Sayyiduna Talhah bin Yahya narrates from his grandmother, Sayyidah Su'da bint Awf al-Murriyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), that Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to me and I found him sorrowful. I asked: "What is the matter, that I see your face downcast? Has something from our side displeased you?" He said: "No, by Allah! Nothing from you has displeased me; you are the best of companions in life. The real matter is that a great deal of wealth has gathered with me (and that is why I am troubled)." She said: "Then distribute it among your household and your people." She (the narrator) said: So he did just that. I asked the treasurer how much wealth he had distributed. He told me: "Four hundred thousand (dirhams)." And his daily income was a full thousand (dirhams). For this reason he was called "Talhah al-Fayyad" (the overflowingly generous).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the war had laid down its burdens, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) expressed pride (in the favour of Allah), while Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Simak bin Kharashah, that is, Abu Dujanah (may Allah be pleased with him), both remained completely silent. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, I saw myself on the day of Uhud in such a state that there was no creature on the face of the earth near me except Jibril (peace be upon him), who was on my right, and Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him), who was on my left." About this, these verses were said: "And Talhah, on the day of the mountain pass (of Uhud), consoled and stood by Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) at a time when matters had grown hard and narrow for them. With both his hands he shielded him (peace and blessings be upon him) from the spears, until his fingers were cut beneath the spears and became paralysed. And he was a leader of the people after Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), who kept the mill of Islam steady (by his firmness) until it had settled firmly."

It is narrated from Sufyan bin Uyaynah that Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said these verses in praise of Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he did not except anyone (from the praise): "He stood firm when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was surrounded (by the enemy), and when all the people had turned their backs and scattered. He was defending the blessed life of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while the enemy had come right up close to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and was attacking wave after wave. His body was drenched in blood, out of fear that if the enemy turned back saying, 'We must take our revenge,' they would fall upon him again."

It is narrated from Umm Ishaq bint Talhah: I heard my father saying: "On the day of Uhud my whole body was wounded, even my private part was wounded."

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Amir bin Rabi'ah, whose father (Amir bin Rabi'ah) had taken part in Badr: "Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) appointed Qudamah bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) as governor of Bahrain, and he was the maternal uncle of Sayyidah Hafsah and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both)."

It is narrated from Aishah bint Qudamah that Sayyiduna Qudamah bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) died in the year 36 AH, when he was sixty-eight years old, and he did not change the colour of his white hair with dye.

Ibn Umar said: He is Qudamah bin Maz'un bin Habib al-Jumahi. He accepted Islam before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the house of al-Arqam and before he began (openly) calling (to Islam) there. He is the brother of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Qudamah (may Allah be pleased with him) made the second emigration to Abyssinia. Safiyyah bint al-Khattab, the sister of Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), was married to him. And Sayyiduna Qudamah (may Allah be pleased with him) took part alongside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Battles of Badr, Uhud, al-Khandaq and all the other battles.

It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Sa'd that before the Battle of Badr the polytheists seized Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) and his father, and they wanted to kill them. Then they took from them a firm covenant and pledge by Allah that they would not help (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) against them. So the two of them swore the oath to them, and they released them. Then the two of them came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), related the whole incident and said: We have sworn an oath to them; if you wish, we will fight alongside you (despite this covenant). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "We will fulfil (the covenant) (nafi), and we will seek Allah's help against them."

It is narrated from Urwah that Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) was from Banu Abs and was an ally among the Ansar. His father was killed on the day of Uhud (while fighting) alongside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); on that day the Muslims made a mistake, because they took him to be one of the polytheists. Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) began calling out: My father! My father! But they did not understand (in the tumult) until they had killed him. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave an order concerning him, and his blood money was paid.

Muhammad bin Umar said: Hudhayfah bin Husayl bin Jabir bin Rabi'ah bin Amr bin Jirwah; and Jirwah is "al-Yaman," from whose descendants is Sayyiduna Hudhayfah. He was called "al-Yaman" because he had shed blood among his own people, so he fled to Madinah and became an ally of Banu Abd al-Ashhal. So his people named him "al-Yaman" because he had made an alliance with the Yemenis (the Ansar). Sayyiduna Hudhayfah, his father Husayl and his brother Safwan took part in the Battle of Uhud. As for his father, some of the Muslims killed him on the day of Uhud, taking him to be a polytheist, and Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) gave his blood money in charity to the Muslims. As for Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), he took part in all the battles of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) after Badr, and he lived until the early period of the caliphate of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), that is, the year 36 AH. Some people hold that he died in al-Mada'in in the year 35 AH, forty days after the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him).
