4281. It was narrated from Hafsah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "I hope that no one of those who witnessed (the battle of) Badr and (Treaty) Hudaybiyah will enter Hell, if Allāh wills." I said: "O Messenger of Allāh, doesn't Allāh say "There is not one of you but will pass over it (Hell); this is with your Lord, a decree which must be accomplished."[1]" He said: "Have you not heard that He says: "Then We shall save those who use to fear Allāh and were dutiful to Him. And We shall leave the wrongdoers therein (humbled) to their knees (in Hell)."[2]"

Commentary
a. During the life of the Messenger ﷺ, the battle of Badr was the first battle that took place between disbelief and Islam. The Companions who participated in this battle were more superior than others. They were granted the good news of entering Paradise. According to the popular view, the number of these Companions was three hundred and thirteen.
b. The Prophet ﷺ, took the pledge from his Companions to avenge the blood of 'Uthman ﷺ. This pledge was called "Bai'tur-Ridwân" (pledge of contentment). The Companions who participated in this pledged will also enter Paradise.
c. Everyone has to cross the Bridge over Hell. Sincere and true believers will cross it without any trouble, but sinful believers will fall into Hell. However, they will be rescued thereafter step by step through the intercession of Prophets, pious people, martyrs, Huffâz (who memorize whole Qur'ân and follow it).
d. The wrongdoers in the mentioned Verse refer to non-believers and pure hypocrites who will stay in Hell forever.
