[Machine] It is said that Abu Bahir was a noble and respected person among his people during the pre-Islamic era and in Islam. He was considered one of their intellectuals and had his own opinions. He was also a scribe, just like his father Al-Hudhayr al-Katib before him. Al-Hudhayr was the leader of the Aws tribe on the day of Bu'ath (a battle) and he was killed on that day. Usaid bin Hudhayr was one of the seventy Ansar (helpers) who pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the night of Al-Aqaba according to the narrations of all narrators. He was also one of the twelve leaders and was a brother to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ between Usaid bin Hudhayr and Zayd bin Haritha. Usaid did not actually participate in the Battle of Badr, nor did he or others from among the great companions participate in Badr itself, because they did not anticipate that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would engage in a battle or fight. However, Usaid did participate in the Battle of Uhud and on that day he received seven wounds. He remained steadfast with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the people fled. He also witnessed the Battle of the Trench and all the other events with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . (This information was omitted by Al-Dhahabi in his summarization due to its weakness.)
