BATTLES BADAR

 

BADAR 


& Prophet (s) cursed them

Bukhari Volume 5, Book 64, Number 3976:

Narrated Abu Talha:

On the day of Badar, the Prophet (s) ordered that the corpses of twenty four leaders of Quraish should be thrown into one of the dirty dry wells of Badar. (It was a habit of the Prophet that whenever he conquered some people, he used to stay at the battle-field for three nights. So, on the third day of the battle of Badar, he ordered that his she-camel be saddled, then he set out, and his companions followed him saying among them." "Definitely he (i.e. the Prophet) is proceeding for some great purpose." When he halted at the edge of the well, he addressed the corpses of the Quraish infidels by their names and their fathers' names, "O so-and-so, son of so-and-so and O so-and-so, son of so-and-so! Would it have pleased you if you had obeyed Allah and His Apostle? We have found true what our Lord promised us. Have you too found true what your Lord promised you? "'Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle! You are speaking to bodies that have no souls!" Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, you do not hear, what I say better than they do."

Qatada said, "Allah brought them to life (again) to let them hear him, to reprimand them and slight them and take revenge over them and caused them to feel remorseful and regretful."

(2) Death of Umaiyya Bin Khalaf

Note: Bilal killing Ummaiya bin Khalaf who had unleashed cruel tortures on him when Bilal accepted Islam in Makkah, Bilal was Ummaiya’s slave, till he was manumitted by Abu Bakar.

(2) CHAPTER. If a Muslim deputizes a non-Muslim warrior in a country of infidelity or in a Muslim state, the contract is valid. (This is about the contract between 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf and Umaiya bin Khalaf)

Bukhari Volume 3, Book 40, Number 2301:

Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf:

I got an agreement written between me and Umaiyya bin Khalaf that Umaiyya would look after my property (or family) in Mecca and I would look after his in Medina. When I mentioned the word 'Ar-Rahman' in the documents, Umaiyya said, "I do not know 'Ar-Rahman.' Write down to me your name, (with which you called yourself) in the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance." So, I wrote my name ' 'Abdu 'Amr'. On the day (of the battle) of Badar, when all the people went to sleep, I went up the hill to protect him. Bilal saw him (i.e. Umaiyya) and went to a gathering of Ansar and said, "(Here is) Umaiya bin Khalaf! Woe to me if he escapes!" So, a group of Ansar went out with Bilal to follow us ('Abdur-Rahman and Umaiya). Being afraid that they would catch us, I left Umaiyya's son for them to keep them busy but the Ansar killed the son and insisted on following us. Umaiyya was a fat man, and when they approached us, I told him to kneel down, and he knelt, and I laid myself on him to protect him, but the Ansar killed him by passing their swords underneath me, and one of them injured my foot with his sword. (The sub narrator said, " 'Abdur-Rahman used to show us the trace of the wound on the back of his foot.")

Translator’s Note 1: Umaiyya used to torture Bilal severely when he was in Makkah because he had embraced Islam.

(3) Badar duel 1to1 before actual battle

Before the pitched Battle of Badar, as per custom, one to one dual was fought between Hamza, 'Ali, Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Harith from Muslims side and Shaiba bin Rabi'a, 'Utba and Al-Wahd bin Utba from the side of Quraish.

From Qais bin Ubad: 'Ali bin Abi Talib said, "I shall be the first man to kneel down before (Allah), the Beneficent to receive His judgment on the day of Resurrection (in my favor)." Qais bin Ubad also said, "The following Verse was revealed in their connection:

"These two opponents believers and disbelievers) Dispute with each other about their Lord." (22.19) Qais said that they were those who fought on the day of Badr, namely, Hamza, 'Ali, 'Ubaida or Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Harith, Shaiba bin Rabi'a, 'Utba and Al-Wahd bin Utba.

Allah's Apostle (s) while in a tent on the day of the Battle of Badar, said, "O Allah! I request you (to fulfill) Your promise and contract! O Allah! If You wish that you will not be worshipped henceforth.." On that Abu Bakr held the Prophet by the hand and said, "That is enough, O Allah's Apostle You have appealed to your Lord too pressingly," while the Prophet was putting on his armor. So Allah's Apostle went out, reciting their multitude will be put to flight, and they will show their backs.' (54.45)

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

On the day of the battle of Badar, the Prophet (s) said, "O Allah! I appeal to You (to fulfill) Your Covenant and Promise. O Allah! If Your Will is that none should worship You (then give victory to the pagans)." Then Abu Bakr took hold of him by the hand and said, "This is sufficient for you." The Prophet came out saying, "Their multitude will be put to flight and they will show their backs." (54.45)

The Prophet was clad in his armor at that time. He went out, saying to me: "There multitude will be put to flight and they will show their backs. Nay, but the Hour is their appointed time (for their full recompense) and that Hour will be more grievous and bitterer (than their worldly failure)." (54.45-46) Khalid said that was on the day of the battle of Badar. (3953)

By Allah, none crossed the river with him but a believer. (See Qur'an 2:249)

While I was standing in the row on the day (of the battle) of Badar, I looked to my right and my left and saw two young Ansari boys, and I wished I had been stronger than they. One of them called my attention saying, "O Uncle! Do you know Abu Jahal?" I said, "Yes, What you want from him, O my nephew?" He said, "I have been informed that he abuses Allah's Apostle (s). By Him in Whose Hands my life is, if I should see him, then my body will not leave his body till either of us meets his fate." I was astonished at that talk. Then the other boy called my attention saying the same as the other had said. After a while I saw Abu Jahal walking amongst the people. I said (to the boys), "Look! This is the man you asked me about." So, both of them attacked him with their swords and struck him to death and returned to Allah's Apostle (s) to inform him of that. Allah's Apostle (s) asked, "Which of you has killed him?" Each of them said, "I Have killed him." Allah's Apostle (s) asked, "Have you cleaned your swords?" They said, "No. “He (s) then looked at their swords and said, "No doubt, you both have killed him and the spoils of the deceased will be given to Muadh bin Amr bin Al-Jamuh." The two boys were Muadh bin 'Afra and Muadh bin Amr bin Al-Jamuh.

(8) Honor given to companions fought in Badar

(23) CHAPTER. (The legal aspect of) the one who looks at a letter in order to know its written contents and the meanings of its subject which is not allowed for the Muslims to look at.

Bukhari Volume 8, Book 79, Number 6259:

Narrated 'Ali:

Allah's Apostle (s) sent me, Az-Zubair bin Al-Awwam and Abu Marthad Al-Ghanawi, and all of us were horsemen, and he said, "Proceed till you reach Rawdat Khakh, where there is a woman from the pagans carrying a letter sent by Hatib bin Abi Balta'a to the pagans (of Mecca)." So we overtook her while she was proceeding on her camel at the same place as Allah's Apostle told us. We said (to her) "Where is the letter which is with you?" She said, "I have no letter with me." So we made her camel kneel down and searched her mount (baggage etc) but could not find anything. My two companions said, "We do not see any letter." I said, "I know that Allah's Apostle (s) did not tell a lie. By Allah, if you (the lady) do not bring out the letter, I will strip you of your clothes' When she noticed that I was serious, she put her hand into the knot of her waist sheet, for she was tying a sheet round herself, and brought out the letter. So we proceeded to Allah's Apostle (s) with the letter. The Prophet said (to Habib), "What made you o what you have done, O Hatib?" Hatib replied, "I have done nothing except that I believe in Allah and His Apostle, and I have not changed or altered (my religion). But I wanted to do the favor to the people (pagans of Mecca) through which Allah might protect my family and my property, as there is none among your companions but has someone in Mecca through whom Allah protects his property (against harm). The Prophet (s) said, "Habib has told you the truth, so do not say to him (anything) but good." 'Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "Verily he has betrayed Allah, His Apostle, and the believers! Allow me to chop his neck off!" The Prophet said, "O 'Umar! What do you know; perhaps Allah looked upon the Badar warriors and said, 'Do whatever you like, for I have ordained that you will be in Paradise.'" On that 'Umar wept and said, "Allah and His Apostle know best."

(9) Prisoners of War Badar Ubai’s shirt fitted Abbas

uncle of Prophet (s)
allowed by Prophet (s)

(142) CHAPTER: Providing the prisoners of war with clothes.

Bukhari Volume 4, Book 56, Number 3008:

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

When it was the day (of the battle) of Badar, prisoners of war were brought including Al-Abbas who was undressed. The Prophet (s) looked for a shirt for him. It was found that the shirt of 'Abdullah bin Ubai would do, so the Prophet(s) let him wear it. That was the reason why the Prophet (s) took off and gave his own shirt to 'Abdullah. (The narrator adds, "He had done the Prophet (s) some favor for which the Prophet (s) liked to reward him.") [see Hadis 1270, 1350]

Translator’s Note: When 'Abdullah bin Ubai (the chief of hypocrites) died, the Prophet (s) let him be shrouded in his (i.e., the Prophet's) own shirt. 

(10) Ummaiyya not brave man, reluctant to join Battle of Badar

Bukhari Volume 4, Book 61, Number 3632:

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:

Sa'd bin Mu'adh came to Mecca with the intention of performing 'Umra, and stayed at the house of Umaiyya bin Khalaf Abi Safwan, for Umaiyya himself used to stay at Sa'd's house when he passed by Medina on his way to Sham. Umaiyya said to Sad, "Will you wait till midday when the people are (at their homes), then you may go and perform the Tawaf round the Ka'ba?" So, while Sad was going around the Ka'ba, Abu Jahl came and asked, "Who is that who is performing Tawaf?" Sad replied, "I am Sad." Abu Jahl said, "Are you circumambulating the Ka'ba safely although you have given refuge to Muhammad and his companions?" Sad said, "Yes," and they started quarreling. Umaiyya said to Sad, "Don't shout at Abi-l-Hakam (i.e. Abu Jahl), for he is chief of the valley (of Mecca)." Sad then said (to Abu Jahl). 'By Allah, if you prevent me from performing the Tawaf of the Ka'ba, I will spoil your trade with Sham." Umaiyya kept on saying to Sad, "Don't raise your voice." and kept on taking hold of him. Sad became furious and said, (to Umaiyya), "Be away from me, for I have heard Muhammad saying that he will kill you." Umaiiyya said, "Will he kill me?" Sad said, "Yes,." Umaiyya said, "By Allah! When Muhammad says a thing, he never tells a lie." Umaiyya went to his wife and said to her, "Do you know what my brother from Yathrib (i.e. Medina) has said to me?" She said, "What has he said?" He said, "He claims that he has heard Muhammad claiming that he will kill me."

She said, By Allah! Muhammad never tells a lie." So when the infidels started to proceed for Badar (Battle) and declared war (against the Muslims), his wife said to him, "Don't you remember what your brother from Yathrib told you?" Umaiyya decided not to go but Abu Jahl said to him, "You are from the nobles of the valley of Mecca), so you should accompany us for a day or two." He went with them and thus Allah got him killed.

(11) Usman missed Badar wife seriously sick

(14) CHAPTER. If the Imam sends some messenger to carry out a certain duty, or orders one to stay at home (by virtue of which he does not join the battle), will he be given a share from the booty

Bukhari Volume 4, Book 57, Number 3130:

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

'Uthman did not join the Badar battle because he was married to one of the daughters of Allah's Apostle (s) and she was ill. So, the Prophet (s) said to him. "You will get a reward and a share (from the war booty) similar to the reward and the share of one who has taken part in the Badar battle."

Wife rights look after – Preferred over Jihad

Bukhari Volume 3, Book 28, Number 1862:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet (s) said, "A woman should not travel except with a Dhu-Mahram (her husband or a man with whom that woman cannot marry at all according to the Islamic Jurisprudence), and no man may visit her except in the presence of a Dhu-Mahram." A man got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I intend to go to such and such an army and my wife wants to perform Hajj." The Prophet (s) said (to him), "Go along with her (to Hajj)."
