Like all boys of the Koraysh tribe he was taught the art of manhood and how best
to defend himself. Muhammad had very keen eyesight and so it wasn't surprising
that he became an excellent archer like his ancestor Prophet Ishmael.
Muhammad was fifteen years of age when a clash between the tribes of Koraysh
under the command of Harb, Umayyah's son and the Banu Hawazin erupted.
Since the time of Prophets Abraham and Ishmael, certain months of the year had
been held sacred. During these months physical hostilities between the tribes
had become strictly forbidden. However, the rule was broken when Al Barrad,
Kais Al Kinani's son son, killed Urwah Al Rahal, Utba Al Howazini's son
The battle that ensued became known as the "Battle of Fijar" because it took
place during the forbidden months. Abu Talib took part in the fighting, which was
destined to erupt spasmodically over a period of four years, however,
Muhammad did not take part in the fighting, rather, he would gather the stray
arrows for his uncle.
