Beginning of the Battle

The battle started.At the beginning the
muslims won the battle .
The unbelievers flee and moved back.
The muslims start collecting the spoils.

​The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam,appointed fifty skillful archers to climb a high hill and protect the rear of the army, and ordered them not to leave their positions whether or not the Muslims were victorious. 

The fighting began and Allaah gave victory to the Muslims over their enemy at the beginning. Believing that the battle was over, the Muslims became busy collecting the spoils of war which the defeated polytheists had left behind.

On seeing this, the archers failed to follow the Messenger’s, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam,

instructions and they left their positions to take part in the spoils collection like their fellow fighters.

On the other side, Khaalid Ibn Al-Waleed, who had
not yet embraced Islam, noticed that the rear of
the Muslim army was left unprotected by the
archers. He, therefore, attacked the Muslim army
who were taken by surprise. The Prophet,
sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, himself was wounded as
a result and the Muslims were defeated, leaving
seventy-one martyrs. The Muslims learned a most
costly lesson when they failed to follow the
instructions of the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa
sallam.

Why the Muslims got defeated in this
Battle?

Some archers disobeyed the prophet (pbuh)
and left their post to chase the fleeing
army. They hoped to collect the spoils.

Al-walid, surprised them from behind. They went
