Overview
Before Uhud Quraysh sold a thousand camels to raise fifty thousand dinars, with which to finance their war against the Muslims. The author of "al-Rahiq al-Makhtum" includes the report in the preparation for Uhud, and dates it to Shawwal 3 AH. 1
What the source says
Quraysh raised the money by selling a thousand camels, and what they collected reached fifty thousand dinars. The sum was set aside to finance the war. 1
The Gregorian date in the museum's data (March 625 CE) is derived from the Hijri date.
