Narrated Ibn Umar:
The Prophet stood at the well of Badr (which contained the corpses of the pagans) and said, “Have
you found true what your lord promised you?” Then he further said, “They now hear what I say.”
This was mentioned before ‘Aisha and she said, “But the Prophet said, ‘Now they know very well that
what I used to tell them was the truth.’ Then she recited (the Holy Verse):– “You cannot make the
dead hear… …till the end of Verse).” (30.52)

Narrated Anas:
Haritha was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and he was a young boy then. His mother
came to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You know how dear Haritha is to me. If he is in
Paradise, I shall remain patient, and hope for reward from Allah, but if it is not so, then you shall see
what I do?” He said, “May Allah be merciful to you! Have you lost your senses? Do you think there is
only one Paradise? There are many Paradises and your son is in the (most superior) Paradise of Al-
Firdaus.”

Allah’s Apostle sent me, Abu Marthad and Az-Zubair, and all of us were riding horses, and said,
“Go till you reach Raudat-Khakh where there is a pagan woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi
Balta’ a to the pagans of Mecca.” So we found her riding her camel at the place which Allah’s Apostle
had mentioned. We said (to her),”(Give us) the letter.” She said, “I have no letter.” Then we made her
camel kneel down and we searched her, but we found no letter. Then we said, “Allah’s Apostle had
not told us a lie, certainly. Take out the letter, otherwise we will strip you naked.” When she saw that
we were determined, she put her hand below her waist belt, for she had tied her cloak round her
waist, and she took out the letter, and we brought her to Allah’s Apostle Then ‘Umar said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! (This Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers! Let me cut off his neck!” The
Prophet asked Hatib, “What made you do this?” Hatib said, “By Allah, I did not intend to give up my
belief in Allah and His Apostle but I wanted to have some influence among the (Mecca) people so
that through it, Allah might protect my family and property. There is none of your companions but
has some of his relatives there through whom Allah protects his family and property.” The Prophet
said, “He has spoken the truth; do no say to him but good.” ‘Umar said, “He as betrayed Allah, His
Apostle and the faithful believers. Let me cut off his neck!” The Prophet said, “Is he not one of the
Badr warriors? May be Allah looked at the Badr warriors and said, ‘Do whatever you like, as I have
granted Paradise to you, or said, ‘I have forgiven you.”‘ On this, tears came out of Umar’s eyes, and he
said, “Allah and His Apostle know better.”
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 288:
Narrated Ibn Masud:
I witnessed Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad in a scene which would have been dearer to me than any –
thing had I been the hero of that scene. He (i.e. Al-Miqdad) came to the Prophet while the Prophet
was urging the Muslims to fight with the pagans. Al-Miqdad said, “We will not say as the People of
Moses said: Go you and your Lord and fight you two. (5.27). But we shall fight on your right and on
your left and in front of you and behind you.” I saw the face of the Prophet getting bright with hap –
piness, for that saying delighted him.

“These two opponents believers and disbelievers) Dispute with each other About their Lord.”
