Commentary:


This hadith alludes to the following blessed verse of the Noble Qur’an:
﴿الَّذينَ استَجابوا لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسولِ مِن بَعدِ ما أَصابَهُمُ القَرحُ لِلَّذينَ أَحسَنوا مِنهُم وَاتَّقَوا أَجرٌعَظيمٌ﴾ (Aal Imran: 172)
“Those who responded to Allah and the Messenger after injury had befallen them—for those among them who did good and were mindful (of Allah), there is a great reward.”


This verse refers to the circumstances following the Battle of Uhud.
When the polytheists retreated, on the way they thought that they had missed the opportunity to annihilate the Muslims, so they decided to turn back and attack again. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) also sensed this danger, that the Meccan army might attempt another attack, so he announced that all the warriors who had participated in the Battle of Uhud should march out again.
He pursued them as far as Hamra’ al-Asad, eight miles away. When the polytheists heard of this, they were intimidated and returned without attacking Madinah. (See: Al-Raheeq Al-Makhtum, p. 386)


‘Urwah ibn Zubayr (rahimahullah) was the nephew of ‘A’ishah (radi Allahu anha).
His mother was Asma’ bint Abi Bakr (radi Allahu anha).
Thus, Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) was his maternal grandfather, and Zubayr ibn al-‘Awwam (radi Allahu anhu) was his father.
