[4917] 147 - (677) It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: "Some people came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'Send some men with us to teach us the Qur'ân and Sunnah.' He sent to them seventy men of the Anşâr who were called Al-Qurrâ', among whom was my maternal uncle Ĥarâm. They used to recite Qur'ân and study at night and learn, and during the day, they used to bring water to the Masjid and gather firewood and sell it, in order to buy food for Ahl As-Suffah and the poor. The Prophet ﷺ sent them to them, and they fell upon them and killed them before they reached that place. They said: 'O Allâh, convey from us to our Prophet that we met You when we were pleased with You and You were pleased with us.'" A man came to Ĥarâm, the maternal uncle of Anas, from behind and stabbed him with a spear that ran him through. Ĥarâm said: "I have succeeded, by the Lord of the Ka'bah!" The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to his Companions: "Your brothers have been killed, and they said: 'O Allâh, convey from us to our Prophet that we met You when we were pleased with You and You were pleased with us.'"
