[Machine] "When the polytheists oppressed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who was among seven of the Ansar and two men from Quraysh, he said, 'Who will rid us of them while being my companion in Paradise?' A man from the Ansar took that burden and fought until he was killed, but when they became oppressive once again, he said, 'Who will rid us of them while being my companion in Paradise?' and he killed seven (of them). Then he said to his companions, 'Our companions have not been treated fairly.'"  

الكبرى للنسائي:٨٥٩٧أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لَمَّا رَهِقُوا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي سَبْعَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَرَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ قَالَ «مِنْ يُرُدَّ هَؤُلَاءِ عَنَّا وَهُوَ رَفِيقِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَحَمَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ فَلَمَّا أُرْهِقُوا أَيْضًا» قَالَ «مَنْ يَرُدَّ هَؤُلَاءِ عَنِّي وَهُوَ رَفِيقِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى قَتَلَ سَبْعَةً» فَقَالَ لِصَاحِبِيهِ «مَا أَنْصَفْنَا أَصْحَابَنَا»

Whoso turns them away from us will attain Paradise or will be my Companion in Paradise. A man from the Ansar came forward and fought (the enemy) until he was killed. The enemy advanced and overwhelmed him again and he repeated the words: Whoso turns them away, from us will attain Paradise or will be my Companion in Paradise. A man from the Arsar came forward and fought until he was killed. This state continued until the seven Ansar were killed (one after the other). Now, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to his two Companions: We have not done justice to our Companions.  

مسلم:١٧٨٩وَحَدَّثَنَا هَدَّابُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الأَزْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وَثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُفْرِدَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فِي سَبْعَةٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ وَرَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَلَمَّا رَهِقُوهُ قَالَ مَنْ يَرُدُّهُمْ عَنَّا وَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ أَوْ هُوَ رَفِيقِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَتَقَدَّمَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ ثُمَّ رَهِقُوهُ أَيْضًا فَقَالَ مَنْ يَرُدُّهُمْ عَنَّا وَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ أَوْ هُوَ رَفِيقِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَتَقَدَّمَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ السَّبْعَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِصَاحِبَيْهِ مَا أَنْصَفْنَا أَصْحَابَنَا

[Machine] "Indeed, when the polytheists oppressed the Prophet ﷺ while he was with seven of Al-Ansar and two men from Quraysh, he said, 'Who will defend us and be my companion in Paradise?' So a man from Al-Ansar came and fought until he was killed. And when they oppressed him again, he said, 'Who will defend them from me and be my companion in Paradise?' until the seven were killed. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to his companions, 'How we have been fair to our brothers!'"
