The Battle of Uhud was a major military clash fought in 625 CE near Medina, Saudi Arabia, between the early Muslim community led by Prophet Muhammad and the Quraysh tribe of Mecca led by Abu Sufyan. Driven by a desire for revenge after their defeat at the Battle of Badr and the need to protect their trade routes to Syria, the Meccans marched with an army of about 3,000 soldiers against a smaller Muslim force of approximately 1,000 men. At the start of the engagement, Prophet Muhammad strategically positioned fifty archers on Mount Aynayn to guard the rear flank, explicitly ordering them to hold their ground no matter the outcome of the battle.
