Initially the prophet had wanted to wait for the [[mushrikuun]] to come to him in the city and fight there. Ignoring the advice of his companions (and, he could not know, the advice of Chinese master strategist Sun Tzu as well) he abandoned this plan, though, to face the Meccans north of the city at Mount Uhud where they were grazing their animals. The Meccans were thus able to prepare and face Muhammad and his army in a defensive stance. | |||
