Muhammad had been stalking the caravan for several days when he discovered that the Meccans were coming to intercept them. He determined that the place of the battle would be Badr, and sent his forces ahead to secure the access to the water. The Meccans, discovering his camel turds, deduced that camels being fed by the dates of Medina where nearby. In the meantime, the Muslims, fearing for the lift of their prophet, built a booth for Muhammad and his animal and left an elite guard to protect his life. The Meccans advanced across a broad plain and were met by the Muslims. As was custom, the [[mubaarizuun]] or great warriors of both sides engaged each other in one-on-one combat. Three Muslims and three [[mushrikuun]] advanced to fight one another. All three polytheists fell in battle, while the Muslims suffered one wounded. | |||
