Hadith 5123

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عُقْبَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُقْبَةَ وَكَانَ مَوْلًى مِنْ أَهْلِ فَارِسَ , قَالَ : " شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُحُدًا ، فَضَرَبْتُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، فَقُلْتُ : خُذْهَا مِنِّي وَأَنَا الْغُلَامُ الْفَارِسِيُّ ، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : فَهَلَّا قُلْتَ خُذْهَا مِنِّي وَأَنَا الْغُلَامُ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ " .
Narrated Abu Uqbah: Abdur Rahman ibn Abu Uqbah quoted his father Abu Uqbah who was a client from the people of Persia as saying: I was present at Uhud along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and on smiting one of the polytheists I said: Take this from me who is the young Persian. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then turned to me and said: Why did you not say: Take this from me who is the young Ansari?

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
This narration is weak.
However, one should not ascribe oneself to, nor express pride in, disbelievers, polytheists, innovators, or ignorant communities.
Rather, expressing ascription to Islam, monotheism (tawhid), the Sunnah, and the people of knowledge is desirable and was the practice among the predecessors (salaf).
The undersigned translator’s father, Shaykh Abdul Aziz Saeedi rahimahullah, used to say:
“I wish to give such prominence to the Saeedi ascription among my children that our own tribal affiliation is forgotten.”
The aforementioned ascription is derived from the well-known Saeediya Madrasah of Delhi,
which was established by Hazrat Mawlana Abu Saeed Muhammad Sharafuddin Muhaddith Dehlavi rahimahullah.
