The Muslim army marched a little forward and encamped at the farther bank of the valley. Muhammad SAWS stopped at the nearest spring of Badr. Al Hubab Bin Mundhir asked him, "Has Allah inspired you to choose this very spot or is it strategy of war and the product of consultation?". Allah's messenger replied, "It is strategy of war and the product of consultation." Al Hubab said, "This place is no good, let us go and encamp at the nearest water well and make a basin or reservoir full of water, then destroy all the other wells so that they will be deprived of the water." The Prophet p.b.u.h approved of his plan and agreed to carry it out, which they conducted at midnight.
This was the night preceding Friday, Ramadan 17, the year 2.AH, and they had originally left for battle on the 8th or the 12th. The Prophet SAWS spent the whole night in prayer near a tree. The Muslim army, tired from their long march, enjoyed sound and refreshing sleep, a mark of the Divine favor and of the state of their undisturbed minds.
RAIN CAN PURIFY YOU, FREE YOU FROM SATAN'S WHISPERS, STRENGTHEN YOUR HEARTS!
