On the Day of Uhud, a molar of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was broken and he was wounded. Blood started pouring down his face, and he started to wipe his face and say: “How can any people prosper if they soak the face of their Prophet with blood when he is calling them to Allah?” Then Allah revealed: “Not for you is the decision.”[3:128]  

ابن ماجة:٤٠٢٧حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ كُسِرَتْ رَبَاعِيَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَشُجَّ فَجَعَلَ الدَّمُ يَسِيلُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ الدَّمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَيَقُولُ كَيْفَ يُفْلِحُ قَوْمٌ خَضَبُوا وَجْهَ نَبِيِّهِمْ بِالدَّمِ وَهُوَ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الأَمْرِ شَىْءٌ}

How will these people attain salvation who have wounded their Prophet and broken his tooth while he called them towards God? At this time, God, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed the Verse:" Thou hast no authority" (iii. 127).  

مسلم:١٧٩١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُسِرَتْ رَبَاعِيَتُهُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَشُجَّ فِي رَأْسِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَسْلُتُ الدَّمَ عَنْهُ وَيَقُولُ كَيْفَ يُفْلِحُ قَوْمٌ شَجُّوا نَبِيَّهُمْ وَكَسَرُوا رَبَاعِيَتَهُ وَهُوَ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ { لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الأَمْرِ شَىْءٌ}

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said on the day of Uhud, while wiping the blood from his face, "How will a people succeed who harmed their prophet and broke their covenant with him, while he was calling them to Allah?"

So Allah revealed, "It is not for you [O Muhammad] to decide; whether He should turn in mercy to them or punish them, indeed, they are wrongdoers." [Surah Al-Imran 3:128]  

أحمد:١٣٦٥٧حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَهُوَ يَسْلُتُ الدَّمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ كَيْفَ يُفْلِحُ قَوْمٌ شَجُّوا نَبِيَّهُمْ وَكَسَرُوا رَبَاعِيَتَهُ وَهُوَ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ} [آل عمران 128]

[Machine] It was narrated that the Prophet ﷺ was struck on his face on the day of Uhud, and his tooth was broken, and he was hit with a stone on his shoulder, causing blood to flow on his face. He wiped it off while saying, "How can a nation succeed when they harm their Prophet, while their Prophet is calling them to Allah?" Then Allah revealed the verse, "You have no power over the affair, or over them. But if they turn away, then your duty is only to convey the message" [Surah Al-Imran 128] until the end of the verse.  

أحمد:١٣٠٨٣حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ شُجَّ فِي وَجْهِهِ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَكُسِرَتْ رَبَاعِيَتُهُ وَرُمِيَ رَمْيَةً عَلَى كَتِفَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ الدَّمُ يَسِيلُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَهُوَ يَمْسَحُهُ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ كَيْفَ تُفْلِحُ أُمَّةٌ فَعَلُوابِنَبِيِّهِمْ ونَبِيُّهُمْ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللهِ فَأَنْزَلَ {لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ} [آل عمران 128] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةَ

[Machine] "Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ was injured on the day of Uhud, and his shield was broken. He began wiping the blood from his face while saying, 'How can a people succeed who have splattered the face of their Prophet with blood while he calls them to their Lord?' Then the following verse was revealed: 'It is not for you [O Muhammad] to decide their fate or guide them. Indeed, they are the wrongdoers.' (Quran 3:128)"  

أحمد:١٢٨٣١حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلٌ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

[Machine] "Indeed, on the day of Uhud, the Prophet ﷺ wiped blood from his face while saying, 'How can a people be successful who hurt their Prophet and break his army, while he is calling them to Allah?' Then Allah revealed, 'You have no say in the matter.'"  

ابن حبّان:٦٥٧٥أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ يَسْلُتُ الدَّمُ عَنْ وَجْهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «كَيْفَ يُفْلِحُ قَوْمٌ شَجُّوا نَبِيَّهُمْ وَكَسَرُوا رَبَاعِيَتَهُ وَهُوَ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ}

[Machine] Anas said that the cheek of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was fractured on the day of Uhud and bled, and he wiped away the blood from his face and said, "How can a people succeed who have smeared the face of their Prophet while he is calling them to Islam?" So Allah revealed, "It is not for you [O Muhammad], to decide a matter. If it had been an immediate decision, they would have been judged immediately. But to Allah belongs the outcome of [all] affairs. Or He will give them repentance and forgiveness, for indeed they have been wrongdoers." [Quran 3:128] The wording is from Khalid.
