On Saturday, 7ᵗʰ Shawwal 3H after the encounter at Uhud the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi
wa sallam) and his Companions returned home to Medina and reached there at sunset.
Upon reaching Medina, the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) and his Companions
made their way to the Mosque to offer the evening prayer, after which they retired to
their homes to tend to their multiple wounds and rest. Very few Muslims had escaped
with minor injuries.
When the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) entered his home he asked Lady Fatima
to wash away the blood from his sword saying, "Wash the blood from this my daughter,
for by Allah it has served me well this day." Ali also handed his sword to Lady Fatima
and asked the same, then the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) turned to Ali and
said, "You fought well as did Sahl, Hunayf's son, and Abu Dujanah."
There was always the possibility that the Koraysh would change their plan, turn, and
march on Medina and so Sa’ad together with others from the tribes of Aws and Khazraj,
took it in turn to stand guard outside the Mosque.
