Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) urged his Companions to set out, and they proceeded until they reached Badr. There they encountered the watering camels of Quraysh, with which was a black slave belonging to Banu al-Hajjaj. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) seized him and began asking him, 'Where is Abu Sufyan?' He replied, 'By Allah, I have no knowledge regarding his affair, but this is Quraysh; Abu Jahl, 'Utbah and Shaybah, the two sons of Rabi'ah, and Umayyah ibn Khalaf have come with them.' Whenever he told them that, they beat him, so he would say, 'Leave me, leave me, I will inform you.' When they left him alone, he said, 'By Allah, I have no knowledge of Abu Sufyan, but this is Quraysh who have come; Abu Jahl, 'Utbah and Shaybah, the two sons of Rabi'ah, and Umayyah ibn Khalaf have come.' Meanwhile, the Prophet (ﷺ) was praying and hearing all of that. When he finished, he said, 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, you strike him when he tells you the truth, and you let him go when he lies to you! This is Quraysh who have come to defend Abu Sufyan.' Anas said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, 'This is the place where so-and-so will fall tomorrow,' placing his hand on the ground. 'And this is the place where so-and-so will fall tomorrow,' placing his hand on the ground. 'And this is the place where so-and-so will fall tomorrow,' placing his hand on the ground. Anas said, 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, none of them missed the exact spot of the hand of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).' Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave an order regarding them, and they were seized by their feet, dragged, and cast into the well of Badr.
