CHAPTER 24 The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa 's Amiability in Wars 596 Prophet Muhammad sa was that he divided the army into five sections. He spread out those five sections, front, the right wing, the left wing, centre and the rear in such a way that it looked like a huge army. This strategy was employed to surprise and stun the enemy by the sudden appearance of the Muslim army. The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa was greatly successful in surprising the enemy.
