It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the polytheists surrounded the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of the Battle of Uhud, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who will drive them back from us, and he will be my companion in Paradise?" Hearing this, a man from the Ansar stood up and fought until he was martyred. Then another man stood up and kept pushing them back, until in this way seven men were martyred one after another. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said (on seeing this great self-sacrifice and the successive martyrdoms of the Ansar): "We have not done justice to these (Ansari) companions of ours (in that they have all been martyred)."
