"My paternal uncle was absent from the fighting of Badr, so he said: 'I was absent from the first fight the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fought with idolaters, so if Allah grants me to participate in a fight with the idolaters, then Allah will see what I will do!' So on the Day of Uhud, when the Muslims were driven back he said: 'O Allah! Indeed I am innocent before you of what these people - meaning the idolaters - have done, and I beg of You to excuse these people for what they have done - meaning the Companions. Then he went forward and met up with Sa'd. He said: 'O my brother! Whatever you do, I am with you!' But he was not able to do the same as him. He was found with more than eighty wounds, between blows with the sword, thrusts of a spear, or arrow wounds. We would say: 'It was about him and his companions that (the following) was revealed: 'Of them some have fulfilled their vow, and some of them are still waiting, but they have never changed in the least (33:23). (One of the narrators) Yazid said: "Meaning this Ayah."  

عَنْ أَوَّلِ قِتَالٍ قَاتَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لَئِنِ اللَّهُ أَشْهَدَنِي قِتَالاً لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ لَيَرَيَنَّ اللَّهُ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ انْكَشَفَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا جَاءَ بِهِ هَؤُلاَءِ يَعْنِي الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَأَعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا يَصْنَعُ هَؤُلاَءِ يَعْنِي أَصْحَابَهُ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ فَلَقِيَهُ سَعْدٌ فَقَالَ يَا أَخِي مَا فَعَلْتَ أَنَا مَعَكَ فَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ أَصْنَعَ مَا صَنَعَ فَوُجِدَ فِيهِ بِضْعٌ وَثَمَانُونَ مِنْ ضَرْبَةٍ بِسَيْفٍ وَطَعْنَةٍ بِرُمْحٍ وَرَمْيَةٍ بِسَهْمٍ فَكُنَّا نَقُولُ فِيهِ وَفِي أَصْحَابِهِ نَزَلَتْ (فمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ ) قَالَ يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي هَذِهِ الآيَةَ

عَنْ أَوَّلِ قِتَالٍ قَاتَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لَئِنِ اللهُ أَشْهَدَنِي قِتَالًا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ لَيَرَيَنَّ اللهُ مَا أَصْنَعُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ انْكَشَفَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا صَنَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ يَعْنِي أَصْحَابَهُ وَأَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا جَاءَ بِهِ هَؤُلَاءِ يَعْنِي الْمُشْرِكِينَ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ فَلَقِيَهُ سَعْدٌ لِأُخْرَاهَا دُونَ أُحُدٍ وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ بِبَغْدَادَ بِأُخْرَاهَا دُونَ أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ أَنَا مَعَكَ قَالَ سَعْدٌ فَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ أَصْنَعَ مَا صَنَعَ فَوُجِدَ فِيهِ بِضْعٌ وَثَمَانُونَ مِنْ بَيْنِ ضَرْبَةٍ بِسَيْفٍ وَطَعْنَةٍ بِرُمْحٍ وَرَمْيَةٍ بِسَهْمٍ قَالَ فَكُنَّا نَقُولُ فِيهِ وَفِي أَصْحَابِهِ نَزَلَتْ {فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ} [الأحزاب 23]  

[Machine] About the first battle of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ against the pagans, when they said: "If Allah witnesses me with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Allah will see what I will do." And when it was the day of Uhud, he met the pagans and the people were defeated, so he said, "O Allah, I apologize to you for what these Muslims did, and I declare my innocence to you from what these pagans have done." Then he took a sword and met Sa'd bin Muadh and said, "O Sa'd, indeed, I can smell the fragrance of Paradise from Uhud." So he went and was killed and he was not recognized until his sister recognized him by his beautiful face, and he had been stabbed eighty-two times with a spear, struck with a sword, and shot with an arrow.  

عَنْ أَوَّلِ قِتَالِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لَئِنْ أَشْهَدَنِي اللهُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيَرَيَنَّ اللهُ مَا أَصْنَعُ» فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ لَقِيَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَهُزِمَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا صَنَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ يَعْنِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَأَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا جَاءَ بِهِ هَؤُلَاءِ» يَعْنِي الْمُشْرِكِينَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ السَّيْفَ فَلَقِيَ سَعْدَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ «أَيْ سَعْدُ إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ الْجَنَّةِ دُونَ أُحُدٍ» فَمَضَى فَقُتِلَ فَمَا عُرِفَ حَتَّى عَرَفَتْهُ أُخْتُهُ مِنْ حُسْنِ بَنَانِهِ وَإِذَا بِهِ بِضْعٌ وَثَمَانُونَ مِنْ طَعْنَةٍ بِرُمْحٍ وَضَرْبَةٍ بِسَيْفٍ وَرَمْيَةٍ بِسَهْمٍ  

"غَابَ عَمِّى أنَسُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ عَنْ قِتَالِ بَدْرٍ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَ: غِبْتُ عَنْ أوَّل قِتَالٍ قَاتَلَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ المُشْرِكِينَ لَئنْ أَشْهَدَنى الله قِتَالًا لَيَريَنَّ الله مَا أصْنَعُ؛ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ انْكَشَفَ النَّاسُ، فَقَال: الَّلهُمَّ إِنِّى أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا جَاءَ بِهِ هَؤُلاَءِ، يَعْنِى المُشْرِكِينَ، وَأَعْتَذِرُ إِليْكَ مِمّا صنع هؤلاء يعنى المسلمين، ثم مشى بسيفه فلقيه سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ: أىْ سَعْدُ: وَالَّذِى نَفْسِى بِيَدِهِ إِنِّى لأجِد ريح الجنة دون أحد وَاهًا لِرِيح الجَنَّةِ (*)،
