Описание:

- The battle was fought in 2AH (624).
- The Prophet (pbuh) and a group of around 300 men set off to intercept a caravan led by Abu Sufyan. They had 2 horses and 70 camels.
- Abu Sufyan sent word to the Quraysh and an army of 1300 men was gathered.
- Abu Sufyan slipped past the ambush and sent word to the Quraysh to go back but Abu Jahl insisted they continue; some left leaving 1000 soldiers.
- The Prophet (pbuh) consulted his companions and they went to meet the Quraysh army at Badr. It rained heavily that night.
- The Muslims camped near a water well.
- The next day the battle started and ‘Ali, Hamza and ‘Ubaidah went out to fight and won their duels (‘Ubaidah became the first martyr after losing his leg).
- The Makkans saw the Muslims as few in number while the Quraysh looked few in number to the Muslims.
- The Prophet (pbuh) prayed continuously for the success of the believers. God sent down angels to help (3:123–125).

> "And already had Allah given you victory at [the battle of] Badr while you were few in number. Then fear Allah; perhaps you will be grateful. [123] [Remember] when you said to the believers, "Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord should reinforce you with three thousand angels sent down? [124] Yes, if you remain patient and conscious of Allah and the enemy come upon you [attacking] in rage, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels having marks [of distinction] [125]" (3:123–125) (Surah Ali 'Imran, 3:123–125)

- The Prophet (pbuh) threw some dust which caused a sandstorm (sura 8:17).

> "And you did not kill them, but it was Allah who killed them. And you threw not, [O Muhammad], when you threw, but it was Allah who threw that He might test the believers with a good test. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing." (Surah al-Anfaal, 8:17)

- Eventually the Makkans ran off. Abu Jahl was killed.
- 14 Muslims were killed and 70 from the Quraysh while 70 were taken prisoner; the prisoners were treated well, and some paid a ransom for their freedom, by either paying money or teaching ten people how to read and write.
- Bilal is said to have killed his former master.
