What was the main reason for the initial disarray and near defeat of the Muslim army in the Battle of Hunayn, despite their significant numerical superiority?

Explanation

The Muslim army in Hunayn was numerically superior, which led to an initial sense of overconfidence. The Quran itself mentions this, stating, 'You were proud of your great numbers, but they availed you naught.' This overconfidence made them vulnerable to a sudden ambush by the Hawazin and Thaqif tribes, causing initial panic.
