The victorious Muslims took much booty. The Muslim warrior who had stayed behind to guard Muhammad felt that it was unfair to allow the warriors who had adanvanced against the Meccans to keep all of the booty which had fallen into his hands, and according to the sira this prompted the revelation of [[surat al-anfal]]. Many prisoners were taken though many of them were also executed. Muhammad ordered that [[Abu Jahl]] be specifically found and executed. He was found almost dead and finished off. Several of the prisoners who had been harsh against Islam or were hated by the Muslims were executed. Muhammad stayed in Badr for three days after the battle and mocked the dead. When executing a prisoner who asked who would take care of his children, Muhammad's answer was simple: "hell." Some of the prisoners were ransomed back for alot of money to the Meccans. The Meccans were highly demoralized by the loss of so many of their great warriors. The faith of Muslims was restored thanks to the victory and the aide of the angels. His status was also raised in Medina thanks to the victory amongst the Jews and the unconverted Arabs. | |||
