'''The Battle of Khandaq''' or '''The Battle of | '''The Battle of Khandaq''' or '''The Battle of Aḥzāb''' (غزوة الخندق ـ غزوة الأحزاب) (Ghazwah: a war at which [[the prophet]] of Islam was present) took place in the fifth year of [[Hijra]]. It initially broke out by the stratagem of [[Banu Nadir]] tribe. [[Quraysh]] tribe became united with all its allies including Kafir (unbeliever) and Arab tribes in order to eradicate Islam. The number of their soldiers was 10,000, yet Muslim army was only 3000 soldiers. Banu Qurayzah tribe had promised to be impartial in case of war; nevertheless, they violated the contract and became confederate with the unbelievers. To take up arms against the unbelievers, Muslims dug trench around Medina, an idea from Salman Farsi. The war terminated by Muslim's victory and the unbeliever army had to withdraw. | ||
During the battle, Amr ibn Abduwad, eminent for his great valor and bravery, proceeded the trench along with some other warriors, and threw down the challenge that who would dare to fight with him. Muslims remained silently, while they were overwhelmed with panic. Ultimately, Imam 'Ali (a) volunteered and went for the challenge with prophet's consent. He succeeded to take Amr's life. This had such a huge positive impact on Muslim's spirit that led to them triumphing over the enemy. " 'Ali's stroke was superior to any gene's or human's (thaqalayn) worship", said Prophet Muhammad (s). | During the battle, Amr ibn Abduwad, eminent for his great valor and bravery, proceeded the trench along with some other warriors, and threw down the challenge that who would dare to fight with him.
