Battle of Uhud

The Quraysh returned with 3,000 fighters led by Abu Sufyan to avenge Badr. The Prophet positioned 700 Muslims at the foot of Mount Uhud with 50 archers on Aynayn hill, ordering them not to leave. The Muslims initially prevailed, but most archers abandoned their post to collect spoils. Khalid ibn al-Walid's cavalry attacked from behind, causing chaos. The Prophet was wounded in his face and a rumor spread that he was killed. Seventy Muslims were martyred, including Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib, whose body was mutilated by Hind bint Utbah.
