A great mu’jizah (miracle)

Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) picked a handful of sand and threw it towards the disbelievers. Allah ﷻ (exalted is His majesty) caused the sand to go into their eyes. The disbelievers were overawed and fled from the battlefield. The Muslims eventually gained victory. Only four Muslims were martyred whereas more than seventy disbelievers were killed.

The Muslims took possession of all the enemy’s belongings as booty amongst which were twenty four thousand camels, more than forty thousand goats and four thousand awqiya (489,888 kgs.) of silver. All this was distributed among the Muslims. The new Muslims from Makkah were given a larger share of the booty.
