On 1st Shawwal, 8th Hijra a strong Islamic force approached the valley of Hunain? Answer: 12000

The Muslim army of 12,000 men marched to intercept the Hawazin and Thaqif tribes who had gathered an army in the valley of Awtas in preparation to attack Mecca. The battle is notable for the initial rout and subsequent decisive victory for the Muslims, which is mentioned by name in the Quran (Surah At-Tawbah 9:25-26).
