My friends, listen to me!

I have news from Mecca

everything you have left behind is gone

the Thieves! Abu Bakr's shops,

the prophet's house... sold

Every cup or piece of cloth,

every rag or bone

you ever owned is thrown on the market

You are a people of nothing.

Don't you even fight for what you own?

Who talks of the fight?

What other way is there, Hamza?

When the Prophet says Fight!,

we fight, now he says Peace!

Exactly

you are a peace loving people

up to your necks and fore bearers

go back to work!

We have to defend ourselves.

You are the Messenger of god.

Yet, they mock, abuse and plunder us and we do nothing

In the pathage of war, we are pathetic

But they are led by greed, we are

led by god and you

I know how you hate the sword, but

we have to fight

they've stolen our property, they are taking it to Damascus

right past our own door our door.

I say, by God turn back

I'm sorry I got carried away

Its pounding in my head

Please, fight them!

But look at the sun!

It's not the time of prayer

It is newly revealed by god to his messenger

Fight, but fight in the way of god

against those who fight against you

Drive them out of the places from where they drove you out,

for persecution is worse than slaughter

Fight them until persecution is no more

and religion is God,

but if they stop, let there be no more war

for god never loves the slaughters of wars

so, fight in the way of god

against those who fight against you

God is great!

God is great! God is great!

These are the disciplines that the Prophet

puts upon you

you may not harm a woman, a child or any old person!

you may not harm cripples

you may not harm the man that works in the field

You may not cut down trees

Strike only at those who have expelled you

who have stolen your rights and

riched themselves with your possession!

now, to the wells of Badr

News from Medina!

Arms... Arm yourself... Arm yourself...

defend your wealth

Muhammad has come out of Medina to attack the great caravan

- How many men?

-300 Two horses

- We have more than 100 horses

How many camels?

- 17

- We will bring 117

- And wine,

20 of mine with wine.. we will make a feast of it

That is a war I'd like to fight

a war we can not lose!

ride to Abu Sufian's caravan.

tell him to turn towards Badr

We will join forces tomorrow

near sources of Beder

Wells of Badr... here

Muhammad's march... here

my charge of the caravan.... here

One day's march...

meet them at the wells

I don't like it

There is too much of Mecca on my caravan to be risked

put out the fires...

hold the camels...

We are turning west, away from the wells

away?

you can't...

You must meet them at Badr

we can bring them down like raw eggs

- If I run all night, I'll be out of

Muhammad's reach by morning

Where is your honor, Abu Sufian?

Honor?

- My honor's on the backs of my camels

Yes, I run...

Muhammad has occupied the wells

- he has moved directly into our line of march

- Abu Sufian has broken camp

He's moving west, away from Badr

- The Caravan is safe

So, there is no need to fight

not fight?

- If we fight, we will start blood feuds between brothers

between father and son, you mean

Hudaifa, your own son is with them.

He should have been with....

Mecca is greater than your family

Walid, your second son.

he is your true blood

I say:
Fight! We stand in the present

and the future will look after itself

Utbah is not a coward

we will finish them tomorrow.

We fight! we fight!

are you finished?

All right! Take your positions!

Each man to his own place

Go back to your columns

move it. move back

So Muhammad's filled the wells

Now everyone will have to fight for this

we fight

Brothers! we hold the wells

we stand in the name of god and his messenger.

we wait

BATTLE OF BADR......

Send us your champions

Who are you?

we expect our peers and our equals

Come back!

Not you! Ubaida and I and Ali

There is only one God and

Muhammad is His messenger

Archers! Advance!

The Prophet is seeing you!

You are not to rob or try to perish this

And if a rogue does, cut him loose.

I said, cut them loose and give them water

and share your food, equal mouth-fulls.

And if they walk, walk beside them

Any prisoner who can teach 10 Muslims

to read will go free

Why don't they go away?

Because, they blame me Hind,

whatever it is, good or bad

I should have joined them

and drown in the wells of bitter with them

But, I saved the caravan and our future with it

The sing at me?

Why sing my father and my brother is not with me?

Do you think I need you to remind me?

Muhammad, Ali, Hamza!

With my nails, Hamza,

I will give you mesher and mesher, with my nails...

killer, cut throater, butcher

murdering beast, you slaughtered my father

Hamza! I will hunt, like a lion

I will make Hamza, my lion, my prey.

And when you are dead Hamza, I will cut your heart out,

taste the blood, cut in pieces

I forbit this weiling.

this cannot go on

What we should do, we will do

we will call in our allies,

lead the new one against them

This time, we will prepare it.

We'll plan it

Hamza!

come to prayer...
