@Hadithoftheday Battle of Badr.
Battle of Badr took place in 17th of Ramadan, two years after Prophet Muhammad ﷺ migrated to Madina.
Only 313 Muslims fought in Badr while disbelievers were 950-1000 in number.
14 companions were martyred and over 70 disbelievers were killed in battle of badr

@Hadithoftheday Angels helped the Muslims to achieve victory over disbelievers.
Allah says in Qur'an:
Indeed Allah assisted you at Badr when you were weak, so be careful (to your duty) to Allah so that you may be of the thankful ones. (3:123)

@Hadithoftheday In the thick of the battle, the Prophet ﷺ prayed to Allah, And Allah sent Angels to help Muslims in Badr.
In Surat Al-Anfal Allah says:
“When you asked for help from your Lord, He answered you. Indeed I will aid you with a thousand of the angels in rows behind rows.” (Quran,8:9)

@Hadithoftheday There is confusion between number of angels participated in Badr.Confusion is between 1000 or 5000 as both are mentioned in Quran
If you are steadfast & mindful of Allah,your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand swooping angels if the enemy should suddenly attack you (3:125

@Hadithoftheday Muslims were outnumbered by a ratio of 1:3. The Muslims were poorly-equipped and the Quraysh were well-equipped. Eminent companions such as Abu Bakr, Umar, Ali, Hamza, Mus`ab ibn `Umair, Az-Zubair bin Al-‘Awwam, Ammar ibn Yasir, and Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (R Anhum) took part.

@Hadithoftheday The bravery and skill of Muslim soldiers under the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the sight of so many angel struck terror in the enemies’ hearts. 70+ Kuffar in total were killed including their leader Abu Jahl. Seventy prisoners were taken by the Muslims.

@Hadithoftheday The prisoners were treated with kindness and some became Muslims. The rich prisoners paid ransom and were set free. Others were asked to gain their freedom by teaching 10 Muslims to read and write. The Battle of Badr strengthened the faith of the Muslims.

@Hadithoftheday Uthman R.A was unable to take part as he was instructed by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to take care of his sick wife Ruqayyah R.A who was also the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

@Hadithoftheday Ibn Umar narrates:Uthman did not join the Badr battle because he was married to one of the daughters of Prophet ﷺ & she was ill. So, the Prophet said to him,You will get a reward and share (from war booty) similar to the reward and the share of one who has taken part in the Badr
