After which Ghazwa did the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) stay for three days at a place called Al-Asad?

Explanation

After the Battle of Uhud, the Prophet (PBUH) pursued the Quraysh army to Hamra-ul-Asad, a place about eight miles from Madinah, and camped there for three days. This strategic move was meant to demonstrate that the Muslims were still strong and undefeated despite the losses at Uhud, thereby deterring the Quraysh from returning to attack Madinah. The expedition to Hamra-ul-Asad is considered an extension of Ghazwa Uhud and took place on the very next day after the battle.

Good to know

Hamra-ul-Asad is located approximately eight miles from Madinah on the route to Makkah. The Prophet (PBUH) ordered only those who had participated in the Battle of Uhud to join this pursuit, as a test of their resilience and faith. The Quraysh, led by Abu Sufyan, had initially planned to return and finish off the Muslims but were discouraged when they learned that the Prophet (PBUH) had advanced to Hamra-ul-Asad with a fresh show of strength.
