"غَابَ عَمِّى أنَسُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ عَنْ قِتَالِ بَدْرٍ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَ: غِبْتُ عَنْ أوَّل قِتَالٍ قَاتَلَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ المُشْرِكِينَ لَئنْ أَشْهَدَنى الله قِتَالًا لَيَريَنَّ الله مَا أصْنَعُ؛ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ انْكَشَفَ النَّاسُ، فَقَال: الَّلهُمَّ إِنِّى أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا جَاءَ بِهِ هَؤُلاَءِ، يَعْنِى المُشْرِكِينَ، وَأَعْتَذِرُ إِليْكَ مِمّا صنع هؤلاء يعنى المسلمين، ثم مشى بسيفه فلقيه سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ: أىْ سَعْدُ: وَالَّذِى نَفْسِى بِيَدِهِ إِنِّى لأجِد ريح الجنة دون أحد وَاهًا لِرِيح الجَنَّةِ (*)،

قَالَ سَعْدٌ: فَمَا اسْتَطَعْتُ يَا رَسُولَ الله مَا صَنَعَ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ: فَوَجَدْنَاهُ بَيْنَ القَتْلَي بِهِ بِضْعٌ وَثَمَانُونَ مِنْ بَيْن (* *) ضَرْبَة بِسَيْفٍ، وَطَعْنَةٍ بِرُمْحٍ، وَرَمْيَة بِسَهْمٍ، قَدْ مَثَّلُوا به فَمَا عَرَفْنَاهُ حَتَّى عَرَفَتْهُ أُخْتُهُ بِبَنَانِهِ، قَال أنَسٌ: كُلُّنا نَقُولُ: أُنزلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ: {مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ} (* * *) إِنَّهَا فِيهِ وَفِي أصْحَابِهِ"

My uncle Anas bin An-Nadr was absent from the Battle of Badr. He said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I was absent from the first battle you fought against the pagans. (By Allah) if Allah gives me a chance to fight the pagans, no doubt. Allah will see how (bravely) I will fight." On the day of Uhud when the Muslims turned their backs and fled, he said, "O Allah! I apologize to You for what these (i.e. his companions) have done, and I denounce what these (i.e. the pagans) have done." Then he advanced and Saʿd bin Muʿadh met him. He said "O Saʿd bin Muʿadh ! By the Lord of An-Nadr, Paradise! I am smelling its aroma coming from before (the mountain of) Uhud," Later on Saʿd said, "O Allah's Apostle! I cannot achieve or do what he (i.e. Anas bin An-Nadr) did. We found more than eighty wounds by swords and arrows on his body. We found him dead and his body was mutilated so badly that none except his sister could recognize him by his fingers." We used to think that the following Verse was revealed concerning him and other men of his sort: "Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah.........." (33.23) His sister Ar-Rubbaya' broke a front tooth of a woman and Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered for retaliation. On that Anas (bin An-Nadr) said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, my sister's tooth shall not be broken." Then the opponents of Anas's sister accepted the compensation and gave up the claim of retaliation. So Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are some people amongst Allah's slaves whose oaths are fulfilled by Allah when they take them."

His uncle (Anas bin An-Nadr) was absent from the battle of Badr and he said, "I was absent from the first battle of the Prophet (i.e. Badr battle), and if Allah should let me participate in (a battle) with the Prophet, Allah will see how strongly I will fight." So he encountered the day of Uhud battle. The Muslims fled and he said, "O Allah ! I appeal to You to excuse me for what these people (i.e. the Muslims) have done, and I am clear from what the pagans have done." Then he went forward with his sword and met Sad bin Mu'adh (fleeing), and asked him, "Where are you going, O Sad? I detect a smell of Paradise before Uhud." Then he proceeded on and was martyred. No-body was able to recognize him till his sister recognized him by a mole on his body or by the tips of his fingers. He had over 80 wounds caused by stabbing, striking or shooting with arrows.

My uncle and I have been named after him was not present with the Messenger of Allah (mav peace be upon him) on the Day of Badr. He felt distressed about it. He would say: I have missed the first battle fought by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and if God now gives me an opportunity to see a battlefield with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, God will see what I do therein. He was afraid to say more than this (lest he be unable to keep his word with God). He was present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the Day of Uhud. He met Sa'd b. Mu'adh (who was retreating). Anas said to him: O Abu 'Amr, where (are you going)? Woe (to thee)! I find the smell of Paradise beside the Uhud mountain. (Reprimanding Sa'd in these words) he went forward and fought thein (the enemy) until he was killed. (The narrator says). More than eighty wounds inflicted with swords, spears and arrows were found on his body. His sister, my aunt, ar-Rubayyi', daughter of Nadr, said: I could not recognise my brother's body (it was so badly mutilated) except from his finger-tips. (It was on this occasion that) the Qur'anic verse:" Among the Believers are men who have been true to their covenant with God. Of them some have completed their vow (to the extreme), and some still wait: but they have never changed (their determination) in the least" (xxxiii. 23). The narrator said that the verse had been revealed about him (Anas b. Nadr) and his Companions.

"My paternal uncle Anas bin An-Nadr - after whom I was named - did not participate in the battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. This distressed him and he said: 'I was absent from the first battle which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ attended. By Allah! If Allah gives me the opportunity to participate in another battle along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then Allah will see what I will do!'" He said: "He did not want to say more than that. A year later, he attended the battle of Uhud, where he saw Sa'd bin Mu'adh and said: 'O Abu 'Amr where are you going?' He said: 'I long for the fragrance of Paradise and I have found it near the mountains of Uhud.' He fought them until he was killed. They found more than eighty wounds on his body, be they from blows of a sword, puncture wounds, or arrows. My paternal aunt Ar-Ruba'i bin An-Nadr said: 'I could not recognize my brother except by his finger tips.' And this Ayah was revealed: 'Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah; of them some have fulfilled their vow, and some of them are still waiting, but they have never changed in the least (33:23).'"

[Machine] About the first scene witnessed by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , when he said, "If I were to witness a battle, Allah will show me what I will do." So, on the day of Uhud, the companions of the Prophet ﷺ were defeated. Anas approached and saw Sa'd ibn Mu'adh defeated. He said, "Oh Abu Amr, where? Where?" He said, "By the One in whose hand my soul is, I can smell the scent of Paradise below Uhud." Anas carried him until he was killed. Sa'd ibn Mu'adh said, "By the One in whose hand my soul is, I did what I could." His sister said, "I did not recognize my brother except by his fingers." And indeed, he had eighty-one wounds between sword strikes, arrow shots, and spear thrusts. Allah revealed in reference to him, "Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah..." (Al-Ahzab 23) until His saying, "And they did not alter [the terms of their commitment] by any alteration" (Al-Ahzab 23).

عَنْ أَوَّلِ قِتَالٍ قَاتَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لَئِنِ اللهُ أَشْهَدَنِي قِتَالًا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ لَيَرَيَنَّ اللهُ مَا أَصْنَعُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ انْكَشَفَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا صَنَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ يَعْنِي أَصْحَابَهُ وَأَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا جَاءَ بِهِ هَؤُلَاءِ يَعْنِي الْمُشْرِكِينَ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ فَلَقِيَهُ سَعْدٌ لِأُخْرَاهَا دُونَ أُحُدٍ وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ بِبَغْدَادَ بِأُخْرَاهَا دُونَ أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ أَنَا مَعَكَ قَالَ سَعْدٌ فَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ أَصْنَعَ مَا صَنَعَ فَوُجِدَ فِيهِ بِضْعٌ وَثَمَانُونَ مِنْ بَيْنِ ضَرْبَةٍ بِسَيْفٍ وَطَعْنَةٍ بِرُمْحٍ وَرَمْيَةٍ بِسَهْمٍ قَالَ فَكُنَّا نَقُولُ فِيهِ وَفِي أَصْحَابِهِ نَزَلَتْ {فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ} [الأحزاب 23]

"My paternal uncle Anas bin An-Nadr - after whom I was named - did not participate in the battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. This distressed him and he said: 'I was absent from the first battle which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ attended. By Allah! If Allah gives me the opportunity to participate in another battle along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then Allah will see what I will do!'" He said: "He did not want to say more than that. A year later, he attended the battle of Uhud, where he saw Sa'd bin Mu'adh and said: 'O Abu 'Amr where are you going?' He said: 'I long for the fragrance of Paradise and I have found it near the mountains of Uhud.' He fought them until he was killed. They found more than eighty wounds on his body, be they from blows of a sword, puncture wounds, or arrows. My paternal aunt Ar-Ruba'i bin An-Nadr said: 'I could not recognize my brother except by his finger tips.' And this Ayah was revealed: 'Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah; of them some have fulfilled their vow, and some of them are still waiting, but they have never changed in the least (33:23).'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3200)

[Machine] About the first battle of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ against the pagans, when they said: "If Allah witnesses me with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Allah will see what I will do." And when it was the day of Uhud, he met the pagans and the people were defeated, so he said, "O Allah, I apologize to you for what these Muslims did, and I declare my innocence to you from what these pagans have done." Then he took a sword and met Sa'd bin Muadh and said, "O Sa'd, indeed, I can smell the fragrance of Paradise from Uhud." So he went and was killed and he was not recognized until his sister recognized him by his beautiful face, and he had been stabbed eighty-two times with a spear, struck with a sword, and shot with an arrow.

My uncle and I have been named after him was not present with the Messenger of Allah (mav peace be upon him) on the Day of Badr. He felt distressed about it. He would say: I have missed the first battle fought by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and if God now gives me an opportunity to see a battlefield with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, God will see what I do therein. He was afraid to say more than this (lest he be unable to keep his word with God). He was present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the Day of Uhud. He met Sa'd b. Mu'adh (who was retreating). Anas said to him: O Abu 'Amr, where (are you going)? Woe (to thee)! I find the smell of Paradise beside the Uhud mountain. (Reprimanding Sa'd in these words) he went forward and fought thein (the enemy) until he was killed. (The narrator says). More than eighty wounds inflicted with swords, spears and arrows were found on his body. His sister, my aunt, ar-Rubayyi', daughter of Nadr, said: I could not recognise my brother's body (it was so badly mutilated) except from his finger-tips. (It was on this occasion that) the Qur'anic verse:" Among the Believers are men who have been true to their covenant with God. Of them some have completed their vow (to the extreme), and some still wait: but they have never changed (their determination) in the least" (xxxiii. 23). The narrator said that the verse had been revealed about him (Anas b. Nadr) and his Companions. (Using translation from Muslim 1903)

[Machine] About the first battle fought by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ against the polytheists, he said, "If Allah witnesses me in a battle, He will show what I am capable of." So on the day of Uhud, the Muslims were exposed, and he said, "O Allah, I apologize to You for what these people, referring to the polytheists, have done, and I excuse myself to You for what these people, referring to the Muslims, have done." Then he walked with his sword and met Sa`d bin Mu`adh, who said, "Who is Sa`d? By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, I can smell the fragrance of Paradise from Uhud." Sa`d said, "What could I do, O Messenger of Allah, when I saw what happened?" So we found him among the dead with eighty-two wounds from sword strikes, spear stabs, and arrow shots. His sister recognized him by his wounds. Anas said, "We used to say that this verse was revealed about him and his companions." In my book, it is mentioned that Anas bin An-Nadr said this.
