It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) was standing in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) shooting arrows. Sometimes, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would raise his head to look at the shower of arrows, Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) would shield his chest so that he could protect the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and would say, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), my chest is before your chest."
