jeet humare liye kaafi hai. Agar Musalman takleef mei hain, to hum bhi puri tarah se fit nahi hain. Humare ghode aur humare kayi fauji zakhmi hain. Agar hum agle jang mei apni abhi ki taqat ke saath ladenge, to shaayad kal jo hum jeet paaye wo aaj humare liye mushkil ho."

Ab tak Quraish ke leaders ko yeh bhi pata chal gaya tha ke 300 Munafiqeen (Hypocrites) ne dhoka diya hai. Unko yeh dar tha ke agar yeh 300 log tauba kar ke Prophet (PBUH) ke paas waapas aa gaye to yeh Musalmanon ki taqat mei izafa karenge aur unhe naye faujiyon se majboot banaenge. Is dauran, Quraish ke faujiyein ne do Musalmanon ko pakad liya tha jo Prophet (PBUH) ne unke hawale kiye the, aur unko maar diya. Unki maujoodgi ne Safwan aur Abu Sufyan ke darr ko mazid taqweeat di ke Musalman jang mein shamil hone ke liye tayar hain. Abu Sufyan ne foran Makkah waapas chalne ka hukm diya, aur Quraish ki fauj ne wahan se safar shuru kar diya.

Dopahar ko Musalman Hamrat-ul-Asad pohnchay aur wahan unko koi bhi nahi mila. Unhone apni camp lagaayi. Hamrat-ul-Asad mei 4 raat guzar kar, wo Madinah waapas chale gaii.

Uhud ki campaign khatam hui. Kul 70 Musalman jang mei shaheed hue. Abu Sufyan ne ek ko maara. Safwan bi Umayyah, Hazrat Khalid aur Ikrimah ne har ek ne 3 Musalmanon ko maara. Quraish ki taraf se 22 kaafir marey, jinmein se 6 Hazrat Ali ne aur Hazrat 3 Hamza ne maaray. Yeh Musalmanon ki ek shikast thi, lekin yeh faisla kun nahi thi.

Yeh Islam ki tareekh ki doosri badi jang thi. Yeh pehli jang thi jisme Abu Sufyan ne Musalmanon ke khilaaf fauj chalayi, aur Khalid ke liye yeh pehli jang thi. Prophet (PBUH) ne yeh jang haari, aur iske liye zimmedari uss waqt ke archers par thi jo Prophet (PBUH) ke hukm ki nafrat kar rahe the. Asal mein, unhone apni jagah chhodi thi aur apne qabayli rivaayat ke mutabiq loot maar ki sochi thi.

Is jang ke doran Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed ki determination aur unki lagataar koshish ko dekhne ko mila. Musalman bohot dehr tak maidan mei jamay rahe, magar Hazrat Khalid ki lagataar dabbish (pressure) ne unhein tor diya. Hazrat Khalid ne teen Musalman sipahi shaheed kiye, jo unki shakhsi himmat aur jang ladne ki maharat ka saboot thay. Hazrat Khalid ke paas nojawani ka jazba aur buzurgi ka tahammul aur faislay ki salahiyat dono mojood thi. Ye baat unke mustaqbil ke azeem faujidari (military) karname ka wada karti thi.

Is jang ke doran pehli martaba ek behtareen faujidari chalaki (manoeuvre) dekhne ko mili. Aindah Musalman jangon mei is tarah ki chalaki aur hikmat-e-amli aur bhi ziada ahmiyat ikhtiyar kar legi. Is waqia mei jin logon ke naam liye gaye hain, woh agle do dasak (20 saalon) mei azeem fateh aur fatahmand ke taur par mashhoor honge, jaise:

• Khalid bin Waleed (Saifullah, Allah ki talwar)

• Amr bin Al Aas (Misr ke fatahmand)

• Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah (Islam ke mahan sipahsalar)

• Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (Faras ke fatahmand aur duaye Mustafvi hasil karne wale).

Ye sab Islami tareekh mein apna la-fani maqam banane wale thay.
