Participation in Battles

Hazrat Hilal (ra) had the honour of participating in the battles of Badr, Uhud and other later battles along with the Holy Prophet (sa). However, he was unable to participate in the Battle of Tabuk. Ibn Hisham has not included the name of Hazrat Hilal (ra) among the list of the Badri companions, he has given in his book. However, Bukhari has included him among the Badri companions in his Sahih al-Bukhari.
