Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4261 — The Battle of Uhud

أَخْبَرَنَا حَمْزَةُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، يَعْنِي : ابْنَ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى الْمَازِنِيِّ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ فَخُمِشَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَكُسِرَتْ ثَنِيَّتُهُ ، فَجَاءَهُ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ ، فَجَعَلَ يَبْكِي ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ائْتِنِي بِمَاءٍ فَأَتَاهُ بِمَاءٍ فِي جَحْفَةٍ مِنَ الْمِهْرَاسِ ، فَلَمَّا أَدْنَاهُ مِنْهُ عَافَهُ ، فَجَعَلَ يَغْسِلُ عَنْهُ الدَّمَ وَيَقُولُ : اشْتَدَّ غَضَبُ اللهِ عَلَى قَوْمٍ كَلَمُوا وَجْهَ نَبِيِّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ : انْظُرُوا مَا صَنَعَ سَعْدُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ ، فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رُمْحًا شَرْعَى فِيهِ ، فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَنْظُرَ مَا صَنَعْتَ ، فَقَالَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : اقْرَأْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَأَخْبِرْهُ بِأَنِّي بِآخِرِ رَمَقٍ ، وَاقْرَأْ عَلَى قَوْمِكَ السَّلَامَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ : إِنْ هَلَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمِنْكُمْ شُفْرٌ تَطْرِفُ ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا عُذْرَ لَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ تَعَالَى .
ثُمَّ قَالَ : مَنْ يَأْخُذُ هَذَا السَّيْفَ بِحَقِّهِ ؟ قَالَ : فَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ يُحَدِّثُهُ الزُّبَيْرُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَنَا ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي مَرَّةً ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا أَعْرَضَ عَنِّي إِلَّا مِنْ شَرٍّ هُوَ فِيَّ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : مَنْ يَأْخُذُ هَذَا السَّيْفَ بِحَقِّهِ ؟ فَقُلْتُ : أَنَا ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا ، فَقَالَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : أَنَا آخُذُهُ ، فَأَضْرِبُ بِهِ حَتَّى يَنْثَنِيَ ، أَوْ كَلِمَةً نَحْوَهَا ، فَأَعْطَاهُ السَّيْفَ ، قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ : فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ لِأَنْظُرَ مَا يَصْنَعُ ؟ فَجَعَلَ لَا يَأْتِي رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِلَّا قَتَلَهُ ، فَأَتَى رَجُلًا كَانَ عَاطِبًا فِي الْقِتَالِ فَقَتَلَهُ ، وَأَتَى عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ وَهِيَ تَقُولُ :
إِنْ تُقْبِلُوا نُعَانِقْ وَنَفْرِشُ النَّمَارِقْ أَوْ تُدْبِرُوا نُفَارِقْ
فِرَاقَ غَيْرِ وَامِقْ فَشَهَرَ عَلَيْهَا السَّيْفَ ، ثُمَّ كَفَّ يَدَهُ عَنْهَا ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا أَبَا دُجَانَةَ ، فَعَلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، حَتَّى أَتَيْتَ الْمَرْأَةَ فَشَهَرْتَ عَلَيْهَا السَّيْفَ ثُمَّ كَفَفْتَ يَدَكَ عَنْهَا ؟ قَالَ : أَكْرَمْتُ سَيْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْهَا .
It is narrated from Amr bin Yahya al-Mazini that on the day of the Battle of Uhud, the blessed face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was wounded and his (peace and blessings be upon him) front tooth was also broken. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came to him (peace and blessings be upon him), bent over him (peace and blessings be upon him) and began to weep (out of utmost love and grief). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Bring me water." So he brought water filled in a shield from al-Mihras (a rock or hollow on the mountain where water collects), but when he brought the water near him (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked using it (because of its smell or condition). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) began washing the blood from his face with that water, saying: 'Ishtadda ghadabu-llahi 'ala qawmin kalamu wajha nabiyyihi' (The wrath of Allah Almighty has become most severe upon a people who wounded the blessed face of His Prophet). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Look into the condition of Sa'd bin al-Rabi', what has happened to him, for I saw twelve spears pointed at him (or piercing his body)." The messenger of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reached him and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has sent me to see how you are. He said (while overwhelmed with wounds): Convey my salam to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and tell him that I am at my last breath; and also convey my salam to your people and tell them: "If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is killed while a single eye among you still blinks (that is, while even one of you remains alive), you will have no excuse (for saving your own lives) before Allah Almighty."
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (raising a sword) said: 'Man ya'khudhu hadha al-sayfa bi-haqqihi?' (Who will take this sword with its due right?) The narrator says that Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him), relating this incident about himself, says: I said: O Messenger of Allah, I will take it; but he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from me. I said (to myself): He (peace and blessings be upon him) has turned away from me only because of some fault in me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the same question again, and I again said that I would take it, but he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from me two or three times. Then Sayyiduna Abu Dujanah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will take it, and its right is that I strike (the enemy) with it (such blows) that it bends, or he said words to that effect; so he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him the sword. Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I followed him to see how he would fulfil the right of that sword. Every polytheist he came upon, he killed, until he reached a man who was proving very deadly in the battle, and he struck him down too. Then he reached a woman (Hind bint Utbah) who was reciting these verses: 'In tuqbilu nu'aniq, wa nafrishu al-namariq, aw tudbiru nufariq, firaqa ghayri wamiq' (If you advance (on the field), we will embrace you and spread out cushions; and if you turn your backs, we will part from you, a parting without any affection or love). He drew his sword over that woman but then held back his hand. I said (later): O Abu Dujanah, you did such-and-such, until when you reached that woman, why did you hold back your hand after drawing the sword? He replied: "I honoured the sword of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) too much to wield it against a woman (so weak a being)."
