The attacks on Mad i nah came from the west and the north. People gathered together and were going to investigate the disturbance. They saw somebody sitting on the horse's bare back, with a sword hanging from the neck. The people were surprised on seeing this person who was brave enough to go alone in the darkness of the night. When he came near, it was the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa. As soon as he had heard the noise, he borrowed Ab u T al ha 's horse and rode to investigate it. He did not even waste a few minutes to saddle the horse and rode on its bare back. He came back and told the people that there was no danger. The noise could have been created by a passing caravan. He was calming people down and saying that there was no cause for fear. Then he said about Ab u T al ha 's horse that he found it extremely fast. 9 This incident reveals the courage of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa. After the Battle of Uhud, Ab u Sufy a n was returning to Makkah. His fellow Makkans met him on the way and enquired from him as to how many Muslim prisoners of war he had he taken and how much booty he had collected.
