Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39548 — What Abu Bakr (Ibn Abi Shaybah)

It is narrated from Ikrimah that on the day of Uhud the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was wounded in his blessed face, and one of his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed front teeth was broken. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was parched by thirst to the point of exhaustion, until he (peace and blessings be upon him) began to sink onto his knees, and his (peace and blessings be upon him) Companions became separated from him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Ubayy bin Khalaf came, demanding his blood for his brother Umayyah bin Khalaf, and said: "Where is that man who claims to be a prophet? Let him come out to fight me, for if he is a prophet, he will kill me." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give me the spear." The Companions said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Do you have the strength to move? (That is, you are thirsty.)" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, I have asked Allah Almighty to give me to drink through his blood." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) took the spear and walked towards him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) struck him with the spear and threw him from his mount. The companions of Ubayy bin Khalaf carried him and rescued him, and they said to him: "We do not think anything has happened to you." He replied: "He (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) has asked Allah Almighty to be given to drink through my blood. I feel such pain that, if it were upon the tribes of Rabi'ah and Mudar, it would be enough for them."
