English translation
4048. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: 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 ﷺ (i.e., the battle of Badr), and if Allāh should let me participate in (a battle) with the Prophet ﷺ, Allāh will see how valiantly I will fight." So he encountered the day of (the battle of) Uhud. The Muslims fled and he said, "O Allāh! I appeal to You to excuse for what these people (i.e., the Muslims) have done, and I am clear from what Al-Mushrikūn have done." Then he went forward with his sword and met Sa'd bin Mu'ādīh (fleeing), and asked him, "Where are you going, O Sa'd? I am smelling the aroma of Paradise before Uhud." Then he proceeded on and was martyred. Nobody 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.
