It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) laid siege to the people of Ta’if, but did not achieve any benefit from it. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) announced one day that,“Tomorrow, insha’Allah, we will return.”The Muslims felt uneasy at this command. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became aware of this and told them to stay. The next day, there was fighting, and many Muslims were wounded. On that day, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again made the same announcement:“Tomorrow, insha’Allah, we will return.”This time, the Muslims were pleased, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled upon seeing this.
