About
Al Romat Mountain, or Aynin Mountain, is a small mountain adjacent to Mount Uhud, about three kilometers north of the Prophet's Mosque near Medina. It is the mountain where Muhammad, in the Battle of Uhud, stationed fifty archers to protect the Muslims' rear from the infiltration of the polytheists. The archers disobeyed his orders, thinking that the battle had finished. The polytheists attacked the Muslims, and killed a large number of them.
