It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Spoils of war were not lawful for those before you who had black-haired heads. Fire would descend from the sky and consume the spoils. Then, when the day of Badr came, people began to hasten regarding the spoils. So Allah revealed this verse: { لَوْلاَ کِتَابٌ مِنَ اللہِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّکُمْ فِیمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِیمٌ، فَکُلُوا مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلاَلاً طَیِّبًا }.

It is narrated from Hazrat Qasim bin Abdur Rahman that on the day of Badr, the first person to be martyred among the people of Islam was Hazrat Mahja’.

It is narrated from Hazrat Sha'bi that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used strategy against the polytheists on the day of Uhud. And this was the first day on which he (peace and blessings be upon him) used strategy against them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when it was the day of Uhud and the polytheists were defeated, Satan called out: "O servants of Allah, look at those behind you." The people in front turned back and joined those behind. The narrator says: During this, Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) saw that they were facing his father, so he said, "O servants of Allah! My father, my father!" Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: By Allah! The companions did not stop until they killed him. Then Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "May Allah forgive you." Urwah says: By Allah! Goodness remained in Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) until he met Allah.

Hazrat Sha’bi says that when it was the day of Uhud and the polytheists had retreated, the Muslims saw their brothers in the worst state of mutilation. The polytheists had cut off the ears and noses of the Muslims and had ripped open their bellies. The companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If Allah grants us power over them, we will certainly do the same to them. And we will certainly do the same to them. Allah revealed this verse: { وَإِنْ عَاقَبْتُمْ فَعَاقِبُوا بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبْتُمْ بِہِ، وَلَئِنْ صَبَرْتُمْ لَہُوَ خَیْرٌ لِلصَّابِرِینَ } The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Rather, we will be patient.

Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib narrates that in the Battle of Uhud, the one who fought the most among the Muslims was Hazrat Sa’d.

It is narrated from Hazrat Umair bin Ishaq: During the Battle of Uhud, people had distanced themselves from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Hazrat Sa’d bin Malik was shooting arrows. And a young man was handing him arrows for shooting. So, as soon as one arrow was shot, he would hand another arrow to Hazrat Sa’d. Then he said,“O Abu Ishaq! Shoot an arrow at him.”Later, people searched for this young man (who was handing the arrows), but people were not able to find him (i.e., he was not found).

It is narrated from Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) bin Abi Talib that I have not heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say "may my parents be sacrificed for you" for anyone except Sa'd. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Uhud. He was saying: O Sa'd! Shoot arrows, may my mother and father be sacrificed for you.

Hazrat Sa'd narrates that on the day of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) combined his mother and father (in saying may they be sacrificed for you) for me.

Hazrat Sa'd says: On the day of Uhud, I saw two men on the right and left side of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who were wearing white clothes. I had never seen them before nor after that.
