It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him), who was a Persian slave, that he said: I was with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Battle of Uhud. I struck a polytheist with great force and said: "Taste this, I am a Persian boy." When this reached the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "Why did you not say, 'Taste this, I am an Ansari boy'?"
