Musnad of Anas bin Malik
Musnad Abi Ya'la 3983 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : صَوْتُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ فِي الْجَيْشِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ فِئَةٍ ، وَكَانَ إِذَا لَقِيَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - جَثَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، وَقَالَ : نَفْسِي لِنَفْسِكَ الْفِدَاءُ ، وَوَجْهِي لِوَجْهِكَ الْوِقَاءُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: "The voice of Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) in the army is better than a whole company." And whenever Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) faced the enemy alongside the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he would kneel down in front of him (peace and blessings be upon him) and say: "My life is a ransom for your life, and my face is a shield for your face."
