121- AND REMEMBER AS YOU LEFT YOU FAMILY THAT MORNING TO POST THE BELIEVERS INTO BATTLE STATIONS, AND ALLAH HEARS AND KNOWS ALL THINGS.

122- AS TWO PARTIES OF YOU ALMOST FELL AWAY, BUT ALLAH IS THEIR ALLY, AND IN ALLAH THE BELIEVERS SHOULD PUT THEIR TRUST.

Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him left the house of Aysha leading the army until he reached the mountain of Ohud.  He started positioning the Muslims in their battle stations. 

He placed 50 Archers lead by Abd Allah Ibn Jabir on the mountain of Ohud to protect the back of the Muslim army and said to them: “Keep the horsemen away from us with your arrows, to stop them attach us from behind.  Regardless of whether it is for us or against us (winning or losing); do not leave your stations, so that we will not be attacked from behind”.  (Ibn Is,haq & Ibn Hesham)

Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him gave the banner to Mosaab Ibn Omir.  Al-Zobir Ibn El-Awam lead one wing and Al-Monzer Ibn Amro the other. 

Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him offered a sword of his to one of the Muslims to take and fight hard with saying: “Who will take that sword and give it its dues?”.  Some men asked for it, but the sword was not offered to them.  A man from the Ansar called Abu Dajanah asked: “And what is its due Allah’s messenger?”  He said: “To fight the enemy with it until it is bent”.  Abu Dajanah said: “I will take it Allah’s messenger and give it its dues”.  Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him gave his the sword.  Abu Dajanah tied a red band around his head and walked swaying with pride.  Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “This is a walk Allah hates except in this situation”.  (Ibn Is,haq & Ibn Hesham)

Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him saw a vision before the battle of Ohud, he said: “By Allah I have seen some goodness.  I saw cows, and I saw s piece breaking off the edge of my sword, and I saw that I put my head into a strong shield”.  Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him interpreted the vision as follows: the cows that some of his companions will be killed, the sword that a man from his household will be killed, and the strong shield as the Medina”.  (Ibn Is,haq & Ibn Hesham)

Allah the Highest tells us about two Muslim groups who almost fell out, but they did not for Allah the Highest was their ally and He guided them.  Allah’s messenger’s companion Jabir Ibn Abd Allah said: “This Ayah was sent about us, we are the two groups; Bano Al-Haretha and Bano Salma.  I would not have liked it to be sent down, except that Allah said: “BUT ALLAH IS THEIR ALLY”.  (B:Tafseer Sorah;3)

It is not clear whether they considered falling out before leaving Medina or considered falling out when Abd Allah Ibn Obi fell out with 300 men.  However, as they are true believers, Allah the Highest did not leave them, but guided and supported them.

As Allah the Highest is our ally and supported we should put our trust in Him “AND IN ALLAH THE BELIEVERS SHOULD PUT THEIR TRUST”.  The disbelievers and evil doers support each other.  Allah the Highest said: “THE EVIL DOERS ARE ALLIES AND SUPPORTERS TO EACH OTHER, WHILE ALLAH IS THE ALLY AND SUPPORTER OF THE BELIEVERS”.  (S:45 A:19)

Trusting Allah the Highest is trusting the one most worthy of trust. The condition is that we should worship and obey Allah the Highest, otherwise our faith will be weak and of no consequence on our live.  It is then that we can qualify for Allah to be our ally and supported, only then we should expect His support.
