Volume 5, Book 59, Number 402:
Narrated Abu Hazim:
That he heard Sahl bin Sad being asked about the wounds of Allah’s Apostle saying, “By Allah, I
know who washed the wounds of Allah’s Apostle and who poured water (for washing them), and
with what he was treated.” Sahl added, “Fatima, the daughter of Allah’s Apostle used to wash the
wounds, and ‘Ali bin Abi Talib used to pour water from a shield. When Fatima saw that the water ag –
gravated the bleeding, she took a piece of a mat, burnt it, and inserted its ashes into the wound so
that the blood was congealed (and bleeding stopped). His canine tooth got broken on that day, and
face was wounded, and his helmet was broken on his head.”

Narrated Ibn Al Musaiyab:
Sad bin Abi Waqqas said, “Allah’s Apostle mentioned both his father and mother for me on the day

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 372:
Narrated Al-Bara:
Allah’s Apostle sent ‘Abdullah bin ‘Atik and ‘Abdullah bin ‘Utba with a group of men to Abu Rafi (to
kill him). They proceeded till they approached his castle, whereupon ‘Abdullah bin Atik said to them,
“Wait (here), and in the meantime I will go and see.” ‘Abdullah said later on, “I played a trick in order
to enter the castle. By chance, they lost a donkey of theirs and came out carrying a flaming light to
search for it. I was afraid that they would recognize me, so I covered my head and legs and preten –
ded to answer the call to nature. The gatekeeper called, ‘Whoever wants to come in, should come in
before I close the gate.’ So I went in and hid myself in a stall of a donkey near the gate of the castle.
They took their supper with Abu Rafi and had a chat till late at night. Then they went back to their
homes. When the voices vanished and I no longer detected any movement, I came out. I had seen
where the gate-keeper had kept the key of the castle in a hole in the wall. I took it and unlocked the

gate of the castle, saying to myself, ‘If these people should notice me, I will run away easily.’ Then I
locked all the doors of their houses from outside while they were inside, and ascended to Abu Rafi by
a staircase. I saw the house in complete darkness with its light off, and I could not know where the
man was. So I called, ‘O Abu Rafi!’ He replied, ‘Who is it?’ I proceeded towards the voice and hit him.
He cried loudly but my blow was futile. Then I came to him, pretending to help him, saying with a
different tone of my voice, ‘ What is wrong with you, O Abu Rafi?’ He said, ‘Are you not surprised?
Woe on your mother! A man has come to me and hit me with a sword!’ So again I aimed at him and
hit him, but the blow proved futile again, and on that Abu Rafi cried loudly and his wife got up. I
came again and changed my voice as if I were a helper, and found Abu Rafi lying straight on his
back, so I drove the sword into his belly and bent on it till I heard the sound of a bone break. Then I
came out, filled with astonishment and went to the staircase to descend, but I fell down from it and
got my leg dislocated. I bandaged it and went to my companions limping. I said (to them), ‘Go and
tell Allah’s Apostle of this good news, but I will not leave (this place) till I hear the news of his (i.e.
Abu Rafi’s) death.’ When dawn broke, an announcer of death got over the wall and announced, ‘I
convey to you the news of Abu Rafi’s death.’ I got up and proceeded without feeling any pain till I
caught up with my companions before they reached the Prophet to whom I conveyed the good
news.”

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 374:
Narrated Uqba bin Amir:
Allah’s Apostle offered the funeral prayers of the martyrs of Uhud eight years after (their death), as
if bidding farewell to the living and the dead, then he ascended the pulpit and said, “I am your pre –
decessor before you, and I am a witness on you, and your promised place to meet me will be Al-
Haud (i.e. the Tank) (on the Day of Resurrection), and I am (now) looking at it from this place of
mine. I am not afraid that you will worship others besides Allah, but I am afraid that worldly life will
tempt you and cause you to compete with each other for it.” That was the last look which I cast on
Allah’s Apostle.

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 5 > BOOK 59: MILITARY EXPEDITIONS LED BY THE PROPHET (PBUH) (AL-MAGHAAZI)
We faced the pagans on that day (of the battle of Uhud) and the Prophet placed a batch of archers
(at a special place) and appointed ‘Abdullah (bin Jubair) as their commander and said, “Do not leave
this place; and if you should see us conquering the enemy, do not leave this place, and if you should
see them conquering us, do not (come to) help us,” So, when we faced the enemy, they took to their
heel till I saw their women running towards the mountain, lifting up their clothes from their legs,
revealing their leg-bangles. The Muslims started saying, “The booty, the booty!” ‘Abdullah bin Jubair
said, “The Prophet had taken a firm promise from me not to leave this place.” But his companions re –
fused (to stay). So when they refused (to stay there), (Allah) confused them so that they could not
know where to go, and they suffered seventy casualties. Abu Sufyan ascended a high place and said,
“Is Muhammad present amongst the people?” The Prophet said, “Do not answer him.” Abu Sufyan
said, “Is the son of Abu Quhafa present among the people?” The Prophet said, “Do not answer him.”
Abd Sufyan said, “Is the son of Al-Khattab amongst the people?” He then added, “All these people
have been killed, for, were they alive, they would have replied.” On that, ‘Umar could not help say –
ing, “You are a liar, O enemy of Allah! Allah has kept what will make you unhappy.” Abu Safyan said,
“Superior may be Hubal!” On that the Prophet said (to his companions), “Reply to him.” They asked,
“What may we say?” He said, “Say: Allah is More Elevated and More Majestic!” Abu Sufyan said, “We
have (the idol) Al-‘Uzza, whereas you have no ‘Uzza!” The Prophet said (to his companions), “Reply to
him.” They said, “What may we say?” The Prophet said, “Say: Allah is our Helper and you have no
helper.” Abu Sufyan said, “(This) day compensates for our loss at Badr and (in) the battle (the victory)
is always undecided and shared in turns by the belligerents. You will see some of your dead men
mutilated, but neither did I urge this action, nor am I sorry for it.” Narrated Jabir: Some people took
wine in the morning of the day of Uhud and were then killed as martyrs.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 376:
Narrated Sad bin Ibrahim:
A meal was brought to ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Auf while he was fasting. He said, “Musab bin ‘Umar
was martyred, and he was better than I, yet he was shrouded in a Burda (i.e. a sheet) so that, if his
head was covered, his feet became naked, and if his feet were covered, his head became naked.” ‘Ab –
dur-Rahman added, “Hamza was martyred and he was better than 1. Then worldly wealth was be –
stowed upon us and we were given thereof too much. We are afraid that the reward of our deeds
have been given to us in this life.” ‘Abdur-Rahman then started weeping so much that he left the
food.
