Sad.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 391:
Narrated As-Saib bin Yazid:
I have been in the company of ‘AbdurRahman bin ‘Auf, Talha bin ‘Ubaidullah, Al-Miqdad and Sad,
and I heard none of them narrating anything from the Prophet excepting the fact that I heard Talha
narrating about the day of Uhud (battle) .
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 392:
Narrated Qais:
I saw Talha’s paralyzed hand with which he had protected the Prophet on the day of Uhud.
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).
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.”
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 396:
Narrated Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib:
The Prophet appointed Abdullah bin Jubair as the commander of the cavalry archers on the day of
the battle of Uhud. Then they returned defeated, and that what is referred to by Allah’s Statement:–
“And the Apostle (Muhammad) in your rear was calling you.” (3.153)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 397:
Narrated Salim’s father:
That he heard Allah’s Apostle, when raising his head from bowing of the first Rak’a of the morning
prayer, saying, “O Allah! Curse so-and-so and so-and-so” after he had said, “Allah hears him who

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)
