'No man shall conquer you this day.
I shall be your protector.
But when the two armies came within sight of each other
he took to his heels saying:
'I reject you, for I can see what you cannot.
I fear Allah. His punishment is stern.'
Chapter 8 verses 43 - 48
Al Aswad, the son of Abdul Asad from the tribe of Mackzum, known for his
disagreeable personality, was the first to initiate hostilities as he cried out in
defiance: "I will drink from their reservoir, destroy it or else die before reaching it!"
Hamza, the son of Abdul Muttalib took up the challenge and as the two engaged
in combat Hamza struck him with such force that his foot and shin were severed.
Al Aswad was determined to fulfill his oath and crawled toward this reservoir,
however, Hamza struck him yet again and he died as he fell into it.
I shall be your protector.
