Anas bin Malik reported,

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ consulted the people on the day of Badr. Abu Bakr spoke, but he turned away from him. Then Umar spoke, and he turned away from him as well.The Ansar then said, "Messenger of Allah, is it us you mean?"Miqdad bin Aswad said, "Messenger of Allah, by the One in whose hand my soul rests, if you ordered us to plunge our horses into the sea, we would plunge them in. If you ordered us to drive them all the way to Birk al-Ghimad, we would do it. So go forth as you wish, Messenger of Allah."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then called his companions to set out, and he traveled until he camped at Badr. The water-carriers of Quraysh came, and among them was a black slave-boy belonging to the Banu Hajjaj. The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seized him and questioned him about Abu Sufyan and his men.He said, "I know nothing about Abu Sufyan, but Quraysh have come, along with Abu Jahl and Umaya bin Khalaf."So they began to beat him. When they beat him, he would say, "Yes, this is Abu Sufyan." When they let him be and asked him again about Abu Sufyan, he would say, "I have no knowledge of Abu Sufyan, but Quraysh have come."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was praying at the time. When he finished, he said, "You beat him when he tells you the truth, and you leave him alone when he lies to you."Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured with his hand, placing it on the ground, and said, "This is where so-and-so will fall tomorrow, and this is where so-and-so will fall tomorrow, if Allah wills."They met in battle, and Allah defeated them. By Allah, not one of them was moved from the very spot the Prophet's ﷺ hand had marked.Three days later, the Prophet ﷺ went out to them after their bodies had begun to rot. He called out, "Abu Jahl. Utba. Shayba. Umaya. Have you found what your Lord promised you to be true? For I have found what my Lord promised me to be true."Umar said to him, "Messenger of Allah, you call out to them after three days, when they have already rotted?"He replied, "You do not hear what I say any better than they do, except that they cannot answer."He then ordered that they be dragged by their feet and cast into the well of Badr.

حدثنا عبد الصمد حدثنا حماد عن ثابت

عن أنس

أن رسول الله ﷺ شاور الناس يوم بدر فتكلم أبو بكر فأعرض عنه ثم تكلم عمر فأعرض عنه فقالت الأنصار يا رسول الله إيانا تريد فقال المقداد بن الأسود يا رسول الله والذي نفسي بيده لو أمرتنا أن نخيضها البحر لأخضناها ولو أمرتنا أن نضرب أكبادها إلى برك الغماد فعلنا فشأنك يا رسول الله فندب رسول الله ﷺ أصحابه فانطلق حتى نزل بدرا وجاءت روايا قريش وفيهم غلام لبني الحجاج أسود فأخذه أصحاب رسول الله ﷺ فسألوه عن أبي سفيان وأصحابه فقال أما أبو سفيان فليس لي به علم ولكن هذه قريش وأبو جهل وأمية بن خلف قد جاءت فيضربونه فإذا ضربوه قال نعم هذا أبو سفيان فإذا تركوه فسألوه عن أبي سفيان قال ما لي بأبي سفيان من علم ولكن هذه قريش قد جاءت ورسول الله ﷺ يصلي فانصرف فقال إنكم لتضربونه إذا صدقكم وتدعونه إذا كذبكم وقال رسول الله ﷺ بيده فوضعها فقال هذا مصرع فلان غدا وهذا مصرع فلان غدا إن شاء الله تعالى فالتقوا فهزمهم الله عز وجل فوالله ما أماط رجل منهم عن موضع كفي النبي ﷺ قال فخرج إليهم النبي ﷺ بعد ثلاثة أيام وقد جيفوا فقال يا أبا جهل يا عتبة يا شيبة يا أمية قد وجدتم ما وعدكم ربكم حقا فإني قد وجدت ما وعدني ربي حقا فقال له عمر يا رسول الله تدعوهم بعد ثلاثة أيام وقد جيفوا فقال ما أنتم بأسمع لما أقول منهم غير أنهم لا يستطيعون جوابا فأمر بهم فجروا بأرجلهم فألقوا في قليب بدر
