mentioned separately at different places in various Ahadith of Bukhari Shareef. Some names have not been mentioned at all. If the names of the companions of Badr رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم are read and then supplications are made, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه they will be accepted. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 8, p. 567) Some knowers of Allah (saints) read litanies of the names of the companions of Badr رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 8, p. 573)

How were the companions of Badr رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم?

Sayyiduna Hasan Basri رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states: By Allah! I have met 70 companions of Badr رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم, and majority of them would wear clothes made from wool. Had you seen them, you’d think they were crazy. Had they seen your pious people they would say: ‘they have no share of goodness’. Had they seen your bad people, they would say: ‘it seems as if these people do not believe in the hereafter’. (Uyoon-ul-Hikayaat, vol. 1, pp. 32-33)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                  صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Did you hear how simple and humble the companions of Badr رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم were! But Alas both of these blessed qualities are disappearing from society and arrogance, pride, luxury and impermissible fashion is replacing them. Indeed these qualities are worthy of criticism. Therefore, if someone does have these habits in them then he should be fearful of Allah Almighty and he should make himself habitual of simplicity, humility and humbleness because the best of the world and the hereafter is achieved with the blessings of these qualities. Whereas, pride and arrogance are fatal for a person in the world and the hereafter.

An excellent way of freeing yourself of these bad habits is to watch or listen to the weekly Madani Muzakarah. In Ramadan this takes place twice daily. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, there is encouragement to watch and listen to the Madani Muzakarah in the ’72 Nayk A’maal’ booklet as well.
