The Holy Prophet of Islam, Hadrat Muḥammad Mustafa 52 sa. When it became known to the Holy Prophet" that the. Confederates had won over the Jews to their side, he assigned two brigades of men, three hundred and two hundred strong respectively, to the Muslim quarters of the town to take measures for their defense against the Jews should they attempt an attack. . This reduced the forces at his disposal at the trench facing the. Confederate army to seven hundred and fifty men. Again, the disparity in numbers and in every other respect between the opposing forces was not only striking but pitiful. The plight of the. Muslims is described in the Holy Qur'ān: إِذْ جَاءُوكُمْ مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ وَمِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَ إِذْ زَاغَتِ الْاَبْصَارُ وَبَلَغَتِ الْقُلُوْبُ الْحَنَاجِرَ وَ تَظُنُّونَ بِاللَّهِ الظُّلُوْنَا 0 هُنَالِكَ ابْتُلِيَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَزُلْزِلُوا زِلْزَالَا شَدِيدًا 0 وَ إِذْ يَقُوْلُ الْمُنْفِقُوْنَ وَالَّذِيْنَ فِي قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ مَّا وَعَدَنَا اللَّهُ وَ رَسُوْلُةٌ إِلَّا غُرُورًا ) وَ إِذْ قَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ يَأْهْلَ يَثْرِبَ لَا مُقَامَ لَكُمْ فَارْجِعُوْا وَ يَسْتَأْذِنُ فَرِيقٌ مِنْهُمُ النَّبِيِّ يَقُوْلُوْنَ إِنَّ بُيُوْتَنَا عَوْرَةً وَمَا هِيَ بِعَوْرَةٍ إِنْ يُرِيدُونَ إِلَّا فِرَارًا 0 ج idh ja'ūkummin fauqikum wa min asfala minkum wa idh zagatil abṣāru wa balagatil qulūbul ḥanājira wa taṇunnūna billahizzununa hunalikab tuliyal mu'minūna wa zulzilū zilzalan shadıda wa idh yaqūlul munāfiqūna walladhīna fi qulubihim maradumma wa‘adanallahu wa rasuluhū illa ghurūra wa idh qalatta'ifa tumminhum ya ahla yathriba Ta 155
