Narrated ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Auf:
“I had an agreement with Umaiya bin Khalaf (that he would look after my relatives and property
in Mecca, and I would look after his relatives and property in Medina).” ‘Abdur-Rahman then men –
tioned the killing of Umaiya and his son on the day of Badr, and Bilal said, “Woe to me if Umaiya re –

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 311:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
The Prophet recited Surat-an-Najm and then prostrated himself, and all who were with him pros –
trated too. But an old man took a handful of dust and touched his forehead with it saying, “This is
sufficient for me.” Later on I saw him killed as an infidel.
Narrated ‘Urwa (the son of Az- Zubair): Az-Zubair had three scars caused by the sword, one of
which was over his shoulder and I used to insert my fingers in it. He received two of those wounds
on the day of Badr and one on the day of Al-Yarmuk. When ‘Abdullah bin Zubair was killed, ‘Abdul-
Malik bin Marwan said to me, “O ‘Urwa, do you recognize the sword of Az-Zubair?” I said, “Yes.” He
said, “What marks does it have?” I replied, “It has a dent in its sharp edge which was caused in it on
the day of Badr.” ‘Abdul- Malik said, “You are right! (i.e. their swords) have dents because of clashing
with the regiments of the enemies Then ‘Abdul-Malik returned that sword to me (i.e. Urwa).
(Hisham, ‘Urwa’s son said, “We estimated the price of the sword as three-thousand (Dinars) and after
that it was taken by one of us (i.e. the inheritors) and I wish I could have had it.”)

That his father said, “The sword of Az-Zubair was decorated with silver.” Hisham added, “The
sword of ‘Urwa was (also) decorated with silver. “
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 313:
Narrated ‘Urwa:
On the day of (the battle) of Al-Yarmuk, the companions of Allah’s Apostle said to Az-Zubair,
“Will you attack the enemy so that we shall attack them with you?” Az-Zubair replied, “If I attack
them, you people would not support me.” They said, “No, we will support you.” So Az-Zubair attacked
them (i.e. Byzantine) and pierced through their lines, and went beyond them and none of his com –
panions was with him. Then he returned and the enemy got hold of the bridle of his (horse) and
struck him two blows (with the sword) on his shoulder. Between these two wounds there was a scar
caused by a blow, he had received on the day of Badr (battle). When I was a child I used to play with
those scars by putting my fingers in them. On that day (my brother) “Abdullah bin Az-Zubair was
also with him and he was ten years old. Az-Zubair had carried him on a horse and let him to the
care of some men.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 314:
Narrated Abu Talha:
On the day of Badr, the Prophet ordered that the corpses of twenty four leaders of Quraish should
be thrown into one of the dirty dry wells of Badr. (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 Badr, he ordered that his she-camel be saddled, then he set out, and his companions fol –
lowed him saying among themselves.” “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.”)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 315:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
regarding the Statement of Allah:–“Those who have changed Allah’s Blessings for disbelief…”
(14.28) The people meant here by Allah, are the infidels of Quraish. (‘Amr, a sub-narrator said,
Volume 5 – 938 / 1700
SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 5 > BOOK 59: MILITARY EXPEDITIONS LED BY THE PROPHET (PBUH) (AL-MAGHAAZI)
“Those are (the infidels of) Quraish and Muhammad is Allah’s Blessing. Regarding Allah’s
Statement:”..and have led their people Into the house of destruction? (14.29) Ibn ‘Abbas said, “It
means the Fire they will suffer from (after their death) on the day of Badr.”
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 316:
Narrated Hisham’s father:
It was mentioned before ‘Aisha that Ibn ‘Umar attributed the following statement to the Prophet
“The dead person is punished in the grave because of the crying and lamentation Of his family.” On
that, ‘Aisha said, “But Allah’s Apostle said, ‘The dead person is punished for his crimes and sins while
his family cry over him then.” She added, “And this is similar to the statement of Allah’s Apostle when
he stood by the (edge of the) well which contained the corpses of the pagans killed at Badr, ‘They
hear what I say.’ She added, “But he said now they know very well what I used to tell them was the
truth.” ‘Aisha then recited: ‘You cannot make the dead hear.’ (30.52) and ‘You cannot make those
who are in their Graves, hear you.’ (35.22) that is, when they had taken their places in the (Hell) Fire.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 317:
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)
