Sufyan was the commander of the Koraysh army, it was agreed among the Koraysh
chieftains that they would take it in turns to lead the army so that the honors would be
evenly divided.
THE WARNING:
Not everyone in Mecca supported Abu Sufyan. There were a few, including Abbas, the
uncle of the Prophet, who once again feared for his nephew's safety, so, under the
cloak of secrecy several horsemen left for Medina with the news. The urgent state of
affairs compelled them to ride with such haste that they reached Medina in just four
days.
Upon reaching Medina, the horsemen wasted no time and went directly to the Prophet,
praise and peace be upon him. to inform him of the two armies advancing on Medina on
either side giving details of their numbers and weaponry. Once again, the Muslims had
a week in which to prepare for the encounter.
Immediately, the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, sent word to the people of the
outlying areas of Medina to return to the City, and called for a meeting to discuss the
chieftains that they would take it in turns to lead the army so that the honors would be
evenly divided.
