Those who participated in this battle alongside the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) were known as Ahl al-Badr and were of a special status according to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and the Muslims in the early phase of Islam. "One Friday, the Most Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was sitting in the mosque and due to the large number of people present, there was not much space.
At that point, a group from amongst Ahl al-Badr, including Thabit ibn Qays, entered the gathering and stood in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), looking at the crowd of people sitting around him. None of them would make room for them.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) told a number of the Migrants (Muhajirin) and the Helpers (Ansar) who were sitting close to him (who were not present at the Battle of Badr) to get up and allow the Ahl al-Badr to sit in their place. This was difficult for the people who the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) told to get up and dissatisfaction was written on their faces.
One of the hypocrites (munafiqin) seeking to take advantage of the situation said to the Muslims, 'Do you consider your prophet to be just in dealing with people? Then how is it that he did not implement justice in this situation? Certain individuals had arrived sooner and taken a seat for themselves.
They wanted to sit close to their prophet and then he made them get up and seated those who came later in their place.'" [^6] The honor and respect the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) showed towards Ahl al-Badr demonstrated the valued position of those who fought for God's cause and the reverence given to eminent values in the society.
After this event, a verse was revealed that endorsed the Prophet's action, "O you who believe, if you are told to make room in social gatherings, then make room. (As a result) God will make room for you. And if you are told to get up, then get up." [^7] The Prophet honored martyrs and the family of martyrs: "In the eighth year after his migration to Madinah, in the event of the Battle of Mutah , Ja'far ibn Abi Talib was entrusted with command of the Muslim army.
They fought a difficult war against the enemy and both of Ja'far's hands were cut off and his body was inflicted with numerous wounds.
