(16). 3008. Anas narrated that Abū Ṭalḥah said: "We were overcome, and we were in our positions on the Day of Uḥud," and he narrated that he was among those who were overcome with slumber on that day. He said: "My sword kept falling from my hand and I would pick it up and it would fall from my hand and I would pick it up (again). The other party was that of the hypocrites, they had no concern but themselves, the most
cowardly of people, the most frightened, fleeing from the truth."
(Sahīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh.

Commentary
It happened when the Muslim soldiers could not maintain the systematic plan for fighting, several bodies with profound fatal wounds were struggling for life, the soldiers were broken down with severe injuries, and they had lost their senses because of the false news of the Prophet's death. In these circumstances, Allāh Almighty covered them with sleep and removed their fatigue. After this, the Companions gathered around the Prophet ﷺ and established the front for fighting; soon after the condition was clear and the enemies began fleeing away.
