It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Miswar bin Makhramah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I said to Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him): "Dear uncle, tell me about your story on the day of Badr." He said: "Read from after the one hundred and twentieth verse of Surah Al Imran and you will find our story:" "And (remember) when you went out early in the morning from your household to post the believers at their stations for battle" [Al Imran: 121] up to "When two groups among you were about to lose courage" [Al Imran: 122]. He said: "They were those who sought a promise of safety from the polytheists." Then up to "And you used to wish for death before you met it; now you have seen it with your own eyes" [Al Imran: 143]. He said: "That refers to the believers wishing to meet (the enemy)." Then up to "When you were killing them by His permission" [Al Imran: 152].
