وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَنَسٌ: «عَمِّيَ الَّذِي سُمِّيتُ بِهِ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَدْرًا»، قَالَ: فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: أَوَّلُ مَشْهَدٍ شَهِدَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غُيِّبْتُ عَنْهُ، وَإِنْ أَرَانِيَ اللهُ مَشْهَدًا فِيمَا بَعْدُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيَرَانِي اللهُ مَا أَصْنَعُ، قَالَ: «فَهَابَ أَنْ يَقُولَ غَيْرَهَا»، قَالَ: «فَشَهِدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ»، قَالَ: فَاسْتَقْبَلَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَنَسٌ: يَا أَبَا عَمْرٍو، أَيْنَ؟ فَقَالَ: وَاهًا لِرِيحِ الْجَنَّةِ أَجِدُهُ دُونَ أُحُدٍ، قَالَ: «فَقَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى قُتِلَ»، قَالَ: «فَوُجِدَ فِي جَسَدِهِ بِضْعٌ وَثَمَانُونَ مِنْ بَيْنِ ضَرْبَةٍ وَطَعْنَةٍ وَرَمْيَةٍ»، قَالَ: فَقَالَتْ أُخْتُهُ - عَمَّتِيَ الرُّبَيِّعُ بِنْتُ النَّضْرِ - فَمَا عَرَفْتُ أَخِي إِلَّا بِبَنَانِهِ، وَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا} [الأحزاب: 23] ، قَالَ: «فَكَانُوا يُرَوْنَ أَنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ وَفِي أَصْحَابِهِ».

My uncle and I have been named after him was not present with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) 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 ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ), and if God now gives me an opportunity to see a battlefield with the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ), 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 ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) on the Day of Uhud. He met Sa'd bin Mu'adh رضی اللہ عنہ (who was retreating). Anas رضی اللہ عنہ 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' رضی اللہ عنہ , daughter of Nadr, said: I could not recognize 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 bin Nadr رضی اللہ عنہ) and his Companions.
