Volume 5, Book 59, Number 394:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
When it was the day of Uhud, the pagans were defeated. Then Satan, Allah’s Curse be upon him,
cried loudly, “O Allah’s Worshippers, beware of what is behind!” On that, the front files of the
(Muslim) forces turned their backs and started fighting with the back files. Hudhaifa looked, and on

seeing his father Al-Yaman, he shouted, “O Allah’s Worshippers, my father, my father!” But by Allah,
they did not stop till they killed him. Hudhaifa said, “May Allah forgive you.” (The sub-narrator,
‘Urwa, said, “By Allah, Hudhaifa continued asking Allah’s Forgiveness for the killers of his father till
he departed to Allah (i.e. died).”)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 395:
Narrated ‘Uthman bin Mauhab:
A man came to perform the Hajj to (Allah’s) House. Seeing some people sitting, he said, “Who are
these sitting people?” Somebody said, “They are the people of Quraish.” He said, “Who is the old
man?” They said, “Ibn ‘Umar.” He went to him and said, “I want to ask you about something; will you
tell me about it? I ask you with the respect due to the sanctity of this (Sacred) House, do you know
that ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan fled on the day of Uhud?” Ibn ‘Umar said, “Yes.” He said, “Do you know that
he (i.e. ‘Uthman) was absent from the Badr (battle) and did not join it?” Ibn ‘Umar said, “Yes.” He said,
“Do you know that he failed to be present at the Ridwan Pledge of allegiance (i.e. Pledge of allegiance
at Hudaibiya) and did not witness it?” Ibn ‘Umar replied, “Yes,” He then said, “Allahu-Akbar!” Ibn
‘Umar said, “Come along; I will inform you and explain to you what you have asked. As for the flight
(of ‘Uthman) on the day of Uhud, I testify that Allah forgave him. As regards his absence from the
Badr (battle), he was married to the daughter of Allah’s Apostle and she was ill, so the Prophet said to
him, ‘You will have such reward as a man who has fought the Badr battle will get, and will also have
the same share of the booty.’ As for his absence from the Ridwan Pledge of allegiance if there had
been anybody more respected by the Meccans than ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan, the Prophet would surely
have sent that man instead of ‘Uthman. So the Prophet sent him (i.e. ‘Uthman to Mecca) and the Rid –
wan Pledge of allegiance took place after ‘Uthman had gone to Mecca. The Prophet raised his right
hand saying. ‘This is the hand of ‘Uthman,’ and clapped it over his other hand and said, “This is for
‘Uthman.'” Ibn ‘Umar then said (to the man), “Go now, after taking this information.”

sends his praises to Him. Our Lord, all the Praises are for you!” So Allah revealed:– “Not for you (O
Muhammad! )……(till the end of Verse) they are indeed wrong-doers.” (3.128) Salim bin ‘Abdullah
said’ “Allah’s Apostle used to invoke evil upon Safwan bin Umaiya, Suhail bin ‘Amr and Al-Harith bin
Hisham. So the Verse was revealed:– “Not for you (O Muhammad!)……(till the end of Verse) For they
are indeed wrong-doers.” (3.128)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 398:
Narrated Tha’laba bin Abi Malik:
‘Umar bin Al-Khattab distributed woolen clothes amongst some women of Medina, and a nice
woolen garment remained. Some of those who were sitting with him, said, “O chief of the believers!
Give it to the daughter of Allah’s Apostle who is with you,” and by that, they meant Um Kulthum, the
daughter of ‘Ali. Umar said, “Um Salit has got more right than she.” Um Saht was amongst those An –
sari women who had given the pledge of allegiance to Allah’s Apostle . ‘Umar added, “She (i.e. Um
Salit) used to carry the filled water skins for us on the day of the battle of Uhud.”
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 399:
Narrated Jafar bin ‘Amr bin Umaiya:
I went out with ‘Ubaidullah bin ‘Adi Al-Khaiyar. When we reached Hims (i.e. a town in Syria),
‘Ubaidullah bin ‘Adi said (to me), “Would you like to see Wahshi so that we may ask him about the
killing of Hamza?” I replied, “Yes.” Wahshi used to live in Hims. We enquired about him and some –
body said to us, “He is that in the shade of his palace, as if he were a full water skin.” So we went up
to him, and when we were at a short distance from him, we greeted him and he greeted us in return.
‘Ubaidullah was wearing his turban and Wahshi could not see except his eyes and feet. ‘Ubaidullah
said, “O Wahshi! Do you know me?” Wahshi looked at him and then said, “No, by Allah! But I know
that ‘Adi bin Al-Khiyar married a woman called Um Qital, the daughter of Abu Al-Is, and she de –
livered a boy for him at Mecca, and I looked for a wet nurse for that child. (Once) I carried that child
along with his mother and then I handed him over to her, and your feet resemble that child’s feet.”
Then ‘Ubaidullah uncovered his face and said (to Wahshi), “Will you tell us (the story of) the killing
of Hamza?” Wahshi replied “Yes, Hamza killed Tuaima bin ‘Adi bin Al-Khaiyar at Badr (battle) so my
master, Jubair bin Mut’im said to me, ‘If you kill Hamza in revenge for my uncle, then you will be set
free.” When the people set out (for the battle of Uhud) in the year of ‘Ainain ..’Ainain is a mountain
near the mountain of Uhud, and between it and Uhud there is a valley.. I went out with the people
for the battle. When the army aligned for the fight, Siba’ came out and said, ‘Is there any (Muslim) to
accept my challenge to a duel?’ Hamza bin ‘Abdul Muttalib came out and said, ‘O Siba’. O Ibn Um
Anmar, the one who circumcises other ladies! Do you challenge Allah and His Apostle?’ Then Hamza
attacked and killed him, causing him to be non-extant like the bygone yesterday. I hid myself under
a rock, and when he (i.e. Hamza) came near me, I threw my spear at him, driving it into his umbil –

icus so that it came out through his buttocks, causing him to die. When all the people returned to
Mecca, I too returned with them. I stayed in (Mecca) till Islam spread in it (i.e. Mecca). Then I left for
Taif, and when the people (of Taif) sent their messengers to Allah’s Apostle, I was told that the Proph –
et did not harm the messengers; So I too went out with them till I reached Allah’s Apostle. When he
saw me, he said, ‘Are you Wahshi?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Was it you who killed Hamza?’ I replied,
‘What happened is what you have been told of.’ He said, ‘Can you hide your face from me?’ So I went
out when Allah’s Apostle died, and Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab appeared (claiming to be a prophet). I
said, ‘I will go out to Musailamah so that I may kill him, and make amends for killing Hamza. So I
went out with the people (to fight Musailamah and his followers) and then famous events took place
concerning that battle. Suddenly I saw a man (i.e. Musailamah) standing near a gap in a wall. He
looked like an ash-colored camel and his hair was dishevelled. So I threw my spear at him, driving it
into his chest in between his breasts till it passed out through his shoulders, and then an Ansari man
attacked him and struck him on the head with a sword. ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said, ‘A slave girl on the
roof of a house said: Alas! The chief of the believers (i.e. Musailamah) has been killed by a black
slave.”
