It is narrated from Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: I hope that none of those who participated in Badr and Hudaybiyyah will, insha’Allah, enter Hell. Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I said: Is it not that Allah Almighty has said: {وَاِنْ مِنْکُمْ اِلَّا وَارِدُھَا} … And there is none of you except he will come to it (Hell)? She says: Then I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) recite further: {ثُمَّ نُنْجِی الَّذِیْنَ اتَّقَوْا وَنَذَرُ الظَّالِمِیْنَ فِیْہَا جِثِیَّا} … Then We will save those who feared Allah, and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of Hudaybiyyah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) ordered that no fire should be lit at night (so that the enemy would not estimate our numbers). Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) says that later, when the situation became peaceful, the Prophet gave general permission that whenever you wish, you may light a fire and prepare food. Indeed, the reality is that no nation after you will be able to reach your sa' and mudd.

It is narrated from Bilal Absi that Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The tents that were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at Badr—where are such tents now? The honor and status of the people of Badr cannot be attained by the people of any other tents. Whoever intended evil against the people of Badr, Allah seized him in such a way that he remained trapped in it.
