At the end of the battle of OHUD, the victorious army of the idolaters returned back to Mecca at once and with an amazing speed, as if a great and powerful fresh army was after them! they travelled up to a distance of 15 miles from Medina, and stayed there in order to avoid giving any ground for the impression that they were fleeing from the Muslims. There; Abusofyan, their commander had a chance to think over the matters, and came to know how bad their hurry and return in confusion was! He seriously thought of returning to Medina the town of the prophet.

      In the next morning by the guidance of Allah, the Messenger of God issued an emergency commandment that:

      ``Those who had taken part in the battle of OHUD had to set out urgently in pursuit of the enemy!''

      This was a good demonstration of power, for overawing the enemy and inspiring the defeated Muslims with confidence. The Muslims set out of Medina and came as far as HAMRÄOLASAD, some eight miles from Medina.

HAZRAT IMAM ALI (AS) was badly injured and had more than sixty wounds, small or big upon his body when he heard of the new command. In spite of his strength completely impaired, the Lion of God got up, dressed some of his more dangerous wounds and joined the Muslim forces in time! Most of the Muslim warriors were wounded and completely exhausted, but they did not want to disobay God and His Messenger.

      ABUSOFYAN the commander of the heathens, was informed that the prophet's army are chasing them and have approached very near! He was struck with astonishment, and a mysterious fear seized him all over. He thought for a while and then issued an order of decampment. His troops at once and immediately moved on and escaped, leaving some of their heavy things and equipments behind. They made for Mecca with utmost haste and in confusion!

      When the news of their flee reached the Muslim camp, the prophet predicted that in future GHOREISH will never get another victory like their's in the battle of OHUD. Later on the prophet's prediction proved right and was found true. the above verses revealed in such that critical state to encourage the believers and infuse new blood in their veins and new movement in their blood.
