[Machine] I was among the first ones who fought on the day of Uhud, and I was standing in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a man came and fought against me. I could see him saying, "Woe to him, may Allah protect him." So I said, "Be like Talhah, wherever he goes, I will follow even if I miss what I had missed." He replied, "Between me and the east, there is a man whom I do not know. I am closer to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than him, and he is snatching the prey aggressively, which I cannot snatch." Suddenly, it was Abu 'Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah, so we all pushed towards the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . His ribs were broken and his face was injured. Two pieces from the cheek of Maghfar (a type of tree used to clean teeth) had entered his jaw. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us, "Take care of your companion," referring to Talhah who was bleeding. He did not even look at him. So we went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I wanted what Abu 'Ubaidah wanted and he asked me about it, and he did not leave me until I left him. His cheek wound had festered and he did not want to disturb it with his hand, for fear of hurting the Prophet ﷺ . He held it with his finger and pulled it out, and his cheek wound worsened. He asked me again, and did not leave me until I left him. Then he moved to the other side and did the same, pulling it out and worsening his cheek wound. Abu 'Ubaidah was meticulous about his wounds.
