It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In the army, the voice of Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) is better than that of many people. Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) would stand as a shield in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time of battle, and while shaking his quiver, he would say: My face is a protection for your face, and my self is sacrificed for your self.
