This refers to another incident that happened in the course of the battle of OHUD, when a cry was raised that Mohammad was killed: ``It so happened that, one of the heathens killed MASAAB-IBN-UMEIR, who was the standard bearer of Muslims, and also he had some physical resemblances to the prophet. When so; the heathen exclaimed in strong emotion and a very loud voice that, upon the glory of HOBAL, our great idol, I killed Mohammad! He then ran this way and that, repeating his news happily.''

      A confusion and bad disorder followed the announcement, wherein most of the Muslims; even the prophet's near companions (``like OMAR and OTHMAN'') abandoned the prophet and left the battle-field and run away. The Messenger of God was indeed severely wounded, but through his unexampled bravery and faith, his courage and firmness, he saved the Muslim army from a rout. In that sad incident only a very few of the prophet's companions; namely: HAZRAT ALI (AS) - TALHA - ABUDAJJANNEH and NASEEBEH, a water carrier woman stayed at his side and fought bravely. This verse is to reproach and admonish those multitude, and majority who wavered and ran away, leaving the prophet alone in the battle-field for the enemy!
