0:23 May Allah preserve him.

0:25 The defeat of the disbelievers.

0:31 Allah, Glory be to Him, sent down His victory to His Messenger,

0:34 peace be upon him, and to the believers.

0:37 He enabled them to overcome the polytheists, taking them captive and slaying them.

0:41 They killed seventy of them and took seventy captive.

0:45 Imam al-Bukhari recorded in his Sahih,

0:48 on the authority of al-Bara' Ibn 'Azib, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

0:52 The Prophet, peace be upon him, and his Companions

0:56 captured from the polytheists on the day of Badr

0:59 one hundred and forty.

1:01 Seventy were captives and seventy were slain.

1:04 Imam Muslim recorded in his Sahih,

1:08 on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

1:12 They killed seventy that day and took seventy captive.

1:16 Al-Hafiz said in al-Fath:

1:19 This is the correct account regarding the number of the slain.

1:22 Among those killed from the polytheists

1:25 whom the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, named, were:

1:29 Abu Jahl—who is Abu al-Hakam 'Umar Ibn Hisham—

1:33 'Utbah and Shaybah, the sons of Rabi'ah,

1:36 al-Walid Ibn 'Utbah, and Umayyah Ibn Khalaf,

1:40 among other leaders of disbelief.

1:45 The Prophet, peace be upon him, standing

1:49 over the slain disbelievers.

1:52 Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, ordered

1:55 the disposal of the slain disbelievers.

1:57 They were dragged to one of the pits of Badr

2:00 and cast into it.

2:02 Imam al-Bukhari recorded in his Sahih,

2:05 on the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him,

2:07 from Abu Talhah, may Allah be pleased with him,

2:10 that the Prophet of Allah, peace be upon him,

2:13 ordered on the day of Badr that twenty-four

2:16 men from the leaders of Quraysh

2:19 be cast into one of the wells of Badr,

2:22 a foul and filthy place.

2:24 A 'tawi' is a well that has been lined and built with stones

2:28 so that it remains stable and does not collapse.

2:30 Whenever he was victorious over a people,

2:32 he would stay on the battlefield for three nights.

2:35 When he was at Badr on the third day,

2:38 he ordered his mount to be saddled.

2:42 Then he walked, and his Companions followed him,

2:45 saying, "We do not see him leaving except for some need of his."

2:49 He stood at the edge of the well,

2:52 meaning the side of the well,

2:54 and began calling them by their names and the names of their fathers:

2:58 "O so-and-so, son of so-and-so!"

3:00 "O so-and-so, son of so-and-so!"

3:03 "Would it have pleased you to have obeyed Allah and His Messenger?

3:07 For we have found what our Lord promised us to be true."

3:11 “And the dwellers of the Garden cry unto the dwellers of the Fire: We have found that which our Lord promised us (to be) the Truth. Have ye (too) found that which your Lord promised the Truth? They say: Yea, verily. And a crier in between them crieth: The curse of Allah is on evil-doers,” (7:44)

3:15 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said:

3:17 "O Messenger of Allah,

3:19 why do you speak to bodies that have no souls?"

3:23 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, replied:

3:26 "By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad,

3:29 you are no more able to hear what I say than they are."

3:33 Qatadah said:

3:35 Allah brought them to life so that they could hear his words,

3:38 as a rebuke and a belittlement,

3:40 and as a source of vengeance, grief, and regret.

3:43 Imam Muslim recorded in his Sahih,

3:46 on the authority of Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him,

3:49 that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

3:52 left the slain of Badr for three days,

3:55 then he came to them,

3:57 stood over them, called out to them, and said:

4:00 "O Abu Jahl Ibn Hisham!

4:03 O Umayyah Ibn Khalaf!

4:05 O 'Utbah Ibn Rabi'ah!

4:07 O Shaybah Ibn Rabi'ah!

4:09 Have you not found what your Lord promised you to be true?

4:13 For I have found what my Lord promised me to be true."

4:17 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, heard

4:20 the words of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

4:23 and said, "O Messenger of Allah,

4:25 how can they hear,

4:27 and how can they answer when they have decomposed?"

4:30 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

4:34 "By Him in Whose hand is my soul,

4:36 you are no more able to hear what I say than they are,

4:39 but they are unable to answer."

4:43 The number of Muslim martyrs.

4:47 There were martyred from the noble Companions, may Allah be pleased with them,

4:52 in the Great Battle of Badr

4:54 fourteen men:

4:56 six from the Emigrants (Muhajirun),

4:59 six from the Khazraj,

5:01 and two from the Aws.

5:03 Bringing the good news to the people of Medina.

5:07 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sent

5:11 his freedman Zayd Ibn Harithah, may Allah be pleased with him,

5:15 and 'Abdullah Ibn Rawahah

5:17 with the good news to the people of Medina.

5:19 Al-Hakim recorded in al-Mustadrak,

5:22 and al-Bayhaqi in Dala'il al-Nubuwwah,

5:25 with a chain of narration that is hasan li-ghayrihi (sound due to supporting evidence),

5:27 on the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn Abi Bakr Ibn Hazm

5:30 and Salih Ibn Abi Umamah Ibn Sahl Ibn Hunayf,

5:33 who said:

5:34 When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, finished at Badr,

5:39 he sent two messengers to the people of Medina.

5:42 He sent Zayd Ibn Harithah to the people of the lower part of Medina,

5:46 and he sent 'Abdullah Ibn Rawahah, may Allah be pleased with him, to the people of the upper part.

5:51 They brought them the good news of the victory Allah granted His Messenger, peace be upon him.

5:56 Zayd Ibn Harithah encountered his son Usamah

6:00 while he was preparing the grave of Ruqayyah, daughter of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

6:05 It was said to him,

6:07 "That is your father who has just arrived."

6:09 Usamah said:

6:11 "I went to him while he was standing before the people saying:

6:15 'Utbah Ibn Rabi'ah has been killed,

6:18 and Shaybah Ibn Rabi'ah,

6:20 and Abu Jahl Ibn Hisham,

6:22 and Nabih and Munabbih,

6:24 and Umayyah Ibn Khalaf.'

6:26 I said, 'O father, is it true?'

6:29 He said, 'Yes, by Allah, my son.'"

6:34 The return of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

6:38 to Medina with the captives.

6:41 Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

6:45 and his noble Companions departed for the Prophetic city of Medina,

6:48 supported and victorious,

6:50 his eyes comforted by the victory Allah granted him,

6:53 with the captives and the spoils of war in his possession.

6:56 He entered Medina, and every enemy of his in Medina and its surroundings feared him.

7:02 Many people of Medina then embraced Islam.

7:06 It was then that 'Abdullah Ibn Ubayy the hypocrite

7:09 and his followers entered into Islam outwardly.

7:12 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, finished

7:15 the affair of Badr and the captives in Shawwal.

7:19 Musa Ibn 'Uqbah said:

7:21 Allah humbled the necks of the polytheists and hypocrites through the Battle of Badr.

7:26 There remained no hypocrite or Jew in Medina

7:30 but that his neck was bowed in submission

7:33 because of the Battle of Badr.

7:34 That was the Day of Criterion (Yawm al-Furqan),

7:37 the day Allah distinguished between polytheism and faith.

7:41 The revelation of Surah al-Anfal.

7:46 Ibn Ishaq said:

7:48 When the affair of Badr concluded,

7:50 Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, revealed the entirety of Surah al-Anfal regarding it.

7:56 Imam al-Bukhari recorded in his Sahih,

7:59 on the authority of Sa'id Ibn Jubayr, who said:

8:02 I said to Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both,

8:05 "Surah al-Anfal?"

8:07 He said:

8:08 "It was revealed regarding Badr."

8:10 And in another wording in Sahih Muslim,

8:13 Sa'id Ibn Jubayr said:

8:15 I said to Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both,

8:18 "Surah al-Anfal?"

8:20 He said:

8:22 "That is the Surah of Badr."

8:24 Imam al-Suhayli said:

8:26 Al-Anfal refers to the spoils of war.

8:29 A Concise Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

8:33 If the longing of the worlds for some of their own is long,

8:39 the longing for you, O Messenger, has no bounds.

8:46 May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,

8:53 and as long as lips move in remembrance.
