challenge the Muslims which was accepted by three great
Generals of Islam. Hazrat Ubaidah bin Al-Harith, Hazrat

and was killed by Hazrat Ali. Then Ubaidah bin Saeid
bin Al-'As, a famous warrior among the Quraish

challenge and killed him with a spear. This was followed
by the general attack of Quraish. But in a short time the
prominent leaders were either slain or made prisoners.
