{{Quote|Ishaq:357|Their leaders were left prostrate. Their heads were sliced off like melons. Many an adversary have I left on the ground to rise in pain, broken and plucked. When the battle was joined I dealt them a vicious blow. Their arteries cried aloud, their blood flowed.}}

:Who will send a messenger from me
:With news that a shrewd man will confirm?
:Do not you know how I kept returning to the fight at Badr
:When the swords flashed around you,
:When the army's leaders were left prostrate,
:their heads like slices of melon?
:A gloomy fate, to the people's hurt,
:Came upon you in the valley of Badr;
:My resolution saved them from disaster
:And God's help and a well-conceived plan.
:I returned alone from al-Abwa'
:When you were surrounded bv the enemy
:Helpless, if anyone attacked you
:Wounded and bleeding by the side of Kurash.
:Whenever a comrade in distress called
:For my aid in an evil day
:A brother or ally in such case,
:Much as I love my life I answered his call.
:I returned to the fray, dispelling gloom,
:And shot when faces showed hostility.
:Many an adversary have I left on the ground
:To rise painfully like a broken twig.
:When battle was joined I dealt him a blow
:That drew blood-his arteries murmured aloud:
:That is what I did on the day of Badr.
:Before that I was resourceful and steadfast,
:Your brother as you know in war and famine
:Whose evils are ever with us,
:Your champion undaunted by darkest night or superior numbers.
:Out into the bitter black might I plunged
:When the freezing wind forces dogs to shelter.}}


{{Quote|{{Tabari|7|p. 81}}|The next day I went to the Prophet. He was sitting with Abu Bakr, and they were weeping. I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, tell me, what has made you weep? If I find cause to weep, I will weep with you, and if not, I will pretend to weep because you are weeping.’ The Prophet said, ‘It is because of the taking of ransoms. It was laid before me that I should punish them instead.’ Allah revealed: ‘It is not for any Prophet to have captives until he has made slaughter in the land.’ After that Allah made booty lawful for them.}}
