5123. It was narrated that Abū 'Uqbah, who was a freed slave from Persia, said: "I was present with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ at Uhud, and I struck an idolator man, and said: 'Take that from me, and I am the Persian boy.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ turned to me and said: 'Why didn't you say: "Take that from me, and I am the Anṣārī boy?"' (Da'if)
