Commentary
Initially, at the battle of Hunain, fighters from both groups - the Ansārs (Helpers) and Muhājirs (Emigrants) had fled the battle field. The Prophet's exemplary courage and fortitude, however, gave them the courage once again, and slowly but surely they returned and joined back the battle. It is reported on the authority of 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd ؓ that there were eighty Emigrants with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on that occasion. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhī, v.3, p.26)
