Abu Sufyan had succeeded in forming a military alliance which consisted of the Jews and various tribes of the Arabs. when the Prophet Muhammad Sallalahualaihiwasalam was informed about this huge army, He called a meeting of His Companions. As per the suggestion of Hazrat Salman Farsi, a trench of a depth of five cubits and width of more than ten cubits was dug, all around. The ten thousand, strong and well equipped army of Quresh tried to cross it for 25 days but in-vain. Finally, the army began to succumb and Abu Sufyan was forced to retreat to Makkah in sheer frustration.
