BATTLE OF MU’TAH

The Battle of Mu'tah (Arabicمعركة مؤتة , غزوة مؤتة‎) was fought in September 629 C.E. (1 Jumada al-awwal 8 A.H.), near the village of Mu'tah, east of the Jordan River and Karak in Karak Governorate, between the forces of the Islamic prophetMuhammad and the forces of the Byzantine Empire. After victory in Khyber, Muslim army had got much power and prophet sent letters regading acceptance of Islam to emperors who had their realm near to borders of Arab. You sent letters to Hibsha where Najashe had his regin, Iran, Egypt and Byzantine. Haris bin Abi Shaber had regin in Arabistan worked under Byzantine. Prophet sent Haris Bin Umair for giving letter to Haris bin Abi Shaber. When he reached then met with Sharjeel bin Umro worked under Haris bin Abi Shabeer who arrested him and afterward he was murdered. Prophet sent message to Haris bin Abi Shabeer that one messenger was sent for giving you letter and his intention was not battle as he was alone. He was murdered unduly. Prophet asked him that if messenger is killed without his order then handover killer so that we can give him punish but if messenger is killed with your command then you are liable for this and deserve punishment. On reply of this letter, Haris bin Abi Shaber said that I am free in my kingdom and can kill anyone whom I want and you have no right for accountability and he was killed on my order.

On this reply, prophet prepared army of three thousand men under leadership of Zaid Bin Haris and commanded for battle against them in Motta. Haris Bin Abi Shabeer also asked for help from Rome under which he had his kingdom and one Lac army was sent toward him.  This army had full battle equipments. When they did face each other then some men in Muslim cavalry said that we should think first as they had largest number and best battle equipments as compare to those of us. Zaid Bin Haris said that we would fight in way of Allah and in both situation of defeat and victoey we would go heaven so we should not fear. These words motivated and prepared to Muslim army for battle. Muslims adopted same techinque as they used against Arab but it could not prove more useful as Rome troops were used to these tactics and had knowledge about it. In this fight, Zaid Bin Haris was martyered. After him, Hazrat Jaffar Bin Abi Talib took charge of leadership and was martyered. After him, Abdullah took charge of leadership and he started to recite verses of Quaran regarding heaven against martyer for motivation of Muslim army. Soon he was martyered. Then Khalid Bin Waleed took this charge and fought with valour and killed the leader of Rome army which made him think that Muslim army had received more army which made them more courgeous. Whole day this battle was fought. Khalid Bin Waleed with his thousand men came back in Medina. Remaining army was martyered.
