It is narrated from Muhammad Ibn al-Hanafiyyah that he said: On the day of Siffin I saw Abu Amrah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), who had been present at Badr, at al-Aqabah and at Uhud. He was fasting and writhing, exhausted from the severity of thirst, and he was saying to his servant: Woe to you, shield me! So the servant kept shielding him. Then he shot an arrow, which fell a short distance away (because of weakness), until he had shot three arrows. Then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever shoots an arrow in the path of Allah, whether it reaches (the target) or falls short, that arrow will be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection." Then he was martyred before sunset.
