The virtues of Talhah bin Ubaydullah al-Taymi (may Allah be pleased with him)

Ubaydullah bin al-Walid al-Wassafi narrates from his father that when Amr bin Jurmuz martyred Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him), his wife Atikah bint Zayd bin Amr bin Nufayl (may Allah be pleased with her) recited verses (and she was among the eminent women who had emigrated). She was saying: "Ibn Jurmuz betrayed, on the day of the encounter, a great horseman who never fled the battlefield. O Amr! Had you woken him or alerted him, you would have found him such that neither his fingers nor his hand shook. May your mother weep for you! Did you ever in the past overcome anyone like him from among those who come and go morning and evening? How many hard battles did he take part in from which a coward like you could not move him!"
Mention of the virtues of Talhah bin Ubaydullah al-Taymi (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Urwah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaydullah bin Uthman bin Amr bin Ka'b bin Sa'd bin Taym bin Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him) was in Syria (when the Battle of Badr took place). He spoke to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about his share (of the spoils), so he (peace and blessings be upon him) assigned him his share. He asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Will I have a reward as well? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And your reward is (established) from the day of Badr."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: The mothers of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, Sayyiduna Uthman, Sayyiduna Talhah, Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir, Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf and Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them) accepted Islam, and Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) and his mother also accepted Islam during the lifetime (of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri that Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaydullah bin Uthman bin Amr bin Ka'b bin Sa'd bin Taym bin Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived from Syria after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had returned from Badr. He spoke to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about his share (of the spoils), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Your share is (established) for you." He said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Is there a reward for me as well? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And your reward is for you as well."
