Their multitude will be put to flight, and they will show their backs.

affirming that their gathering shall scatter, and they shall be defeated.

Al-Bukhari recorded that Ibn Abbas said,

"The Prophet, while in a dome-shaped tent on the day of the battle of Badr, said,

أَنْشُدُكَ عَهْدَكَ وَوَعْدَكَ

اللْهُمَّ إِنْ شِيْتَ لَمْ تُعْبَدْ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ فِي الاَْرْضِ أَبَدًا

O Allah! I ask you for the fulfillment of Your covenant and promise.

O Allah! If You wish (to destroy the believers), You will never be worshipped on the earth after today.

Abu Bakr caught him by the hand and said, `This is sufficient, O Allah's Messenger! You have sufficiently asked and petitioned Allah.'

The Prophet was clad in his armor at that time and went out, saying,

سَيُهْزَمُ الْجَمْعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ الدُّبُرَ

بَلِ السَّاعَةُ مَوْعِدُهُمْ وَالسَّاعَةُ أَدْهَى وَأَمَرُّ
