Muhammad Proved a Better General than Khalid at Uhud
Historymache took a very simplistic analysis of the battle of Uhud which does not make sense. The Meccans simply gave up in finding that Prophet Muhammad was dead. They did not proceed to march to Medina. Remember the Meccans consisted of 3000 infantry, 200 cavalry. While the Muslims consist of only 700 infantry, with only 100 wearing chain armour. 300 went back to Medina. The Muslim accounts showed that the Meccans finally knew that Prophet Muhammad survived, but they still retreated because Prophet Muhammad was able to retreat on the hill slopes. The retreating Muslims also gathered to the hills, which made sense because if they stayed at the plains, they would be slaughtered by Khalid's cavalry. Also, based on interviews with the Meccans who later converted to Islam, they revealed that they were all wounded and tired, so thought that they cannot beat the remnants of the Muslim army which was placed at the hills at that moment. They also feared that there would be reinforcement...
