[Machine] He was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the Day of Badr, and one of the horsemen belonged to Marthad ibn Abi Marthad, and the other belonged to Zubair. Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in the summary.  

كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَرَسَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا لِمَرْثَدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْثَدٍ وَالْآخَرُ لِلزُّبَيْرِ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] Some people from the tribe of Adal and Qara'a, who were considered the emissaries of Jadila, came to the Prophet ﷺ after the Battle of Uhud and said, "We have accepted Islam in our land, so please send some of your companions to teach us the Quran and educate us about Islam." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent six people with them, including Marthad ibn Abi Marthad, the ally of Hamza ibn Abdul-Muttalib, who was their leader, Khalid ibn Al-Bukayr Al-Laithi, the ally of Bani Adi, Abdullah ibn Tarik Al-Zafri , Zaid ibn Dathina, Hubayb ibn Adi, and Asim ibn Thabit ibn Abi Al-Aflah. They left with their leader, Marthad ibn Abi Marthad, and when they were returning, they were attacked by a group led by Hudhail. The people had swords in their hands, so Hudhail tried to deceive them, but the people took out their swords and prepared to fight. They said, "O Allah, we don't want to kill you, but we want to take some of the people of Makkah as captives." They reminded them of the covenant and agreement they had made with Allah. So Asim, Marthad, and Khalid fought until they were killed, and they said, "By Allah, we will never accept a treaty or contract with a polytheist."

[Machine] That Marthad was martyred before his father, my grand father Marthad, at the age of eight years. Indeed, my grandfather Marthad died on his bed in Medina during the caliphate of Abu Bakr in the year twelve. I made an effort to seek a hadith narrated by Marthad from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , but I only found the hadith  

أَنَّ مَرْثَدَ اسْتُشْهِدَ قَبْلَ أَبِيهِ أَبِي مَرْثَدٍ بِثَمَانِ سِنِينَ فَإِنَّ أَبَا مَرْثَدٍ مَاتَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي خِلَافَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ سَنَةَ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ جَهِدْتُ فِي طَلَبِ حَدِيثٍ يُسْنِدُهُ مَرْثَدٌ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ إِلَّا الْحَدِيثَ الَّذِي  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you want your prayers to be accepted, then your best individuals should lead the prayer, for they are your representatives between you and your Lord Almighty."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ سَرَّكُمْ أَنْ تُقْبَلَ صَلَاتُكُمْ فَلْيَؤُمَّكُمْ خِيَارُكُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ وَفْدُكُمْ فِيمَا بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ رَبِّكُمْ ﷻ»
