The trench was dug at the narrowest part between the two pointed rocky areas of the east and west. Hence, they had to close the north part by the trench.Īt the same time, the hypocrites started shaking the confidence of Muslims, "You are digging a trench because you are afraid of them". As the east, west, and south sides of Madinah were naturally surrounded by pointed, rocky land, which no one can even walk on. Salman's (R.A.) idea was a good one because it conformed to the nature of Madinah. Salman Al-Farsi (R.A.), a man from Persia, suggested digging a trench, a plan that was applied in his country. Companions (R.A.) knew that they had to plan, work, and exert effort within this doctrine. He (S.A.W.) explained the whole situation in details. Prophet (S.A.W.) summoned Muslims to discuss the matter with them and consult them. Suggestion of digging Trench by Salman Al-Farsi (R.A.): Thanks to the intelligence service powered by Talha Ibn Obaid (R.A.) and Said Ibn Zaid (R.A.), the news reached Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) that the army would arrive to Madinah within 15 days. Prophet (S.A.W.) is Informed about Enemy’s Intentions: Remember that the biggest army that faced by Muslims before was just 3,000 soldiers. They decided to head to Madinah to abolish Muslims and Islam. Their leader was Abu-Sufyan and the army consisted of 10,000 soldiers from different Arab tribes such as Quraish, Ghatfan, Ashja, Bani Sulaim and other Arab tribes. Can you how this man exerted all his efforts to support case that he knew to be false? Look into our state and see how much effort we exert to support truth and righteousness! He held the same deal with them before moving to Ashja tribe and other Arab tribes. Hoyai then left to Ghatfan tribe that was the second power in the peninsula after Quraysh. Quraish leaders and Hoyai pledged collaboration and alliance in the Kaaba until they would kill Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.). When Bani An-Nadir left Madinah they went to Khaibar and from there, Hoyai went to Quraish to meet Abu-Sufyan to collaborate with him in fighting the Prophet (S.A.W.). That was the idea of Hoyai Ibn Al-Akhatb the head of Bani An-Nadir, the Jewish tribe that broke its oath with the Prophet (S.A.W.) and was consequently driven out of Madinah. Quraish and the Jews realized that getting rid of Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.) and his companions (R.A.) was impossible unless they all collaborate together in Ahzab (parties) in order to fulfill their aim.
The fifth year of Hijrah (Muslims emigration from Makkah to Madinah) was a foundation in the life of Muslims.
