The Battle of Hamra al-Assad (Arabic: غزوة حمراء الأسد), was a Ghazawat, a battle in which Muhammad took part. It occurred in AD 625 (AH 3) after the Battle of Uhud, when the Quraysh were returning to Mecca.

In this battle the Meccans wanted to finally exterminate the Muslims after weakening them in Uhud, by preventing their return to Mecca and finishing them off at Medina.[3] Muhammad successfully prevented this.[5][6] As a result, the Meccans cancelled their attack and decided not to return to Medina. Later, Muhammad was able to get the upper hand over them.[3]
