Surah Ali 'Imran Ayat 121

Orang-orang munafik telah menghasut kaum Muslimin agar jangan ikut berperang. Dalam perjalanan ke medan pertempuran mereka berhasil membawa kembali ke Medinah sepertiga dari tentara yang dipersiapkan untuk menghadapi kaum musyrikin. Berkat pertolongan Allah, ketabahan hati dan kesabaran menghadapi segala percobaan dan taat serta patuh menjalankan perintah Rasulullah saw yang telah membagi pasukan muslim menjadi beberapa bagian dan menempatkan mereka pada posisi-posisi yang strategis di medan perang. Sebagai buah ketaatan itu kaum Muslimin dapat terhindar dari kehancuran.

And mention O Muhammad (s) when you went forth at dawn from your family at Medina to assign the believers to have them occupy their places stations for them to stand at for battle and God hears what you say knows your circumstances this was the day of the battle of Uhud. The Prophet s set out with 1000 or 950 men while the idolaters numbered 3000. The Prophet pitched camp at the ravine on Saturday 7th of Shawwāl in year 3 of the Hijra. He had his back and that of his troops to Uhud. He arranged their lines and placed a group of archers under the command of ‘Abd Allāh b. Jubayr at the foot of the mountain and said to them ‘Defend us with your arrows in case they come up from behind us and remain here whether we are being defeated or on the verge of victory’.
