As Ukkashah, from the tribe of Jahsh, fought valiantly against the unbelievers,
his sword broke so he returned to the Prophet and requested another weapon.
Instead of a sword, the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, gave him a
wooden club. As Ukkashah took hold of it a miracle occurred, the club was
transformed into a strong, long, shinning sword and he threw himself once again
into the heat of the battle. From that time onwards, Ukkashah used the sword in
every battle and called it "Al Awn", meaning "the Help".
THE REWARD OF ABU JAHL, ABU'L HAKAM:
The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, ordered his companions to be on
the lookout for Abu Jahl. Mu'az, the son of Amr overheard one of the others
saying that Abu Jahl had been seen somewhere in a thicket, but that he was
difficult to reach. Mu'az was not deterred and began to search for him. Shortly
afterwards he found him and they engaged each other in fierce combat until
Mu'az struck him with such force that Abu Jahl's foot and shin were sliced off and
flew through the air as if they had been date stones struck by a pestle. When
his sword broke so he returned to the Prophet and requested another weapon.
