According to the traditional sources, [[muhaajiruun]] formed the majority of Muhammad's forces with a minority of [[ansar]]. With Muhammad were some of his best men, including [[Ali]]. Abu Sufyan was not with the Meccans, but they had sent their best warriors. The Muslims numbered about 300 warriors, including some young boys and old men, with about 70 camels and a smaller number of horses. The Meccans counted almost 1000 men, almost all of them warriors in their prime, and twice as many pack animals as the Muslims. | |||
