It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: On the day of the Battle of Uhud, when the people returned from the fighting, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) found Hamzah missing. The narrator says: A man said: "I saw him by that tree, saying: 'I am the lion of Allah and the lion of His Messenger. O Allah, I declare before You my disavowal of what these have brought, meaning Abu Sufyan and his companions, and I apologise to You for what these (Muslims) have done and for their flight.'" So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went towards him, and when he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw his forehead he wept, and when he saw his mutilation (his cut limbs) he (peace and blessings be upon him) sobbed aloud. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Is there no shroud for him?" A man of the Ansar then threw a cloth over him. Jabir says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, the chief of all the martyrs in the sight of Allah Almighty will be Hamzah." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every prophet was given seven rufaqa' (close companions), while I have been given more than a dozen." Sayyiduna Ali was asked who they were, and he said: "Myself, Hamzah and my two sons (Hasan and Husayn)," then he mentioned the rest. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) that Abdullah bin Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Allah, I adjure You that tomorrow I meet the enemy, that they kill me, then rip open my belly and cut off my nose and ears, then You ask me: 'For what was all this?' and I answer: 'For Your sake.'" Sa'id bin al-Musayyib says: I hope that Allah Almighty will fulfil the last part of his oath just as He fulfilled the first part. Were it not for the irsal (missing Companion link) in it, this hadith would be sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The first banner prepared in Islam was for Abdullah bin Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with him).

Ibrahim al-Abdari narrates from his father that he said: Mus'ab bin Umayr was the most handsome and good-looking of the young men of Makkah. His parents loved him dearly; his mother used to dress him in the finest and most delicate clothes, and he was the most fragrant person in Makkah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to mention him, saying: "I have not seen anyone in Makkah with more beautiful hair, finer clothing, or raised in greater comfort than Mus'ab bin Umayr."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished with the Battle of Uhud, he passed on his way by Mus'ab bin Umayr, who had been martyred, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "Among the believers are men who have been true to the covenant they made with Allah" [Surah al-Ahzab: 23] . This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Kharijah bin Zayd bin Thabit narrates from his father that he said: On the day of the Battle of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to look for Sa'd bin al-Rabi', and said to me: "If you find him, convey my greeting of peace to him and say to him that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asks: 'How do you find yourself?'" Zayd says: I began going around among the slain, and I found him in his last breaths. He had seventy wounds from spears, swords and arrows. I said to him: "O Sa'd, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sends you greetings of peace and asks: 'Tell me, how do you find yourself?'" He said: "Peace be upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and peace be upon you. Say to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, I find the fragrance of Paradise within me.' And say to my people, the Ansar: 'You will have no excuse before Allah if any harm reaches the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while a single eye among you still blinks (that is, while even one of you is alive).'" The narrator says: Then his soul departed, may Allah have mercy on him. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Abdullah bin Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Sa'sa'ah narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who will look for me and see what has happened to Sa'd bin al-Rabi'?" Then he narrated the incident in detail like the previous narration, and said that Sa'd said: "Inform the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that I am now among the dead, convey my greeting of peace to him, and say to him that Sa'd says: 'May Allah Almighty reward you with the best of rewards on our behalf and on behalf of the whole Ummah.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Nothing prevented us from taking part in the Battle of Badr except that my father and I were coming along when the disbelievers of Quraysh seized us. They asked: "Do you intend to go to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?" We said: "No, we have no such intention; we only want to go to Madinah." So they took from us a firm covenant and pledge by Allah that we would go only to Madinah and would not fight (against them) alongside Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). When we had got away from them, we came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him everything they had said and what we had replied. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "We seek Allah's help against them, and we will fulfil their covenant." So we went to Madinah, and this is what prevented us from taking part in Badr. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Mahmud bin Labid; he said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out for Uhud, al-Yaman bin Hisl, the father of Hudhayfah, and Thabit bin Waqsh bin Za'ura' stayed behind in the fortresses with the women and children. These two elderly men said to one another: "May you fare well! What are we waiting for? By Allah, what remains of the life of each of us is no longer than the time it takes a thirsty donkey to quench its thirst; we are only about to depart. Why should we not take up our swords and join the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" So they joined the army of the Muslims in such a way that no one knew about them. Thabit bin Waqsh was martyred by the polytheists, while the swords of the Muslims unknowingly fell upon Abu Hudhayfah, and they martyred him without recognizing him. Hudhayfah cried out: "My father! My father!" The people said: "By Allah, we did not recognize him," and they were truthful in what they said. Hudhayfah said: "May Allah forgive you, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to pay his blood money (diyah), but Hudhayfah gave that blood money in charity to the Muslims, and this further increased his honor and standing in the heart of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
