Hazrat Abu Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that in those battles in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself participated, there were some days (such as in the Battle of Uhud) when, except for Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him), no one else remained with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). (The narrator says) This statement was made by both Hazrat Talha and Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with them) themselves.
