Translation of Dr. Shams Jilani “Roshni Hira Say”
The killing of Abu Jahl and other chiefs, the victory of the Muslims and
some miracles that happened in the Battle of Badr
Section: 143
In the last session, we had discussed that after the war Prophet Muhammad
(Peace be upon him) identified the corpse of Abu Jahl & telling companions
that he can’t answer but able to listen me as the dead can listen. Here authors
gave his opinion that for those who say that the dead do not hear, if an evil
center like Abu Jahl can hear, then what about the those who were the beloved
friends of Almighty Allah, why you had doubt about this. So, lets continue after
this.
There has been another narrative that one of the companions said that he saw
a person who came out of the ground and struck a man on the head with a
hammer and he sank into the ground. The Prophet ﷺ said that the one who
came out of the earth was an angel and the one on whose head the hammer
was struck was Abu Jahl and it has been appointed for him to continue to
strike his head with the hammer. Other than this battle, there is another battle
in which so many incidents happened that is difficult to be accepted by the
human mind, but overall, the number of the miracles happened in battle of
Badr did not happen in any other battle. Both Ibn Hisham and Ibn Kathir (RA)
have narrated the above incident, but Ibn Kathir (RA) has also written about
the turning of wood into a sword, but there is a difference in the number. One
has two events here. And Ibn Hisham (RA) narrated only one incident that the
sword broke while fighting, so he came to the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon
him) and told him that my sword has broken, so the Holy Prophet Muhammad
ﷺ picked up a piece of wood and as soon as the wood came in his hand, it
has immediately become a sword.
