Figure 1: Battle of Trench<br />

“Upon the arrival of the pagan army, <strong>Khabbab</strong> and his<br />

fellow Muslims stood on the other side of the trench<br />

daring anyone of the pagans to cross over. The siege<br />

continued for about one month. The pagans with their<br />

huge army were trying their best to cross over the trench<br />

and the Jews were waiting for the chance to see the<br />

Muslims surrender to have them as an easy prey. 51<br />

Muslims during this time were facing a lot of<br />

hardships. Living on limited supplies, they were often<br />

very hungry. <strong>Khabbab</strong> and the other Muslims kept<br />

steadfast in the face of this huge dilemma.<br />
