The Prophet's ﷺ dua on the night before the Battle of Badr

The Prophet ﷺ, while in a tent ˹on the day of the Battle of Badr˺ said,

"O Allah! I ask you the fulfillment of Your Covenant and Promise. O Allah! If You wish ˹to destroy the believers˺ You will never be worshipped after today."

Abu Bakr caught him by the hand and said, "This is sufficient, O Allah's Apostle! You have asked Allah pressingly." The Prophet ﷺ was clad in his armor at that time. He went out, saying to me: "Soon their large group will be destroyed and they will turn around ˹feeling˺. Besides this, the Hour ˹of Judgement˺ is their appointed time and that Hour will be more grievous and more bitter ˹than worldly defeat˺" (Qamar 54:45-46)

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهْوَ فِي قُبَّةٍ:

(اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ عَهْدَكَ وَوَعْدَكَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ شِئْتَ لَمْ تُعْبَدْ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ)

فَأَخَذَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ: حَسْبُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! فَقَدْ أَلْحَحْتَ عَلَى رَبِّكَ، وَهْوَ فِي الدِّرْعِ، فَخَرَجَ وَهْوَ يَقُولُ {سَيُهْزَمُ الْجَمْعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ الدُّبُرَ * بَلِ السَّاعَةُ مَوْعِدُهُمْ وَالسَّاعَةُ أَدْهَى وَأَمَرُّ}
