Strong Believer The delegation returned to Saad, leader of the Muslims, to tell him that it was war. Saads eyes were hereby filled with tears. He had wished so much that the war would be delayed for some time. On that day his illness became more severe, and he had to suffer its heavy burden. The abscesses spread all over his body, to the extent that he could not sit, let alone ride his horse to take part in an extremely fierce and violent battle. If the war had just been waged before his illness or had it been delayed till he was cured and healthy again, then he would have proved himself brave. But now! No, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, had taught them never to say If because If means weakness. A strong believer is neither helpless nor weak. Thereupon the Lions Claws stood up to preach to his soldiers. He began his speech citing the following glorious verse: {And We have written in the Psalms (given to David) after the Torah (given to Moses): My righteous servants shall inherit the earth} (Al-Anbiya’ 21: 105) Having finished his speech Saad led his troops in the Dhuhr Prayer, then turned towards his soldiers and proclaimed four times, Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! The echo was to be heard all over the universe. Then he stretched out his arm like an unerring arrow pointing to the enemy and shouted to his soldiers, Lets start this battle accompanied by Allahs blessings. With pains hard to bear, he ascended to the balcony of his residence, which he used as a dwelling and a headquarters. On the balcony he sat on a pillow and leaned upon his chest. His door was left open, which meant that by the least Persian attack against his residence he would be captured, alive or dead, but he was far from being afraid or terrified. His abscesses were bleeding and hurting him severely, but he had something else to think about. Sitting on his balcony, he was shouting, calling, and commanding. First to those in one flank to step forward towards the right, and then to those in another flank to fill out the empty spot on the left. . . Mughira, look forward! Jurair follow them! Numan, hit! Ash`ath attack.. and you also Qaqaa. Forward, forward, Prophets Companions! His determined and hopeful sound turned each individual soldier into an army of its own. The Persian soldiers fell like flies and with them fell the worship of fire and paganism. After seeing the death of their commander and their best soldiers, the defeated, scattered remnants rapidly escaped. The Muslim army pursued them until they reached Nahawand then Al-Madain. There they fought to carry with them at the end the emperors throne and crown as war booty.
