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.”

Narrated Qatada:
I asked Anas how many times the Prophet had performed ‘Umra. He replied, “Four times. 1. ‘Umra
of Hudaibiya in Dhi-l-Qa’da when the pagans hindered him; 2. ‘Umra in the following year in Dhi-
l-Qa’da after the peace treaty with them (the pagans); 3. ‘Umra from Al-Jr’rana where he distributed
the war booty.” I think he meant the booty (of the battle) of Hunain. I asked, “How many times did he
perform Hajj?” He (Anas) replied, “Once. “

interval between their finishing the Suhur and the starting of the morning prayer?” Anas replied, “It
was equal to the time taken by a person in reciting fifty verses of the Quran.”
