It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Because of what Talha has done with the Messenger of Allah, he has made (Paradise) certain for himself." This refers to the time when Sayyiduna Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) sat down for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) climbed onto his back.

Qais says: I saw Sayyiduna Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) that his hand had become paralyzed; he had blocked the arrows coming towards the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Uhud with it.
