عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ قَالَ نَظَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ وَهُمْ ثَلَاثُ مِائَةٍ وَنَيِّفٌ وَنَظَرَ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَإِذَا هُمْ أَلْفٌ وَزِيَادَةٌ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْقِبْلَةَ ثُمَّ مَدَّ يَدَهُ وَعَلَيْهِ رِدَاؤُهُ وَإِزَارُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَيْنَ مَا وَعَدْتَنِي اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِزْ مَا وَعَدْتَنِي اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ تُهْلِكْ هَذِهِ الْعِصَابَةَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَلَا تُعْبَدْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَبَدًا قَالَ فَمَا زَالَ يَسْتَغِيثُ رَبَّهُ وَيَدْعُوهُ حَتَّى سَقَطَ رِدَاؤُهُ فَأَتَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَأَخَذَ رِدَاءَهُ فَرَدَّاهُ ثُمَّ الْتَزَمَهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ كَفَاكَ مُنَاشَدَتُكَ رَبَّكَ فَإِنَّهُ سَيُنْجِزُ لَكَ مَا وَعَدَكَ وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِذْ تَسْتَغِيثُونَ رَبَّكُمْ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ أَنِّي مُمِدُّكُمْ بِأَلْفٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مُرْدِفِينَ [سورة الأنفال: ٩] فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَالْتَقَوْا فَهَزَمَ اللَّهُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقُتِلَ مِنْهُمْ سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا وَأُسِرَ مِنْهُمْ سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of Badr, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked towards his companions, and they were a little over three hundred. Then he looked towards the polytheists, and they were a little over one thousand. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards the Qiblah and raised his hands. He was wearing a waist-wrapper and had a cloak draped over him. Then he supplicated: “My Allah! Where is the help You promised me? O my Allah! Fulfill what You have promised me. O my Allah! If this group of Muslims is destroyed, then You will never be worshipped on the earth.” He continued to seek help from his Lord and called upon Him until his cloak fell off. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came forward, picked up the cloak, and placed it over him, and clung to him from behind and then said: “O Prophet of Allah! The supplication you have made to your Lord is sufficient for you. Allah will fulfill what He has promised you.” At that time, Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: {إِذْ تَسْتَغِیثُوْنَ رَبَّکُمْ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَکُمْ أَ نِّی مُمِدُّکُمْ بِأَلْفٍ مِنْ الْمَلَائِکَۃِ مُرْدِفِینَ۔} … “When you were seeking help from your Lord, so He responded to you and said: ‘I am going to reinforce you with a thousand angels, one following the other.’” Then, when the battle took place that day, Allah the Exalted defeated the polytheists. Seventy (70) of them were killed and seventy (70) were taken captive.
