Re: Ghazwa-e-Ohad

^ You are welcome

Peace lethal kamikaze First of all allow me to commend you the way you are moderating over here – it is a very difficult and thankless task because I think, nay I’m quite sure that religious section generates most heat than any other section leaving Political section poor second, way behind.

Poster s here open threads for 2 reasons:

To gain knowledge or clear some doubts or misinformation they have.

To provoke others and get reaction from them.

A week ago a poster queried about list/names of Badri Sahabah (may Allah (swt) pleased with them all and reward them immensely): those who knew about the information provided it and with ‘Jazakallahs’ and ‘Thank yous’ the thread was done.

Brother Aqeel got inspired by the above thread and opened the thread not only inquiring about list but wanted know about impact of the war; names of companions who stayed with the Prophet (peace be upon him) and those who ran away.

Unlike the query about Battle of Badr – Battle of Uhud has Shia/Sunni undertones/ implication because some Companions of The Prophet (peace be upon him) ‘ran’ away when they were ambushed from the rear.

That’s why there was no simple Yes & No answer.

This thread falls into the second category.

Brother Aqeel was well aware what he was doing and heat that is going to generate.

I totally agree with the highlighted part… I knew people will be offended and some unrelated posts will be there but i chose to ignore them

I am 26 and i have heard about ohad often; mostly from shia fellows. A fact about this battle is that some sahaba escaped and were forgiven other fought bravely and didn’t leave Prophet s.a.w alone in battle field.

Before opening this thread I might have header about this battle 100 times in my life time but because of sunni/shia issues i dont remember hearing a single name beside umar bin khatab running away from ohad. On the other hand i cud only recall few names (Imam Ali a.s, hazrat Abu Dajjana r.a and Hazrat Hamza a.s who was Martyred) that stayed with Prophet s.a.w and fought. Out of 700 people i didnt know about 7 people who stayed or ran away so i asked for more.

On the other hand i had a argument with a sunni friend about Khalid bin Waleed. He claimed that Khalid bin waleed didnt lose any war in his life time. Even the one he fought against Muslims.

Now if i mentioned Khalid bin waleed, more people wud have came forward and said we lost the war indeed. However it wasn’t the case. I believe Muslims didnt let them succeed hence they lost. I wanted to know what others thought about the result of the war.

When i posted this thread i was originally here to ask about itekaaf and when i saw the thread related to Badr i thought of asking about ohad as well.
