       Muslims who migrated from Mecca had left all there belongings in Mecca. They virtually lost everything. People of Mecca confiscated all the properties and belongings of Muslims. Quraish lunched a massive trade caravan that went to Sham with the money they stole from the Muslims. The caravan on its way back to Mecca would pass near Al Madinah.

Rasulu Allah (saws) decided that Muslims should intercept the caravan and confiscate the goods brought from Sham. It was the Muslims money that Quraish used to purchase these goods. So, it was a kind of getting back some of what the Muslims lost.       Rasulu Allah (saws) announced to the Muslims his intentions. Three hundred people joined him. They set out to intercept the caravan. However, Abu Sufyan, the leader of the caravan, learnt about the Muslims' plan. He sent a messenger to deliver the news to Mecca and to ask them for help.
