Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 10079

وَعَنْ قَتَادَةَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ : أُهْدِيَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَوْسٌ ، فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ، فَرَمَيْتُ بِهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَتَّى انْدَقَّتْ سِنَّتُهَا ، وَلَمْ أَزَلْ عَلَى مَقَامِي نُصْبَ وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَلْقَى السِّهَامَ بِوَجْهِي ، كُلَّمَا مَالَ سَهْمٌ مِنْهَا إِلَى وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مَيَّلْتُ رَأْسِي لِأَقِيَ وَجْهَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِلَا رَمْيٍ أَرْمِيهِ ، فَكَانَ آخِرُهَا سَهْمًا بَدَرَتْ مِنْهَا حَدَقَتِي بِكَفِّي ، فَسَعَيْتُ بِهَا فِي كَفِّي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَلَمَّا رَآهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي كَفِّي دَمَعَتْ عَيْنَاهُ ، فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ قَتَادَةَ قَدْ أَوْجَهَ نَبِيَّكَ بِوَجْهِهِ ، فَاجْعَلْهَا أَحْسَنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَأَحَدَّهُمَا نَظَرًا " ، فَكَانَتْ أَحْسَنَ عَيْنَيْهِ ، وَأَحَدَّهُمَا نَظَرًا .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ مَنْ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ .
Sayyiduna Qatadah bin al-Nu'man (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A bow was given to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a gift, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave it to me on the day of Uhud. I shot arrows with it in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until its string broke. I stayed in my place and remained in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), to shield the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from the arrows with my face. Whenever an arrow veered towards the face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I would turn my head towards it, so that I could shield the face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) without shooting back. The last of them was an arrow that made my eyeball fall out into my palm. I ran with it in my palm to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw it in my palm, tears flowed from his eyes, and he said: "O Allah! Qatadah has shielded Your Prophet with his own face, so make it the more beautiful of his two eyes and the sharper of them in sight." The narrator says: So it was the more beautiful of his two eyes and the sharper of them in sight.
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains a narrator whom I do not know.
