It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: In the army, the voice of Abu Talhah alone is better than the voice of the whole group. During battle, Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) would kneel in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), scatter the arrows from his quiver, and say: O Messenger of Allah! My face is the shield for your face, and my life is sacrificed for you.
