Who killed Walid bin Utbah in the Battle of Badr?

Explanation

The Battle of Badr began with three duels from the Quraysh side: Utbah bin Rabiah, his son Walid bin Utbah, and his brother Shaiba bin Rabiah. From the Muslim side, Hazrat Ali (R.A), Hazrat Hamza (R.A), and Hazrat Ubaidah bin Harith (R.A) stepped forward. Hazrat Ali (R.A) faced Walid bin Utbah and killed him swiftly, while Hazrat Hamza (R.A) killed Utbah, and Hazrat Ubaidah (R.A) was martyred after killing Shaiba with the help of his two companions.

Good to know

Before the main battle of Badr commenced, the Quraysh challenged the Muslims to individual combat. Three warriors from Quraysh — Utbah, Walid, and Shaiba — stepped out. The Prophet (PBUH) sent three of his own family members: Hazrat Hamza (R.A), Hazrat Ali (R.A), and Hazrat Ubaidah bin Harith (R.A). All three Quraysh champions were defeated, giving the Muslims a significant morale boost before the full engagement began.
