It has been reported on the authority of Hudbaifa bin al-Yaman who said: Nothing prevented me from being present at the Battle of Badr except this incident. I came out with my father Husail (to participate in the Battle), but we were caught by the disbelievers of Quraish. They said: (Do) you intend to go to Muhammad? We said: We do not intend to go to him, but we wish to go (back) to Madinah. So they took from us a covenant in the name of God that we would turn back to Madinah and would not fight on the side of Muhammad ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . So, we came to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and related the incident to him. He said: Both, of you proceed (to Madinah); we will fulfil the covenant made with them and seek God's help against them.

It has been narrated by Ibrahim al-Taimi on the authority of his father who said: We were sitting in the company of Hudhaifa. A man said: If I were in the time of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , I would have fought by his side and would have striven hard for his causes. Hudhaifa said: You might have done that, (but you should not make a flourish of your enthusiasm). I was with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on the night of the Battle of Abzab and we were gripped by a violent wind and severe cold. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (may peace be him) said: Hark, the man who (goes reconnoitring and) brings me the news of the enemy shall be ranked with me on the Day of Judgment by Allah (the Glorious and Exalted). We all kept quiet and none of us responded to him. (Again) he said: Hark, a man who (goes reconnoitring and) brings me the news of the enemy shall be ranked with me on the Day of Judgment by Allah (the Glorious and Exalted). We kept quiet and none of us responded to him. He again said: Hark, a man who (goes reconnoitring and) brings me the news of the enemy shall be ranked with me on the Day of Judgtuent by Allah (the Glorious and Exalted) Then he said: Get up Hudhaifa, bring me the news of the enemy. When he called me by name I had no alternative but to get up. He said: Go and bring me information about the enemy, and do nothing that may provoke them against me. When I left him, I felt warm as if I were walking in a heated bath until I reached them. I saw Abu Sufyan (RA) warming his back against fire I put an arrow in the middle of the bow intending to shoot at him, when I recalled the words of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) "Do not provoke them against me." Had I shot at him, I would have hit him. But I returned and (felt warm as if) I were walking in a heated bath (hammam). Presenting myself before him, I gave him information about the enemy. When I had done so, I began to feel cold, so the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) wrapped me in a blanket that he had in excess to his own requirement and with which he used to cover himself while saying his prayers. So I continued to sleep until it was morning. When it was morning he said: Get up, O heavy sleeper.

It has been reported on the authority of Anas bin Malik (RA) that (when the enemy got the upper hand) on the day of the Battle of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was left with only seven men from the Ansar and two men from the Quraish. When the enemy advanced towards him and overwhelmed him, he said: Whoso turns them away from us will attain Paradise or will be my Companion in Paradise. A man from the Ansar came forward and fought (the enemy) until he was killed. The enemy advanced and overwhelmed him again and he repeated the words: Whoso turns them away, from us will attain Paradise or will be my Companion in Paradise. A man from the Ansar came forward and fought until he was killed. This state continued until the seven Ansar were killed (one after the other). Now, the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to his two Companions: We have not done justice to our Companions.

It has been narrated on the authority of Abd-ul-'Aziz bin Abu Hazim, who learnt from his father (Abu Hazim). The latter heard it from Sahl bin Sa'd who was asked about the injury which the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) got on the day of the Battle of Uhud. He said: The face of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was injured, his front teeth were damaged and his helmet was crushed. Fatima, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , was washing the blood (from his head), and 'Ali bin Abu Talib was pouring water on it from a shield. When Fatima saw that the bleeding had increased on account of (pouring) water (on the wound), she took a piece of mat and burnt it until it was reduced to ashes. She put the ashes on the wound and the bleeding stopped.

It has been reported on the authority of Abu Hazim who heard from Sahl bin Sa'd. The latter was asked about the injury of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . He said: By God, I know the person who washed the wound of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , who poured water on it and with what the wound was treated. Then Sahl narrated the same tradition as has been narrated by 'Abdul 'Aziz except that he added the words: "And his face was injured" and replaced the word "Hushimat" by "Kusirat" (i. e. it was broken).

The same tradition has been narrated on the authority of Sahl bin Sa'd through a different chain of transmitters with a slight difference in the wording.

It has been narrated on the authority of Anas that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had his front teeth damaged on the day of the Battle of Uhud, and got a wound on his head. He was wiping the blood (from his face) and was saying: How will these people attain salvation who have wounded their Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and broken his tooth while he called them towards God? At this time, God, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed the Verse: "Thou hast no authority" (iii. 127).

It has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah who said: It appeared to me as if I saw the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (and heard him) relate the story of a Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) who had been beaten by his people, was wiping the blood from his face and was saying. My Lord, forgive my people, for they do not know.

A version of the tradition with a slightly different wording has been narrated by another chain of transmitters.

It has been narrated by Hammam bin Munabbih who said: This is what has been related to us by Abu Hurairah (RA) from the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . (With this introduction) he narrated a number of traditions. One of these was that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Great is the wrath of Allah upon a people who have done this to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , and he was at that time pointing to his front teeth. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) also said: Great is the wrath of Allah upon a person who has been killed by the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) in the way of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious.
