The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Basbasah as a scout to observe what Abu Sufyan's caravan was doing. He came back when there was no one in the house except myself and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The narrator said, I do not know which of his wives he made an exception for. He related the news to him.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then went out and addressed the people, saying, "We have a target to pursue. Whoever has his mount ready, let him ride with us." Some men began asking his permission to fetch their mounts from the upper part of Madinah, but he said, "No, only those whose mounts are already present."So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out with his companions, and they reached Badr ahead of the polytheists. When the polytheists arrived, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Let none of you advance toward anything until I myself give the order."When the polytheists drew near, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Rise to a Paradise whose breadth is the heavens and the earth."Umayr bin al-Humam al-Ansari said, "Messenger of Allah, a Paradise whose breadth is the heavens and the earth?"He replied, "Yes."Umayr exclaimed, "Excellent, excellent!"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "What makes you say, 'Excellent, excellent'?"He answered, "Nothing, by Allah, Messenger of Allah, except the hope that I may be among its people."He said, "You are indeed among its people."Then Umayr took out some dates from his quiver and began to eat them. Then he said, "If I were to live long enough to finish eating these dates of mine, that would be a long life indeed." He then threw away the dates he had with him, fought them, and was killed.
