Note 178 — ALL THE WARS OF MOHAMMAD WERE DEFENSIVE.
Reading edition
"Mahomet did not send the Medina converts on any hostile expedition against the Koreish, until they had warred with him at Badr, and the reason is, that they had pledged themselves to protect him only at their homes."—K. Wackidi, 48; Muir's Life of Mahomet, Vol. III, p. 64, note.
