2 Hence, He contended with him in fight; and in war, or hostility. It is said of Mohammad, by Aboo-Sufyán Ibn- Harb, لَمْ يُنَاكِرْ أَحَدًا إِلَّا كَانَتْ مَعَهُ الأَهْوَالُ, meaning, He did not war with any one without being aided by terror [cast into the hearts of his opponents]. And one says, بَيْنَهُمَا مُنَاكَرَةٌ Between them two is war, or hostility, and fighting.
