Who killed the pagan Amr ibn Abd al-Wud in the Battle of the Trench (Ghazwa Ahzab)? 

1. Hazrat Umar (RA)
2. Hazrat Ali (RA)
3. Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA)
4. None of these

During the Battle of the Trench (5 AH/627 CE), the mighty warrior Amr ibn Abd al-Wud breached Muslim defenses, challenging anyone to duel. Only Hazrat Ali (RA) volunteered. Their legendary combat ended with Ali’s (RA) victory, boosting Muslim morale. The Prophet (ﷺ) declared: “Ali’s strike on Amr was worth the worship of all jinn and men.” This event cemented Ali’s (RA) reputation as Islam’s greatest swordsman and became a defining moment in early Islamic military history.
