If this small band of Muslims were destroyed, Thou wilt never be worshipped again on this earth' (Bukhari).

On the day when they will be dragged into the Fire[2913] on their faces, it will be said to them, ‘Taste ye the touch of Hell.’
2913. The defeat at Badr was, indeed, a most formidable and calamitous misfortune for the Quraish. Their power and prestige sustained a crushing blow. Most of their leaders were killed and their dead bodies were dragged along and thrown into a pit. The Holy Prophet went up to its brink and, addressing the dead bodies is reported to have said, 'Have you found true what your Lord had promised you? I have, indeed, found true what my Lord had promised me' (Bukhari, Kitabul-Maghazi). The prophecy was fulfilled to the very letter. (close)

He further said: یا أھل القلیب بئس عشیرة النبی کنتم لنبیکم، کذبتمونی و صدقنی الناس و أخرجتمونی وآ وانی الناس و قاتلتمونی ونصرنی الناس i.e. "O fellows of the pit! you proved to be bad relatives of your Prophet.

4038. Commentary:
The verse purports to say that there is a determined measure for everything. It has an appointed time and place.

For the pagan Quraish, the Day of Badr was the appointed hour of punishment. (close)
