Note 133
In the iiid chapter of the Koran, (p. 50 -
53, with Sale's notes, the prophet alleges some poor excuses
for the defeat of Ohud. Note: Dr. Weil has added some
curious circumstances, which he gives as on good traditional
authority, on the rescue of Mahomet. The prophet was
attacked by Ubeijj Ibn Challaf, whom he struck on the neck
with a mortal wound. This was the only time, it is added,
that Mahomet personally engaged in battle. (p. 128.) - M.
1845.]
