When the danger of a night attack to Medina center by Banu Qurayzah rose, the Prophet (s) made two groups of the companions responsible for guarding Muslim's houses. Since Muslims' anxiety was more about Banu Qurayza attack to women and children rather than about Quraysh attacks to themselves, they recited [[Takbir]] until morning. Once at night, two groups of Muslims encountered each other, shooting one another unintentionally. Afterwards, they applied a secret slogan to avoid similar plausible incidents. The slogan was: Ha Mim, La yunsarun (means the enemy will not conquer). | When the danger of a night attack to Medina center by Banu Qurayzah rose, the Prophet (s) made two groups of the companions responsible for guarding Muslim's houses.

During the war, 'Amr | During the war, 'Amr b. 'Abd Wudd, a luminary prominent for his great valor, considered as equal as a thousand warriors in terms of being warlike and courageous, proceeded the narrow part of the trench along with some warriors. But they were impeded by [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] and some other Muslims. Having been injured in the [[Battle of Badr]], thus being deprived of participating in the [[Battle of Uhud]], 'Amr was fresh enough to throw down the challenge and call for an opponent. Even though Imam 'Ali (a) volunteered to fight with him, the [[Prophet (s)]] did not allow him, hoping that someone else would stand against him. No one became volunteer owing to their fear. As this condition lasted for quite a long time, 'Amr announced proudly that he got a sore throat because of calling constantly for a rival. Ultimately, Imam 'Ali (a) got ready to begin the combat with Prophet's permission. The Prophet (s) put his imama (turban) on 'Ali's head, gave his sword to him and sent him to the battle. Imam 'Ali (a) proceeded and told 'Amr either to become Muslim or to call off the combat. 'Amr refused both suggestions, therefore a very difficult battle took place. Imam 'Ali (a) warded Amr's stroke off by his shield, then took his life by a strong stroke, resulting in all his companion's escape. Imam 'Ali (a) recited Takbir right after his victory over 'Amr, then killed Nufayl b. 'Abd Allah, who was running away and was trapped while passing the trench. | ||
