حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ ، قَالَ : " لَمَّا كُسِرَتْ بَيْضَةُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَأُدْمِيَ وَجْهُهُ وَكُسِرَتْ رَبَاعِيَتُهُ ، وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ يَخْتَلِفُ بِالْمَاءِ فِي الْمِجَنِّ ، وَكَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ تَغْسِلُهُ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ الدَّمَ يَزِيدُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ كَثْرَةً عَمَدَتْ إِلَى حَصِيرٍ ، فَأَحْرَقَتْهَا وَأَلْصَقَتْهَا عَلَى جُرْحِهِ فَرَقَأَ الدَّمُ " .
Narrated Sahl: When the helmet of the Prophet was smashed on his head and blood covered his face and one of his front teeth got broken, `Ali brought the water in his shield and Fatima the Prophet's daughter) washed him. But when she saw that the bleeding increased more by the water, she took a mat, burnt it, and placed the ashes on the wound of the Prophet and so the blood stopped oozing out.

Hadith Commentary:
Utbah bin Abi Waqqas, the rejected one, was the person who injured the blessed tooth. He came near to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and threw a stone, but immediately, Hatib bin Abi Balta’ah (radi Allahu anhu) struck him with a single blow and severed his neck.
And Abdullah bin Qami’ah, the rejected one, also threw stones.
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “May Allah destroy you.”
And so it happened: a mountain goat came out and struck him with its horns in such a way that he was torn to pieces.
Truly, how can those people ever attain success whose hands wounded the head of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) of their own time?

Hadith Commentary:
➊
According to this hadith, the shield was used for another purpose besides protection: Ali (radi Allahu anhu) would fill it with water so that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)'s wound could be washed. It is also understood from this that the shield was deep in the middle.
➋
Seeking treatment for illness and pain is not contrary to reliance (tawakkul) upon Allah, because the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did so, and he was the one who relied upon Allah more than anyone else.
In any case, Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah)'s purpose here is to show that protection can be sought by means of a shield.

Hadith Commentary:
The most distressing incident in the Battle of Uhud was that the Noble Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was injured and wounded.
The wound to his (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) face was inflicted by Ibn Qami’ah, and the injury to his teeth was caused by Utbah ibn Abi Waqqas, while the one who broke the helmet (khud) on the blessed head of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was Abdullah ibn Hisham.
The "khud" is an iron helmet that is worn on the head for protection.
From this hadith, the permissibility of wearing it is established.
The detailed circumstances of the Battle of Uhud will be discussed in the Book of Maghazi, in sha Allah.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The purpose of Imam Bukhari rahimahullah is to show that the use of weapons of war is permissible, and this does not contradict reliance (tawakkul) upon Allah. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself wore a helmet on his blessed head.
The word "khud" refers specifically to the iron cap that is worn in battle to protect the head.
➋
From this hadith, the permissibility of wearing a helmet is established.
Although such weapons cannot save a person from death, nevertheless, the use of means and resources is extremely necessary so that doing so becomes a cause of strength in the hearts.
And Allah knows best.
