Volume 5, Book 59, Number 410:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
When the mountain of Uhud appeared before Allah’s Apostle he said, “This IS a mountain that
loves us and is loved by us. O, Allah! Abraham made Mecca a Sanctuary, and I have made Medina
(i.e. the area between its two mountains) a Sanctuary as well.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 5 > BOOK 59: MILITARY EXPEDITIONS LED BY THE PROPHET (PBUH) (AL-MAGHAAZI)
One day the Prophet went out and offered the (funeral) prayer for the people (i.e. martyrs) of
Uhud as he used to offer a funeral prayer for any dead person, and then (after returning) he ascen –
ded the pulpit and said, “I am your predecessor before you, and I am a witness upon you, and I am
looking at my Tank just now, and I have been given the keys of the treasures of the world (or the
keys of the world). By Allah, I am not afraid that you will worship others besides Allah after me, but I
am afraid that you will compete with each other for (the pleasures of) this world.”

Narrated Qatada:
We do not know of any tribe amongst the ‘Arab tribes who lost more martyrs than Al-Ansar, and
they will have superiority on the Day of Resurrection. Anas bin Malik told us that seventy from the
Ansar were martyred on the day of Uhud, and seventy on the day (of the battle of) Bir Ma’una, and
seventy on the day of Al-Yamama. Anas added, “The battle of Bir Ma’una took place during the life –
time of Allah’s Apostle and the battle of Al-Yamama, during the caliphate of Abu Bakr, and it was the
day when Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab was killed.”
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 406:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah
Allah’s Apostle used to shroud two martyrs of Uhud in one sheet and then say, “Which of them
knew Quran more?” When one of the two was pointed out, he would put him first in the grave. Then
he said, “I will be a witness for them on the Day of Resurrection.” He ordered them to be buried with
their blood (on their bodies). Neither was the funeral prayer offered for them, nor were they washed.
Jabir added, “When my father was martyred, I started weeping and uncovering his face. The com –
panions of the Prophet stopped me from doing so but the Prophet did not stop me. Then the Prophet

said, ‘(O Jabir.) don’t weep over him, for the angels kept on covering him with their wings till his
body was carried away (for burial).”
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 407:
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet said, “I saw in a dream that I moved a sword and its blade got broken, and that sym –
bolized the casualties which the believers suffered on the day of Uhud. Then I moved it again, and it
became as perfect as it had been, and that symbolized the Conquest (of Mecca) which Allah helped
us to achieve, and the union of all the believers. I (also) saw cows in the dream, and what Allah does
is always beneficial. Those cows appeared to symbolize the faithful believers (who were martyred)
on the day of Uhud.”
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 408:
Narrated Khabbab:
We migrated with the Prophet for Allah’s Cause, so our reward became due with Allah. Some of us
passed away (i.e. died) without enjoying anything from their reward, and one of them was Mus’ab
bin ‘Umar who was killed (i.e. martyred) on the day of Uhud. He did not leave behind except a sheet
of striped woolen cloth. If we covered his head with it, his feet became naked, and if we covered his
feet with it, his head became naked. The Prophet said to us, “Cover his head with it and put Idhkhir
(i.e. a kind of grass) over his feet,” or said, “Put some Idhkhir over his feet.” But some of us have got
their fruits ripened, and they are collecting them.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 393:
Narrated Anas:
When it was the day of Uhud, the people left the Prophet while Abu Talha was in front of the
Prophet shielding him with his leather shield. Abu Talha was a skillful archer who used to shoot vi –
olently. He broke two or three arrow bows on that day. If a man carrying a quiver full of arrows
passed by, the Prophet would say (to him), put (scatter) its contents for Abu Talha.” The Prophet
would raise his head to look at the enemy, whereupon Abu Talha would say, “Let my father and
mother be sacrificed for you ! Do not raise your head, lest an arrow of the enemy should hit you.
(Let) my neck (be struck) rather than your neck.” I saw ‘Aisha, the daughter of Abu Bakr, and Um Su –
laim rolling up their dresses so that I saw their leg-bangles while they were carrying water skins on
their backs and emptying them in the mouths of the (wounded) people. They would return to refill
them and again empty them in the mouths of the (wounded) people. The sword fell from Abu Talha’s
hand twice or thrice (on that day).
