It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: On the day of the Battle of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Jubair (may Allah be pleased with him) over the archers, and they were fifty men. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: “If you see that birds are snatching us away, do not leave your place until I send you a message. And if you see that we have defeated the people and are trampling them, still do not leave your place until I send you a message.” Then Allah defeated the disbelievers. I myself saw with my own eyes the women running on the mountain, their anklets and shins were exposed, and they were lifting their clothes and running. Seeing this, the companions of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Jubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “People! Booty! Booty! Your companions have prevailed, what are you waiting for now?” Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Jubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Have you forgotten what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said?” They said: “By Allah, we will surely go and obtain the booty.” So when they descended, they were turned back and fled in defeat. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was calling them from behind, and only twelve men remained with him. The disbelievers martyred seventy men from among us, while on the day of Badr, the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had harmed one hundred and forty of the disbelievers, capturing seventy and killing seventy. Abu Sufyan called out: “Is Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) among you?” three times. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the companions not to answer. Then he said: “Is Abu Bakr present?” three times. Then he said: “Is Umar bin Khattab present?” three times. When he received no answer, he returned to his companions and said: “All of them have been killed.” Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) could not control his emotions and called out: “You are lying, O enemy of Allah! Those whom you have named are all alive, and Allah has kept for you that which will grieve you.” Abu Sufyan said: “Today is in exchange for the day of Badr, and war alternates (between victory and defeat). You will find mutilation among your slain; I did not order it, but I do not regret it either.” Then he began to shout: “Exalt Hubal, exalt Hubal!” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Will you not answer him?” The companions said: “O Messenger of Allah! What should we say?” He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Say: Allah is the Highest and the Greatest.” Then Abu Sufyan said: “We have al-‘Uzza and you do not.” So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Will you not answer him?” The companions said: “O Messenger of Allah! What should we say?” He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Say: Allah is our Protector and you have no protector.”
