The Day of Qadisiyyah ....... The Retreat of Jalinus (Qadisiyyah-9) Qa'qa's Restlessness for an Onslaught The Muslim army was getting restless to launch an allout attack on the enemy. It was customary for Sayyidana Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas ~ to ready the army by proclaiming the takbir (Allahu Akbar) three times. When he proclaimed the takbir the fourth time, the battle would start. But
Qa' qa ~ and his brave companions carried out the attack without waiting for the takbirs. In other words, he launched the attack without Sa' d's permission. Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas ~ had been watching him. In accordance with the prevailing principle, it was a transgression of the general rule. But Sa' d ~ declared Qa' qa' s enterprise adequate. Sa' d ~ was a man whose supplications were always answered. He raised his hands and supplicated to Allah to grant Qa' qa ~ success. When Sa' d ~ proclaimed the customary takbir three times, the entire army got ready for battle. In contrast to the thirteen rows of the enemy, the Muslim troops had only three lines. The first row consisted of archers, then cavalrymen, followed by infantry.
