It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "When this blessed verse was revealed: 'The assembly will soon be defeated, and they will turn their backs' [Surah al-Qamar: 45], I kept saying (in wonder): Which band or army is it that will be defeated? Then, when the day of the Battle of Badr came and I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) leaping (with fervour) wearing armour, these very words were on his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed tongue: 'Soon this band will be defeated, and they will turn their backs and flee.' At that moment I realised that this day was the true fulfilment of the verse."
Ma'mar said: Ayyub also narrated the like of it to me by way of Ikrimah.
This report is munqati' (has a broken chain).
