Muhammad: After Muhammad conquered Mecca, some of the remaining free people of Arabia joined together in an attempt to defeat him. Leading on his white mule, Muhammad marched out against them with a huge army of 12,000 men. However, the enemy made a suprise ambush against them in the morning twilight, and Muhammad's soldiers broke rank and fled in terror. Muhammad withdrew to the right and shouted, "Where you going, men? come to me. I am God's apostle. I am Muhammad the son of Abdullah." A few stayed with him, but most kept running. Muhammad asked a man with a "powerful voice" who was standing by to call out for the people. One hundred fighters eventually came back to stand with him. Ultimately the huge Muslim army defeated their enemy that day. This is known as the Battle of Hunayn.
The point is that Muhammad demanded that his followers protected him.
Jesus: While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people...Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. With that, one of Jesus' companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?"...Then all the disciples deserted him and fled. -Mathew 26:47, 50-54, 56
