And on the Day of Hunayn: {"And on the day of Hunayn when your great number pleased you."} 1

The Messenger, majestic is His mention, said on the Day of the Confederates (al-Ahzab): "Praise be to Allah who fulfilled His promise, supported His servant, and defeated the enemies alone."

And from these verses and their equivalents, there are more than can be counted.

And it was narrated concerning Quraysh that it had two journeys, a journey to the lands of the Levant in the summer and a journey to the lands of Yemen in the winter. So during the winter journey to Yemen, they stopped at one of its churches and kindled a fire, and the church burned down.

When that news reached the king, he seized their caravan and prevented them from traveling, and said: "I will surely burn down your Kaaba!" This became a grave matter for the Messenger, and Quraysh starved during that year. So He sent the Prince of the Believers, majestic is His mention, and he killed the king and brought back the caravan 2 .
