That Al-Miqdad bin `Amr Al-Kindi, who was an ally of Bani Zuhra and one of those who fought the battle of Badr together with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) told him that he said to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), Suppose I met one of the infidels and we fought, and he struck one of my hands with his sword and cut it off and then took refuge in a tree and said, I surrender to Allah (i.e. I have become a Muslim),' could I kill him, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), after he had said this? Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, You should not kill him. Al- Miqdad said, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! But he had cut off one of my two hands, and then he had uttered those words? Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, You should not kill him, for if you kill him, he would be in your position where you had been before killing him, and you would be in his position where he had been before uttering those words.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said on the day of Badr, Who will go and see what has happened to Abu Jahl? Ibn Mas`ud went and saw him struck by the two sons of 'Afra and was on the point of death . Ibn Mas`ud said, Are you Abu Jahl? Abu Jahl replied, Can there be a man more superior to the one whom you have killed (or as Sulaiman said, or his own folk have killed.)? Abu Jahl added, Would that I had been killed by other than a mere farmer.

`Umar said, When the Prophet (ﷺ) died I said to Abu Bakr, 'Let us go to our Ansari brethren.' We met two pious men from them, who had fought in the battle of Badr. When I mentioned this to `Urwa bin Az-Zubair, he said, Those two pious men were 'Uwaim bin Sa`ida and Manbin Adi.

The Badr warriors were given five thousand (Dirhams) each, yearly. `Umar said, I will surely give them more than what I will give to others.

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) reciting Surat-at-Tur in Maghrib prayer, and that was at a time when belief was first planted in my heart. The Prophet (ﷺ) while speaking about the war prisoners of Badr, said, Were Al-Mutim bin Adi alive and interceded with me for these filthy people, I would definitely forgive them for his sake.

When the first civil strife (in Islam) took place because of the murder of 'Uthman, it left none of the Badr warriors alive. When the second civil strife, that is the battle of Al-Harra, took place, it left none of the Hudaibiya treaty companions alive. Then the third civil strife took place and it did not subside till it had exhausted all the strength of the people.

I heard Az-Zuhri saying, I heard `Urwa bin Az-Zubair. Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab, 'Alqama bin Waqqas and 'Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah each narrating part of the narrative concerning `Aisha the wife of the Prophet. `Aisha said: When I and Um Mistah were returning, Um Mistah stumbled by treading on the end of her robe, and on that she said, 'May Mistah be ruined.' I said, 'You have said a bad thing, you curse a man who took part in the battle of Badr!. Az-Zuhri then narrated the narration of the Lie (forged against `Aisha).

These were the battles of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (which he fought), and while mentioning (the Badr battle) he said, While the corpses of the pagans were being thrown into the well, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to them), 'Have you found what your Lord promised true? `Abdullah said, Some of the Prophet's companions said, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You are addressing dead people.' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, 'You do not hear what I am saying, better than they.' The total number of Muslim fighters from Quraish who fought in the battle of Badr and were given their share of the booty, were 81 men. Az-Zubair said, When their shares were distributed, their number was 101 men. But Allah knows it better.

On the day of Badr, (Quraishi) Emigrants received 100 shares of the war booty.
