Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 16064 — On the day of the Battle of Uhud

Sayyiduna Qatadah bin al-Nu'man (may Allah be pleased with him) said: On the day of the Battle of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who will take this sword and fulfil its right?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: I will, O Messenger of Allah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sit down." So he sat down. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said a second time: "Who will take this sword and fulfil its right?" Then Sayyiduna Abu Dujanah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up the second time, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him his sword, Dhul-Fiqar. Sayyiduna Abu Dujanah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood, tied a red band over his eyes, raised his eyebrows above his eyes out of pride (martial zeal), then walked ahead of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with the sword.
