Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: When the people scattered away from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Uhud, eleven men of the Ansar and Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaydullah (may Allah be pleased with him) remained with him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) was climbing the mountain when the polytheists caught up with them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is there no one to deal with these?" Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaydullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! I am here." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Talhah! Stay where you are." Then a man of the Ansar said: "O Messenger of Allah! I am here." So he went forward to fight them, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) kept climbing with the rest of his companions. Then that Ansari was martyred, and the polytheists again caught up with him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said once more: "Is there no one to deal with these?" Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said the same as before, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him the same reply as before. Then another man of the Ansar said: "O Messenger of Allah! I am here." He (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him permission, and he too fought with all his strength like his companion before him, while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions kept climbing. Then he too was martyred, and the polytheists came close to them. In this way the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) kept saying the same words as before; Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) would say: "O Messenger of Allah! I am here," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would hold him back; and a man of the Ansar would ask permission to fight, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would give him permission, and he would fight like those before him (and be martyred), until no one was left with him (peace and blessings be upon him) except Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him), and the polytheists surrounded the two of them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who is there for these?" Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I am." Then he fought as much as all his companions before him had fought together, and some of his fingertips were wounded, and (from the pain) the word "Hass!" escaped his mouth. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Talhah! Had you said 'Bismillah' (In the name of Allah) or remembered Allah, the angels would have lifted you up while the people watched, until they entered with you into the expanse of the sky." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) climbed up and reached their companions, who had gathered there.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abu al-Zubayr except Umarah bin Ghaziyyah, and Yahya is alone in narrating it."
