حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ جُرْحِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ، فَقَالَ : " جُرِحَ وَجْهُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكُسِرَتْ رَبَاعِيَتُهُ وَهُشِمَتِ الْبَيْضَةُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ، فَكَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَام تَغْسِلُ الدَّمَ ، وَعَلِيٌّ يُمْسِكُ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّ الدَّمَ لَا يَزِيدُ إِلَّا كَثْرَةً أَخَذَتْ حَصِيرًا فَأَحْرَقَتْهُ حَتَّى صَارَ رَمَادًا ، ثُمَّ أَلْزَقَتْهُ فَاسْتَمْسَكَ الدَّمُ .
Narrated Sahl: That he was asked about the wound of the Prophet on the day (of the battle) of Uhud. He said, "The face of the Prophet as wounded and one of his front teeth as broken and the helmet over his head was smashed. Fatima washed of the blood while `Ali held water. When she saw that bleeding was increasing continuously, she burnt a mat (of date-palm leaves) till it turned into ashes which she put over the wound and thus the bleeding ceased."

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.

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.
