Mount Uhud
A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.
Uhud is a rocky volcanic mountain stretching about five kilometers north of the Prophet ﷺ's Mosque in Medina, its most famous landmark. The Prophet took his army to it in 3 AH (625 CE) to meet Quraysh under Abu Sufyan in the battle of Uhud; the fighting turned at its foot and the Muslims were defeated after the archers left their post, and some seventy companions were martyred, among them Hamza the Prophet's uncle, master of martyrs — they were buried in a cemetery at the mountain's foot still visited today. In the hadith the Prophet said Uhud is a mountain that loves us and we love it, so Muslims hold its visit and the martyrs' graves dear.
