Explanation
Katheeb al-Hannan is the sand mountain where the Holy Prophet and the Sahabah first stayed when they arrived at Badr. The Prophet (PBUH)) spent the whole night here asking Allah for His help. The Muslims arrived here on a Thursday night, on the eve of the battle. The Prophet (PBUH)) spent the whole night preceding the day of the battle in prayer and supplication at the foot of a tree. A gentle rain fell and lulled the men, weary after their long march, into a refreshing sleep.
