Information Regarding the Battle of Badr Question Detail:
which month did the battle of badr take place and what are the names of the sahabah who were martyred. Is it true if yu take their names and make Dua after that Duas are sure to be accepted?
Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The Battle of Badr took place on the 17th of Ramadhan in the second year of Hijrah.[1]
Out of the three hundred and thirteen Sahaba (radhiyAllahu ‘anhum) who participated in the Battle of Badr, fourteen were blessed with the rank of shuhadaa (martyred). Below are the names of those illustrious Sahaba (radhiyAllahu ‘anhum)[2]:
'Ubayda bin al-Harith al-Muttalabi
'Umayr bin Abi Waqqas al-Zuhri
Safwan bin Baydha
Dhush-shimaalayn ‘Umayr ibn 'Abdi 'Amr al-Kuzai’y
'Umayr bin al-Humam bin al-Jamooh al-Ansari
Mu’adh bin ‘Amr bin al-Jamooh al-Sulami (or) Mihja’ bin Salih[3]
Mu’awwidh bin ‘Afraa
‘Awf bin ‘Afraa
Haritha bin Suraqa bin al-Haritha bin ‘Adiyy bin al-Ansari
Yazid bin al-Harith bin al-Qays al-Kazraji
Rafi' bin al-Mu'alla al-Zurqiyy
Sa'd bin Khaythama al-Awsi
Mubashshir bin 'Abdi'l Mundhir
'Aaqil bin al-Bukayr
(RadhiyAllahu ‘anhum ajma’ieen)
It is mentioned in Seeratul Mustafa that by taking the names of those forty-four Sahaba (radhiyAllahu ‘anhum) who participated in the Battle of Badr which is recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari, one’s dua will surely be accepted as many ‘Ulama have witnessed this.[4]
One can generalize from the above mentioned statement that the same benefit may apply by taking the names of all three hundred and thirteen Sahaba (radhiyAllahu ‘anhum) who participated in the Battle of Badr.
Such actions are tried and tested and not based on any injunction of Shariah.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
