He (the bedouin again) said: Who raised these mountains and who created in them whatever is created there? He (the Holy Prophet (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ)) replied: Allah.

He (the Holy Prophet (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ)) said: Yes. He (the bedouin) said: Your messenger also told us that five prayers (had been made) obligatory for us during the day and the night. He (the Holy Prophet (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ)) remarked: He told you the truth. He (the bedouin) said: By Him Who sent you, is it Allah Who ordered you about this (i. e. prayers)?

People began to ask him permission for bringing their riding animals which were grazing on the hillocks near Madinah. He said: No. (I want) only those who have their riding animals ready. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and his Companions proceeded towards Badr and reached there forestalling the polytheists (of Makkah). When the polytheists (also) reached there, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: None of you should step forward to (do) anything unless I am ahead of him.
