Where was Abu Talib during the Battle of Badr, with the Muslims or with the infidels, knowing that two of the Prophet's uncles were with the Muslims and one was with the infidels?
Among the Prophet's uncles (peace be upon him), Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him) attended the Battle of Badr with the Muslims. He played a role in the killing of Utbah and Shaybah, the sons of Rabi'ah, and Al-Waleed ibn Utbah. Ubaydah ibn al-Harith was wounded and later died from his injuries. As for Al-Abbas, he attended with the polytheists and was captured; he later embraced Islam and emigrated. Abu Lahab did not attend the battle himself but sent a substitute in his place. Abu Talib had passed away five years before Badr, in the Year of Sorrow. Therefore, among the Prophet's uncles (peace be upon him), only Hamzah and Al-Abbas attended Badr.
