It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took a sword in his hand and said: Who will take this sword? People began to look at it and examine it, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Who is there who will take it and fulfill its right? So the people stepped back. Sayyiduna Abu Dujana Simak (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will take it and fulfill its right. Thus, he began to strike off the heads of the polytheists.

It is narrated from Sa’ib bin Yazid that on the day of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was wearing two coats of mail, one over the other.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I heard that when the martyrs of Uhud were mentioned, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: By Allah! I wish that I too were buried with them at the foot of the mountain.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, that when the martyrs of Uhud were being taken from there towards Madinah Munawwarah, a proclaimer from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, made an announcement that these slain ones should be brought back to their place, that is, the field of Uhud.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when my father was martyred on the day of Uhud, my sisters gave me a camel and said, "Go and bring our father's body on it and bury him in the graveyard of Banu Salamah." I and my helpers reached there, but when Allah's Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of our plan, he called for me while he was still present at the place of Uhud. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "By the One in Whose hand is my soul! He will be buried with his fellow martyrs." And so it happened that he was buried with the other martyrs at Uhud.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered regarding the martyrs of Uhud that the iron and leather garments be removed from their bodies and that they be buried with their blood and clothes.

It is narrated from Ja'far bin Amr Dhamri, who says: I went towards Syria in the company of Ubaidullah bin Adi bin Khiyar. When we reached Homs, Ubaidullah said to me: Do you want to see Wahshi bin Harb, the killer of Sayyiduna Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him)? We will ask him about the killing of Sayyiduna Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him). I said: Yes. In those days, Wahshi was residing in Homs. We inquired about him from the people, and we were told that he is right there, in the shade of his palace; his body was as stout as a water-skin. Ja'far says: We went near him and stopped, and we greeted him with salam. He replied to our salam. At that time, Ubaidullah had wrapped his turban well; Wahshi could only see his eyes and feet. Ubaidullah said: Wahshi! Do you recognize me? He looked at him and said: By Allah! No, but I only know that Adi bin Khiyar married Umm Qital, the daughter of Abu Al-Ays, and from her womb, a son was born to him in Mecca. I was looking for a woman to nurse that child. I picked up the child with his mother and handed him over to that woman. Your feet resemble those of that child. After that, Ubaidullah removed the cloth from his face and said: Will you narrate to us the incident of the killing of Sayyiduna Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him)? He said: Yes. Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him) killed Tu'aymah bin Adi at Badr. My master Jubair bin Mut'im said to me: If you kill Sayyiduna Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him) in revenge for my uncle, you will be free. When people set out for battle on the day of Uhud, there is a small mountain near Uhud called Aynayn. There is only a valley between the two. People set out for battle and lined up for fighting. Then Siba' bin Abd Al-Uzza Khuzai came forward and challenged: Is there anyone to face me? Sayyiduna Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him) came out to face him and said: Are you Siba' bin Umm Anmar? O son of the woman who used to circumcise girls! Have you come to fight against Allah and His Messenger? And saying this, he attacked him. I was lying in ambush behind a rock with the intention of killing Sayyiduna Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him), so that when he passed by me, I could attack him. When he came near me, I struck him on his lower abdomen, and the blow passed through his body. That very blow caused his death. When people returned from the battle, I also returned and stayed in Mecca until Islam spread there as well. Then I left for Ta'if. The people of Ta'if sent a messenger to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). It was said that you do not harm any messenger. I also went with the people to the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw me, he said: Are you Wahshi? I said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Are you the one who killed Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him)? I said: O Messenger of Allah! That is what has reached you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Can you keep yourself away from me? So I left from there. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away and Musaylimah the Liar appeared, claiming prophethood, I thought I would go to Musaylimah and see if I could succeed in killing him, and thus make amends for the killing of Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him). So I went out with the people to face Musaylimah. What was destined happened. I saw a man standing in a gap in a wall; he looked like a gray camel, his hair was disheveled. I threw my spear at him, which struck him between his breasts and passed out between his shoulders. Then an Ansari rushed towards him and struck his head with a sword. Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a girl from the roof of a house said: A black slave has killed the Commander of the Faithful, Musaylimah.
