Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the day of the Battle of Uhud, a man came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah!

➊
Regarding the Battle of Badr, it is also narrated about Hazrat Umair bin Hamam (radi Allahu anhu) that he took some dates in his hand and began to eat them. Then he said:
“If I remain alive until I finish eating these dates, then this life of mine will be considered very long.” Then he leapt into the battle and attained the rank of martyrdom (shahadah).

From these ahadith, it becomes evident the true and everlasting love the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma‘in) had for the religion of Islam.
