Summary
The Battle of Badr al-Kubra took place on 17 Ramadan in the 2nd year of the Hijrah. The Prophet SAW originally intended to intercept a Quraysh trade caravan rather than fight, but Quraysh marched out with about 1000 soldiers and fought 313 or 314 Muslims. The Muslims won, about 70 polytheists were killed including Abu Jahl, and about 70 were captured and later ransomed with wealth following Abu Bakr's suggestion, which the Prophet accepted. The battle is described as highly significant because it strengthened the Muslim position in Madinah and weakened Quraysh influence.
