3151. It was narrated that Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh said: "On the day of Uhud, the people ran away, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was in one position among twelve men of the Anshâr, one of whom was Talhah bin 'Ubaidullâh. He said: 'Who will face the people?' Talhah said: 'I will.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Stay where you are.' One of the Anshâr said: 'I will, O Messenger of Allâh ﷺ.' He said: 'You (go ahead).' So he fought until he was killed. Then he turned and saw the idolators. He said: 'Who will face the people?' Talhah said: 'I will.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Stay where you are.' One of the Anshâr said: 'I will, O Messenger of Allâh ﷺ.' He said: 'You (go ahead).' So he fought until he was killed. This carried on, and each man of the Anshâr went out to face them and fought like the one before him, and was killed, until only the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and Talhah bin 'Ubaidullâh were left. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Who will face the people?' Talhah said: 'I will.' So Talhah fought like the eleven before him, until his hand was struck, and his fingers were cut off, and he exclaimed in pain. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'If you had said Bismillâh (in the Name of Allâh), the angels would have lifted you up with the people looking on.' Then Allâh drove back the idolaters." (Hasan)

3149 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ سَوَّادٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَذَكَرَ آخَرَ قَبْلَهُ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ وَوَلَّى النَّاسُ، كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نَاحِيَةٍ فِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، وَفِيهِمْ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، فَأَدْرَكَهُمُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ، فَالْتَفَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ: «مَنْ لِلْقَوْمِ؟» فَقَالَ طَلْحَةُ: أَنَا، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَمَا أَنْتَ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ: «أَنْتَ فَقَاتَلَ»، حَتَّى قُتِلَ، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ فَإِذَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ لِلْقَوْمِ؟» فَقَالَ طَلْحَةُ: أَنَا، قَالَ: «كَمَا أَنْتَ»، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ: أَنَا، فَقَالَ: «أَنْتَ فَقَاتَلَ»، حَتَّى قُتِلَ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَلْ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ، وَيَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِمْ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَيُقَاتِلُ قِتَالَ مَنْ قَبْلَهُ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ، حَتَّى بَقِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَطَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ لِلْقَوْمِ؟» فَقَالَ طَلْحَةُ: أَنَا، فَقَاتَلَ طَلْحَةُ قِتَالَ الْأَحَدَ عَشَرَ، حَتَّى ضُرِبَتْ يَدُهُ، فَقُطِعَتْ أَصَابِعُهُ، فَقَالَ: حَسِّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْ قُلْتَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ لَرَفَعَتْكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالنَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَ، ثُمَّ رَدَّ اللَّهُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ»

Commentary

'Twelve Helpers': This incident is related to a particular period of time; otherwise quite a number of Emigrants also had remained steadfast. They were, nevertheless, showing their feats of bravery in other regions of Uhud. Coincidentally, Allâh's Messenger ﷺ happened to be present among a group of the Helpers. They were eleven Helpers in all. Counting Talhah (the Emigrant), the number was said to reach twelve.
