Sahih Muslim 1817 (Book 32, Hadith 182) #11810
Belief in Allah and His Messenger

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) refused to accept help from a polytheist and only accepted help from someone who believed in Allah and His Messenger.

It has been narrated on the authority of A'isha, wife of the Prophet , who said: The Messenger of Allah set out for Badr. When he reached Harrat-ul-Wabara (a place four miles from Medina) a man met him who was known for his valour and courage. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah were pleased to see him. He said: I have come so that I may follow you and get a share from the booty. The Messenger of Allah said to him: Do you believe in Allah and His Apostle? He said: #The Messenger of Allah said: Go back, I will not seek help from a Mushrik (polytheist). He went on until we reached Shajara, where the man met him again. He asked him the same question again and the man gave him the same answer. He said: Go back. Im will not seek help from a Mushrik. The man returned and overtook him at Baida'? He asked him as he had asked previously: Do you believe in Allah and His Apostle? The man said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah said to him: Then come along with us.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of believing in Allah and His Messenger. It was narrated by A'isha, wife of the Prophet ﷺ, that when they were on their way to Badr, a man met them who was known for his courage. He asked if he could join them so he could get a share of the booty but the Prophet ﷺ asked him if he believed in Allah and His Messenger. When he said no, the Prophet refused his offer for help. The man then asked again at two other places but still received no answer until they reached Baida', where this time when he asked again if he believed in Allah and His Messenger, this time he said yes so then the prophet allowed him to join them. This hadith teaches us that it is important to believe in both Allah and His messenger as it is an essential part of being Muslim. It also shows us how important it is not to associate with those who do not believe as we should be careful not to be influenced by their beliefs or actions which may lead us astray from our faith.
