It was called Khandaq, meaning 'Trench' war. Thousands of sahabis together with Rasool Allah
 built a trench all around Madinah to defend themselves and thier city from the nonbelievers (confederates; al- Ahzab). Bani Nadir (a Jewish tribe) went to Khaibar and gained sympathy of the people there, made an army of 10,000 and went to Madinah. RasoolAllah found out and took the opinion of Salman al-Farisi  who said to build a trench all around the city so the enemies can not enter. Muhammad and 3,000 other sahabah  made the trench in 20 days, SubhanAllah. There was no direct contact because of the trench standing between the two parties. The main weapon used was arrows. |

i'll quote from The Sealed Nectar....
"Some extraordinary Prophetic signs appeared in the process of engineering the trench. Jabir bin Abdullah seeing the Prophet starving, slaughtered a lamb, cooked some gbarley and requested the Prophet and some other Companions to accept his invitation. The Prophet gathered all the thousand people engaged in digging the trench and they started to eat until they were all completely full. After that, the vessel of mutton and dough that was being baked remained as they were before, without decreasing. A certain woman brought a handful of dates and passed by the Prophet who took the dates, tossing them around in his cloak and invited his followers to eat. The dates began to increase in number until they dropped over the trim of his robe."SubhanAllah. |

Jazakallah khair to all for replying, But i have a question hoping you can answer this too inshallah, Whilst doing my research i read that the kuffar army actually had 20'000 men and that the trench was built in 6 days, ive also found contradicting info on the dates i.e some kitabs say it took place in zul qa'dah and many internet websites say shawwal. Which one is correct? |

According to my seerah book, Rehmat e Alim (read in darul-uloom Buffalo) it took 20 days to build the trench by the hands of 3,000 people. And this battle took place in Dhul Qad'ah 5 Hijri Does anyone know what Khattab, father of hazrat umar (r.a) said regarding muslims, our teacher gave us a hint and said that a animal has summat to do with it. And also does anyone know who Umm Abdullah bint Abu Hathma was? and why hazrat Umar (r.a) cried when she left makkah due to the torture afflicted on them? Jazakallah khair to anyone who answers

Ishaq mentions Umm 'Abdullah bint Abu Hathma ( Guillaume's tr, p155-6). 'Umar approached her and said, 'so you are leaving?' Umm 'Abdullah expected harsh words as at that time he was persecuting the Muslims in Mecca. He simply replied 'Allah be with you' and walked off. When she told her husband, he asked her if she thought he would convert and when she said 'I have hopes' he replied: 'His father's donkey will become a Muslim before he does.' As far as I know that's all that's known about her.
