الَّذِينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ مِن بَعْدِ مَا أَصَابَهُمُ الْقَرْحُ ۚ لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا مِنْهُمْ وَاتَّقَوْا أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ

3:172 The reference here is to the expedition the Holy Prophet (pbuh) led against the pagans of Makkah after the Battle of Uhad. The withdrawing Makkan army boasted that they were victorious, but they had nothing to show for it—neither any booty nor prisoners. Anticipating their return, the Holy Prophet (pbuh) on the following day left with 250 men to pursue the enemy forces. When the Makkan army heard of this, they dispersed. The Holy Prophet (pbuh) continued the pursuit as far as Hamrâ al-Asad, a place about eight miles from Madînah in the direction of Makkah. This expedition was named after this place.
