W.
Montgomery Watt writes concerning the evolution of the Prophet’s
صلى
الله عليه وسلم political
authority in Medina that when he first arrived in Medina he was
recognized as Prophet by the main Arab clans, but in political
matters, he was not considered their head, only the head of the
Muhajirin. Only after the Battle of Khandaq, in April 627 could it be
said that the Prophet صلى
الله عليه وسلم achieved
political mastery over Medina.
This
is clear proof that the Prophet صلى
الله عليه وسلم was
recognized as possessing two capacities, his Prophesy, which was
accepted by the main clans of Medina on the eve of Hijrah, and his
political role, which evolved and extended itself over time with the
prestige he gained through victories of Badr and then Khandaq.
