Hamra al-Asad
حمراء الأسد
A place eight miles south of Medina. The Prophet reached it the day after the battle of Uhud (Sunday 8 Shawwal 3 AH) in pursuit of the withdrawing Quraysh army, camped there Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, then returned to Medina. The march on Hamra al-Asad is counted a continuation of Uhud, not a separate campaign {cite:mubarakpuri-raheeq p.285}.
