4077. Narrated ‘Āishah رضي الله عنها: regarding the Holy Verse : “Those who answered (the Call of) Allāh and the Messenger (Muḥammad ﷺ), after being wounded; for those of them who did good deeds and feared Allāh, there is a great reward.” (V.3:172) She said to ‘Urwa, “O my nephew! Your father, Az-Zubair and Abū Bakr were amongst them [i.e., those who answered (the Call of) Allāh and the Messenger on the day (of the battle of Uhud)]. When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ suffered what he suffered on the day (of the battle) of Uhud and Al-Mushrikūn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh and in His Messenger Muḥammad ﷺ) left, the Prophet ﷺ was afraid that they might return. So he said, 'Who will go on their (i.e., Mushrikūn's) track?' He then selected seventy men from amongst them (for this purpose)." (The subnarrator) added: "Abū Bakr and Az-Zubair were amongst them."
