Who were the companions chosen by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, to duel the Quraysh knights in the Battle of Badr after they refused to duel the young men of the Ansar and demanded "our equals from our people"?
The Companions chosen by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, for the duel on the Day of Badr were: Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib, Ali ibn Abi Talib, and Ubaydah ibn al-Harith. Ali ibn Abi Talib mentioned that Utbah ibn Rabi'ah requested someone to duel him, and when young men from the Ansar volunteered, he rejected them and asked for his cousins. So, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered Hamza, Ali, and Ubaydah ibn al-Harith to duel. Hamza duelled Utbah, Ali duelled Shaybah, and Ubaydah duelled al-Walid. Then, Ali and Hamza killed al-Walid after he and Ubaydah had wounded each other.
