Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh Salih, Honorable Shaykh Salih, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) stood, and the questioner says: He appealed to his Lord at Badr and made supplication, so Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “Enough for you of appealing to your Lord, O Messenger of Allah.” What is the meaning of this? Is this a continuation of the abundance of supplication?
Answer:
Yes, this was when the two armies met at Badr, and the polytheists were numerous while the Muslims were few. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was concerned with this matter and spent the night standing, making supplication to his Lord, asking Him to grant him and his companions victory. Allah responded to him and granted them victory despite their small number; they were three hundred and a few more, while the polytheists were twice their number, a thousand or more, a thousand or more. So by the supplications of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), Allah granted the Muslims victory over the disbelievers. They killed seventy of them and took seventy of them as prisoners, and they took from their wealth and weapons. This is the victory of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
