And when you left from your family in the dawn for stationing the believers at their battle-position, and Lord Allah is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
The following verses are explaining about the Battle of Uhud which was occurred in the 10th month ‘Shawwal’ (10th month of Hijra Calender) of the 3rd year of Hijra. In the ‘Ramadhan’ (9th month) of the 2nd year of Hijra, the Battle of Badr occurred and most of the leaders of Meccan pagans had been killed and about seventy persons were caught as captives. As an act of revenge for that in the 3rd year of Hijra, about three thousand armed soldiers under the leadership of Abu Sufiyan were forced towards Medina. For not to turn back the soldiers and to encourage them, their women folks were also brought with them. Even Messenger and the prime companions decided to block them at the center of Medina itself. Some youths who were unable to participate in the Battle of Badr and were desiring for martyrdom forced Messenger to go to the mount Uhud with thousand soldiers.
