Hazrat Abu Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him), who was a freed slave of the people of Persia, says: At the time of the Battle of Uhud, I was present with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I attacked a man from among the polytheists and said, "Watch out, for I am a Persian youth." This voice also reached the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why did you not say, 'Watch out, for I am an Ansari youth'?"
