He -saww said...
He -saww said: ‘This is the truth which will transpire after twenty-eight days from now, on the twenty ninth day. The Promise of Allah -azwj is Destined to happen and is a must’. Then Rasool Allah -saww said: ‘O group of Muslims and Jews, write down what you have just heard’. They said: ‘O Rasool Allah -saww , we have heard and our minds will not forget’. Rasool Allah -saww said: ‘Writing is preferable and a remembrance for you ‘. They said: ‘O Rasool Allah -saww !
And where is the ink and paper?’ Rasool Allah -saww said: ‘That is for the Angels’. Then he -saww said: ‘O Angels of my -saww Lord -azwj ! Write down what you have heard from this story on paper, and place a copy of this in the sleeves of each and every one of them’. Then Rasool Allah -saww said: O Group of Muslims! Shake your sleeves and take out what is in them and read from it’.
Each one of them look into their sleeves and found a parchment, read it, and found mentioned in it what Rasool Allah -saww had said correctly, not more and not less and not ahead of it nor left anything behind from it. Then Rasool Allah -saww said: ‘Put them back in your sleeves for these are proofs over you, and a matter of honour for the believers from among you and argumentative proof over the infidels’. These remained with them.
When the day of Badar came, the events all transpired in accordance with what Rasool Allah ‑saww had said would happen, not more and not less, and it was exactly as had been written down by the Angels, not more and not less. The Muslims accepted the apparent acceptance of the Jews and left their hidden beliefs to their Creator -azwj . The narrator of the Hadith says: ‘When the Cavalry lined up on the Day of Badar, Abu Jahl -la raised his hands and said, ‘O our gods!
We have severed our ties (of kinship), and they have come against us those whom we do not recognise (anymore), so let the punishment befall. So, Allah -azwj Revealed [70:1] A questioner, asked for the Punishment to befall ’. [20] Abu Ja’far -asws having said: ‘On the Day of Badar, Iblees -la used to belittle the Muslims in the eyes of the infidels, and magnify the infidels in the eyes of the Muslims.
So Jibraeel -as pulled the sword against him -la and Iblees -la fled from him -as , saying, ‘O Jibraeel -as , I -la have been Granted a term, I -la have been Granted a term’, until he -la ended up in the sea’.
