حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو يَعْقُوبَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسٌ ، أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ ،قَالَ : " غَشِيَنَا النُّعَاسُ وَنَحْنُ فِي مَصَافِّنَا يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ، قَالَ : فَجَعَلَ سَيْفِي يَسْقُطُ مِنْ يَدِي ، وَآخُذُهُ وَيَسْقُطُ وَآخُذُهُ " .
Narrated Abu Talha: Slumber overtook us during the battle of Uhud while we were in the front files. My sword would fall from my hand and I would pick it up, and again it would fall down and I would pick it up again.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
After severe distress, Allah Ta'ala causing drowsiness to overcome the Muslims was an unexpected blessing and extraordinary assistance.
Through drowsiness, both physical and mental tranquility descends.
The fatigue of the body is removed, and sorrows are suddenly forgotten; freshness and vitality are renewed in the body.
Something similar happened with the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in) during the Battle of Uhud.
