The Battle of the Trench, also known as
the Battle of Al-Ahzab.
Some narrations in Sira say that they were
between 8,000 to 10,000 in the
army of the disbelievers.
The whole population of Medina was less than
that number.
Salman Al-Farisi رضي الله عنه said, O
Messenger of Allah, back home in Persia, if
we were in a similar situation, what we
would do is dig a trench that was
wide and deep in order to defend the
city from attack.
So the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم liked
this idea.
The army of Quraysh and their confederates, they
came and they laid siege to the city
of Medina.
In terms of actual fighting, it was very
little because the trench did what it was
meant to do.
They stayed there for over 20 days and
nights laying siege to the city of Medina.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is making
dua to Allah سبحانه وتعالى.
And Allah عز و جل sends a fierce
violent wind on the camp of Quraysh and
the other armies.
It blows away their tents, blows away their
possessions, blows away the ropes that were tying
their animals.
So they start to flee and their whole
camp goes into disarray.
Those people left and they went back home
and Allah عز و جل gave victory to
the Muslims.
This in a nutshell is what took place
in the battle of Ghandak, the battle of
the trench.
