Overview
When news reached the Prophet of the army of Quraysh heading for Medina, he held a military council, and then prepared his army to go out to Uhud. 1
The counsel
The Prophet thought he should remain in Medina and fight the polytheists in its lanes, and Abd Allah ibn Ubayy agreed with him. But the young Companions who had missed Badr pressed for going out until he agreed with them. 1
The data say that Hamza pressed for going out, and that Sa'd ibn Mu'adh said to the people: "You have compelled the Messenger of God to go out, so return the matter to him." 2
The companies
The Prophet put on his two coats of mail and girded his sword, and divided his army into three companies: the company of the Emigrants under the banner of Musab ibn Umayr, the company of the Aws under the banner of Usayd ibn Hudayr, and the company of the Khazraj under the banner of al-Hubab ibn al-Mundhir. 1
That was on Friday, the sixth of Shawwal 3 AH according to al-Mubarakfuri. 3 The event is part of the Battle of Uhud.
