Badr is a village where a fair was held every year. Nearly eighty miles from Medina, it lies close to the spot where the Syria-Medina route winds its way through difficult valleys. On the Messenger of Allah Image:Saws.gif set out with three hundred and five of his companions mounted on seventy camels, ‘Amr ibn Umm Maktum was assigned to lead the prayer whilst Abu Lubabah was left in charge of Madinah. They rode the camels in turn heading towards a caravan led by Abu Sufyan. As they marched on they sought news of the caravan until they had reached the valley of Dafran where they settled, and news reached them there that Quraysh had set out from Makkah to protect their caravan.

As they marched on they sought news of the caravan until they had reached the valley of Dafran where they settled, and news reached them there that Quraysh had set out from Makkah to protect their caravan. The whole affair then assumed different proportions for it was no longer simply a raid on a caravan, the question was whether to confront Quraysh or not.
