Biography
During the civil war between the two Buyid brothers Adud al-Dawla ({{reign|949|983}}) and Izz al-Dawla ({{reign|967|978}}), Hasanwayh had supported the latter. Following the death of Hasanwayh in 979, Adud al-Dawla invaded his territories, executed some of his sons, and installed Badr on the Hasanwayhid throne as his deputy over the neighbouring Kurdish territories.{{sfn|Bürgel|Mottahedeh|1988|pp=269–269}}{{sfn|Bosworth|1975|p=270}} Following the death of Adud al-Dawla in 983, Badr showed his gratitude to him by having twenty men sent to on an annual pilgrimage to Mecca in the name of Adud al-Dawla (as well as Badr's parents).{{sfn|Tor|2017|p=65}} Like Adud al-Dawla, historians portray Badr as the ideal ruler, especially in protecting the settled farmers from his own nomad supporters.{{sfn|Kennedy|2004|p=250}}
Unlike his father, Badr attended many Buyid court meetings.{{sfn|Tor|2017|p=68}} Following the death of the Buyid ruler Fakhr al-Dawla ({{reign|976|980|984|997}}), Badr went to Ray to help Majd al-Dawla ({{reign|997|1029}}) administer the local affairs, but his help was rebuffed. As a result, Badr kept gradually dissociating himself from the affairs at Ray.{{sfn|Kennedy|2004|p=244}}
Badr was killed in 1014 by his commanders during the siege of a Kurdish fortress, due to ignoring their counsel to avoid fighting in the winter.{{sfn|Spuler|2014|p=109}} Following Badr's death, most of his domain was conquered by the Annazids, while the Buyid ruler Shams al-Dawla ({{reign|997|1021}}) took the rest.{{sfn|Bosworth|1975|p=279}} Badr's grandson Zahir ibn Hilal ibn Badr attempted to restore his grandfather's position with the support of the Buyids of Hamadan.{{sfn|Kennedy|2004|p=244}}
