Narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out towards Badr. A polytheist man also followed behind him and caught up with him at Jamrah. He said: I also wish to fight alongside you and obtain war booty. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: Do you believe in Allah and His Messenger? He said: No. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then go back, for indeed we do not seek help from any polytheist. But then he met the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) again at the tree. The noble companions were very pleased with him, because he was a strong and tough man. He said: I have come to fight alongside you and obtain war booty. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you believe in Allah and His Messenger? He said: No. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then go back, for indeed I never seek help from a polytheist. Then when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ascended to the place of Bayda, that same man met him again and said the same thing. But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you believe in Allah and His Messenger? He said: Yes. So this time the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took him along and proceeded.
