Bringing the Situation under Control

although the death of asad (lion) of allâh and his messenger — hamzah bin ‘abdul muttalib — was a great loss, the muslims maintained full control over the whole situation on the battlefield. on that day, abu bakr, ‘umar bin al-khattab, ‘ali bin abi talib, az-zubair bin al-‘awwam, mus‘ab bin ‘umair, talha bin ‘ubaidullâh, ‘abdullah bin jahsh, sa‘d bin ar-rabî‘ and anas bin an-nadr and others — all of them fought so fiercely, effectively and efficiently that they broke the strong will of the idolaters and scattered them.
