4064. Narrated Anas: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: When it was the day (of the battle) of Uḥud, the people left the Prophet ﷺ while Abū Ṭalḥa was in front of the Prophet ﷺ shielding him with his leather shield. Abū Ṭalḥa was a skillful archer who used to shoot strongly. He broke two or three arrow bows on that day. If a man carrying a quiver full of arrows passed by, the Prophet ﷺ would say (to him), "Put (scatter) its contents for Abū Ṭalḥa." The Prophet ﷺ would raise his head to look at the enemy, whereupon Abū Ṭalḥa would say, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you! Do not raise your head, lest an arrow of the enemy should hit you. (Let) my neck (be struck) rather than your neck." I saw 'Aīshah, the daughter of Abū Bakr, and Umm Sulaim rolling up their dresses so that I saw their leg-bangles while they were carrying water-skins on their backs and emptying them in the mouths of the (wounded) people. They would return to refill them and again empty them in the mouths of the (wounded) people. The sword fell from Abū Ṭalḥa's hand twice or thrice (on that day).
