On the night before the battle, the Prophet made a very long and intense du’aa’ to Allah. He was praying under a tree, crying until the sun rose. He was standing up, raising his hands, to the point that the cloth on his shoulders fell down: اللَّهُمَّ أَنشُدُكَ عَهدَكَ وَوَعْدَكَ, اللهُمَّ إِن شِئْتَ لَمْ تُعبَدْ “O Allah! I invoke You for Your promise (of victory). O Allah! If You decide (that we be defeated), You will not be worshipped!” He was saying this because these 300 people at Badr were the only Muslims on the face of the earth. So Abu Bakr came, picked up the cloth of the Prophet, put it back on his shoulders, and he held his hand and said: كَفَاكَ مُنَاشَدَتَكَ رَبُّكَ “Enough of this. Because Allah will surely fulfill His promise to you!”
