The worst kind of fight is when a man is defeated not by his opponents' strength but by his own lack of fitness and preparation. The battles of the Muslims throughout the course of history show us that their defeats did not come from the zeal of the enemy against them but from their own disagreements and broken ranks, so that their disasters were almost always of their own making. When they repaired the damage, things turned in their favour.
