Hazrat Ja'far narrates from his father that the incident of Badr took place on a Friday, on the seventeenth of Ramadan.

Hazrat Amir bin Rabi’ah Badri narrates that the incident of Badr took place on Monday, the seventeenth of Ramadan.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah: The noble companions set out for Badr eleven nights before the rising of the moon.

Amr bin Shibah narrates that I asked Abu Bakr bin Abdur Rahman: On which night did the incident of Badr occur? He replied: On the night of Friday, and on the seventeenth of Ramadan.

Hazrat Aamir narrates that at (the place of) Badr, there was a well belonging to a man. That man's name was also Badr.

Hazrat Mujahid narrates that the angels fought only on the day of Badr.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq and I were told on the day of Badr that Gabriel is with one of you and Michael is with the other, and Israfil, the great angel, is also present in the battle. Or he said: He is also standing in the ranks.

Hazrat Muhammad bin Amr narrates from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out towards Badr, until when he reached the place of Rauha, he delivered a sermon to the people and asked, "What is your opinion, O people?" Hazrat Abu Bakr replied, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! We have received news that they are at such-and-such place and in such-and-such numbers." The narrator says, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again delivered a sermon to the people and asked, "What is your opinion?" So Hazrat Umar also replied in the same manner as Hazrat Abu Bakr. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon and asked, "What is your opinion?" So Hazrat Sa'd bin Mu'adh replied, "Do you mean us? By the One who has honored you and revealed the Book upon you, I have never walked this path before, nor do I have knowledge of it. But if you were to proceed to the place of Dhi Yaman, even as far as Bark Ghamad, we would certainly accompany you. And we will not be like those people among the Children of Israel who said to Musa: { اذْہَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّک فَقَاتِلاَ، إِنَّا ہَاہُنَا قَاعِدُونَ }. Rather, (we will say) you and your Lord go and fight, and we will be followers with you. And it may be that you set out for one purpose, and Allah brings about another matter for you. So you should see to the matter that Allah brings about for you, and you should fulfill that. So make ties with whom you wish, and sever ties with whom you wish, and make peace with whom you wish, and make enmity with whom you wish. And take from our wealth whatever you wish." Upon the words of Hazrat Sa'd, this Quranic verse was revealed: { کَمَا أَخْرَجَک رَبُّکَ مِنْ بَیْتِکَ بِالْحَقِّ، وَإِنَّ فَرِیقًا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ لَکَارِہُونَ سے لے کر وَیَقْطَعَ دَابِرَ الْکَافِرِینَ }. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to take the wealth present with Abu Sufyan as spoils of war, but Allah brought about the incident of battle for His Prophet.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when it was the day of Badr, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever does such and such will have such and such (reward). The narrator says: Upon hearing this, the young men began to show eagerness, and only the elderly remained under the banners. Then, when the spoils (were gathered), these young men came to take their (appointed) reward. The elders said: You are not more deserving than us, for we were your helpers and we were under the banners. If you had retreated, you would have retreated towards us. Thus, they began to dispute among themselves. So Allah Almighty revealed these verses, from { یَسْأَلُونَک عَنِ الأَنْفَالِ } to { وَأَطِیعُوا اللَّہَ وَرَسُولَہُ إِنْ کُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِینَ }.

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says in the explanation of the Quranic verse { سَیُہْزَمُ الْجَمْعُ }: This incident took place on the Day of Badr. The disbelievers said, "We are all united and victorious." Then this verse was revealed.
