The day of Badr: the lines, the duels and the victory
On the Friday of 17 Ramadan in the second year of the Hijra the two armies met at Badr; the Prophet ﷺ prayed to his Lord at the height of the fighting, the angels came down, God routed the Meccan army, and their chiefs fell after duels whose first were between Hamza, Ali and Ubayda and Utba, Shayba and al-Walid; Iblis fled in the form of Suraqa.
