Commentary
The tradition refers to the events that had taken place after the Battle of Uhud. The Prophet ﷺ pursued the enemy until Hamrâ' Al-Asad, at a distance of eight miles. When the idolaters got the news of the pursuit, they were frightened and went back without invading Al-Madinah. (See The Sealed Nectar, p. 291).
'Urwah bin Zubair is a nephew of 'Aishah ؓ. His mother is Asmâ' bint Abu Bakr ؓ. Abu Bakr ؓ is, thus, his maternal grand father and Zubair bin 'Awwâm is his father.
