Sayyidah Umm Qays bint Mihsan (may Allah be pleased with her) relates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, Sayyiduna Ukkashah (may Allah be pleased with him) was forty years old, and one year after that, in the year 12 AH, during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), he was martyred at Buzakhah. Ukkashah (may Allah be pleased with him) was among the most handsome of people.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The first group to enter Paradise will enter with faces shining like the moon on the fourteenth night; then after them will be those who are like the brightest shining star in the sky." Hearing this, Sayyiduna Ukkashah bin Mihsan (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah to include me among them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah! Include him among them." Then another man stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah to include me among them as well. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ukkashah has preceded you to it." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Waqid al-Laythi (may Allah be pleased with him): We were in a vanguard of two hundred horsemen whose commander was Sayyiduna Zayd bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). Ahead of us were Sayyiduna Thabit bin Aqram and Sayyiduna Ukkashah bin Mihsan (may Allah be pleased with them both). When we passed by the two of them, they had been martyred, which greatly grieved us, Khalid bin al-Walid and the Muslims coming behind us. We stopped by them, and on the order of Khalid bin al-Walid a grave was dug for them, and we buried them with their blood. Mention of the virtues of Sayyiduna Ma'n bin Adi bin al-Ajlan al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him):

Ibn Ishaq relates that Sayyiduna Ma'n bin Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) was an ally from the Bali tribe. He took part in the Pledge of Aqabah, and he participated in the battles of Badr, Uhud, al-Khandaq and all the battles with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He was martyred in the Battle of Yamamah during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Urwah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Ma'n bin Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred in the Battle of Yamamah against Musaylimah the Liar. Mention of the virtues of Sayyiduna Abbad bin Bishr bin Waqsh al-Ashhali (may Allah be pleased with him):

Ibrahim bin al-Mundhir relates that Sayyiduna Abbad bin Bishr bin Waqsh (may Allah be pleased with him) was one of Banu Abd al-Ashhal. His kunyah was Abu Bishr, and it is also said that his kunyah was Abu al-Rabi'.

Muhammad bin Umar relates that the kunyah of Sayyiduna Abbad bin Bishr bin Waqsh (may Allah be pleased with him) was Abu Bishr, while according to Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Umarah his kunyah was Abu al-Rabi'. He accepted Islam in Madinah at the hands of Sayyiduna Mus'ab bin Umayr (may Allah be pleased with him), and this was before Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted Islam. Sayyiduna Abbad bin Bishr (may Allah be pleased with him) took part in the Battle of Badr and was among those who killed Ka'b bin al-Ashraf. He took part in Uhud, al-Khandaq and all the battles with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He was also present at the Battle of Yamamah, where he displayed great courage and bravery in the fighting, until he was martyred on that very day. His martyrdom was in the year 12 AH, and at that time he was forty-five years old.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that in the tribe of Banu Abd al-Ashhal there were three people than whom no one was better: Sa'd bin Mu'adh, Usayd bin Hudayr and Abbad bin Bishr. Abbad bin Abdullah bin al-Zubayr says: By Allah! My father named me Abbad only because of him (and his greatness). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it. Mention of the virtues of Sayyiduna Abu Dujanah Simak bin Kharashah al-Khazraji (may Allah be pleased with him):

Muhammad bin Umar narrates from his teachers that the name of Sayyiduna Abu Dujanah (may Allah be pleased with him) was Simak bin Kharashah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) established brotherhood between him and Sayyiduna Utbah bin Ghazwan (may Allah be pleased with him). Abu Dujanah (may Allah be pleased with him) took part in the battles of Badr and Uhud, stood firm with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Uhud, and pledged allegiance to him unto death. He also took part in the Battle of Yamamah and was among those who had a share in sending Musaylimah the Liar to Hell. Sayyiduna Abu Dujanah (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred on that same day.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of Uhud the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took a sword in his hand while his Companions were gathered around him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who will take this sword?" They all stretched out their hands, each one saying: I will, I will. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who will take it with its due right?" At this the people held back (because of the gravity of the responsibility). Then Sayyiduna Simak Abu Dujanah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I take it with its due right. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) handed the sword to him, and with it that day he split open the heads of the polytheists.
