[Machine] Abu Talha used to shoot arrows on the day of Uhud, between the Prophet's ﷺ hand and the Prophet's ﷺ back. Abu Talha was a skilled archer, and when he shot, the Prophet ﷺ would raise his head to see where the arrow would land. Abu Talha would lift his chest and say, "O Messenger of Allah, I swear by my father, no arrow will harm you without harming me." Abu Talha would wish to be in front of the Prophet ﷺ and say, "O Messenger of Allah, I am your shield, so command me to do whatever you please."
أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ كَانَ يَرْمِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَلْفَهُ وَكَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ رَامِيًا وَكَانَ إِذَا رَمَى يَرْفَعُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ شَخْصَهُ لَيَنْظُرَ أَيْنَ يَقَعُ سَهْمُهُ وَكَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَرْفَعُ صَدْرَهُ وَيَقُولُ هَكَذَا بِأَبِي أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَا يُصِيبُكَ سَهْمٌ نَحْرِي دُونَ نَحْرِكَ وَكَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَوَدُّ نَفْسَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَا أَجْلَدُ قَوْمِي فَمُرْنِي بِمَا شِئْتَ
