Musnad of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 546 — Sayyiduna Ali said: On the day of the Battle
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ الْعُقَيْلِيُّ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : لَمَّا انْجَلَى النَّاسُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ، نَظَرْتُ فِي الْقَتْلَى فَلَمْ أَرَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ لِيَفِرَّ ، وَمَا أَرَاهُ فِي الْقَتْلَى ، وَلَكِنْ أَرَى اللهَ غَضِبَ عَلَيْنَا بِمَا صَنَعْنَا فَرَفَعَ نَبِيَّهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَمَا فِيَّ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ حَتَّى أُقْتَلَ ، فَكَسَرْتُ جَفْنَ سَيْفِي ثُمَّ حَمَلْتُ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَأَفْرَجُوا لِي ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَهُمْ .
It is narrated from Ikrimah (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "On the day of the Battle of Uhud, when the people scattered from around the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I searched (for him (peace and blessings be upon him)) among the slain, but I did not see the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So I said (to myself): By Allah! He (peace and blessings be upon him) was not one to turn his back and flee, and I do not see him (peace and blessings be upon him) among the slain either. Rather, I think that Allah Almighty became angry with us because of what we did and has raised His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (up to Himself). So now there is nothing better for me than to fight (the enemy) until I am killed. Then I broke the scabbard of my sword and launched a fierce attack on the band of polytheists, and they gave way before me, and suddenly I found the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (present) among them."
