BattlesDesertions, defections and withdrawals
Overview
On the way to Uhud, near al-Shawt, Abd Allah ibn Ubayy withdrew with about three hundred fighters. His argument was that the Prophet ﷺ had not taken his opinion about remaining in the city. Al-Mubarakfuri holds that this withdrawal revealed for the first time the hypocrisy that had been hidden. 1
Steadfastness
The Banu Haritha of the Aws and the Banu Salima of the Khazraj were about to turn back, and then they held firm. Abd Allah ibn Haram, the father of Jabir, tried to turn the hypocrites back, but they refused. 1
This is part of the Battle of Uhud.
