[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Stand up and enter a paradise whose width is that of the heavens and the earth." Umair bin Al-Humam Al-Ansari said, "O Messenger of Allah, is its width really that of the heavens and the earth?" He replied, "Yes." Umair said, "Wow, wow!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "What led you to say 'wow, wow'?" Umair replied, "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, it is only the hope that I may be one of its people." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, you are one of its people." He then took out dates from his pocket and started eating them, saying, "If I live until I finish eating these dates, then surely it will be a long life." He then threw the rest of the dates that he had with him and fought until he was killed.
رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُومُوا إِلَى جَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ قَالَ يَقُولُ عُمَيْرُ بْنُ الْحُمَامِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ بَخٍ بَخٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا يَحْمِلُكَ عَلَى قَوْلِكَ بَخٍ بَخٍ؟ قَالَ لَا وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِلَّا رَجَاءَ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا قَالَ فَأَخْرَجَ تَمَرَاتٍ مِنْ قَرَنِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُنَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَئِنْ أَنَا حَيِيتُ حَتَّى آكُلَ مِنْ تَمَرَاتِي هَذِهِ إِنَّهَا لَحَيَاةٌ طَوِيلَةٌ قَالَ فَرَمَى بِمَا كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنَ التَّمْرِ ثُمَّ قَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى قُتِلَ
On the day of the battle of Uhud, a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Can you tell me where I will be if I should get martyred?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "In Paradise." The man threw away some dates he was carrying in his hand, and fought till he was martyred . (Using translation from Bukhārī 4046)
رَجُلٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قُتِلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيْنَ أَنَا؟ قَالَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَأَلْقَى تُمَيْرَاتٍ كُنَّ فِي يَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ
[Machine] About the first battle fought by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ against the polytheists, he said, "If Allah witnesses me in a battle, He will show what I am capable of." So on the day of Uhud, the Muslims were exposed, and he said, "O Allah, I apologize to You for what these people, referring to the polytheists, have done, and I excuse myself to You for what these people, referring to the Muslims, have done." Then he walked with his sword and met Sa`d bin Mu`adh, who said, "Who is Sa`d? By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, I can smell the fragrance of Paradise from Uhud." Sa`d said, "What could I do, O Messenger of Allah, when I saw what happened?" So we found him among the dead with eighty-two wounds from sword strikes, spear stabs, and arrow shots. His sister recognized him by his wounds. Anas said, "We used to say that this verse was revealed about him and his companions." In my book, it is mentioned that Anas bin An-Nadr said this.
عَنْ أَوَّلِ قِتَالٍ قَاتَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لَئِنْ أَشْهَدَنِي اللهُ قِتَالًا لَيَرَيَنَّ اللهُ مَا أَصْنَعُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ انْكَشَفَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا جَاءَ بِهِ هَؤُلَاءِ يَعْنِي الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَأَعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا صَنَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ يَعْنِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثُمَّ مَشَى بِسَيْفِهِ فَلَقِيَهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ أَيْ سَعْدٌ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ الْجِنَّةِ دُونَ أُحُدٍ وَاهًا لِرِيحِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ سَعْدٌ فَمَا اسْتَطَعْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا صَنَعَ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ بَيْنَ الْقَتْلَى وَبِهِ بِضْعٌ وَثَمَانُونَ جِرَاحَةً مِنْ ضَرْبَةٍ بِسَيْفٍ وَطَعْنَةٍ بِرُمْحٍ وَرَمْيَةٍ بِسَهْمٍ وَقَدْ مَثَّلُوا بِهِ حَتَّى عَرَفَتْهُ أُخْتُهُ بِبَنَانِهِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ كُنَّا نَقُولُ أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللهَ عَلَيْهِ} [الأحزاب 23] فِيهِ وَفِي أَصْحَابِهِ كَذَا فِي كِتَابِي وَالصَّوَابُ أَنَسُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ
Whoso turns them away from us will attain Paradise or will be my Companion in Paradise. A man from the Ansar came forward and fought (the enemy) until he was killed. The enemy advanced and overwhelmed him again and he repeated the words: Whoso turns them away, from us will attain Paradise or will be my Companion in Paradise. A man from the Arsar came forward and fought until he was killed. This state continued until the seven Ansar were killed (one after the other). Now, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to his two Companions: We have not done justice to our Companions. (Using translation from Muslim 1789)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أُفْرِدَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فِي سَبْعَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَرَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَلَمَّا رَهِقُوهُ قَالَ مَنْ يَرُدُّهُمْ عَنَّا وَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ أَوْ هُوَ رَفِيقِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ؟ فَتَقَدَّمَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ ثُمَّ رَهِقُوهُ أَيْضًا فَقَالَ مَنْ يَرُدُّهُمْ عَنَّا وَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ أَوْ هُوَ رَفِيقِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ؟ فَتَقَدَّمَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ السَّبْعَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِصَاحِبَيْهِ مَا أَنْصَفْنَا أَصْحَابَنَا
[Machine] He continued riding his horse until he reached the sea, then he embarked and fought until he was killed.
سَنَنِهِ يَعْنِي فَرَسَهُ حَتَّى أَصْلَى بِحَرِّهَا فَحَمَلَ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ
[Machine] "Leave me alone, O Khalid, for indeed you had a special position with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I and my father were among the most devoted people to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . So he continued walking until he was killed."
خَلِّ عَنِّي يَا خَالِدُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَتْ لَكَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَابِقَةٌ وَإِنِّي وَأَبِي كُنَّا مِنْ أَشَدِّ النَّاسِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَشَى حَتَّى قُتِلَ
[Machine] "Raise me with your spears and throw me towards them, so they lifted him with their spears and threw him from behind the wall, and they realized that he had killed ten of them."
ارْفَعُونِي بِرِمَاحِكُمْ فَأَلْقُونِي إِلَيْهِمْ فَرَفَعُوهُ بِرِمَاحِهِمْ فَأَلْقَوهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْحَائِطِ فَأَدْرَكُوهُ قَدْ قَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ عَشَرَةً
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Paradise is beneath the shades of swords." A man with a disheveled appearance stood up and asked, "O Abu Musa, did you hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying this?" He replied, "O Allah, yes." The man then returned to his companions, greeted them, and then broke the sheath of his sword, tightened his grip on it, fought the enemy until he was killed.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْجَنَّةُ تَحْتَ ظِلَالِ السُّيُوفِ قَالَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ رَثُّ الْهَيْئَةِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ هَذَا؟ قَالَ اللهُمَّ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ كَسَرَ جَفْنَ سَيْفِهِ وَشَدَّ عَلَى الْعَدُوِّ ثُمَّ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ
