(2). 3200. Anas said: "My paternal uncle Anas bin An-Nadr – after whom I was named – did not participate in the battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. This distressed him and he said: 'I was absent from the first battle which the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ attended. By Allāh! If Allāh gives me the opportunity to participate in another battle along with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, then Allāh will see what I will do!'" He said: "He did not want to say more than that. A year later, he attended the battle of Uhud, where he saw Sa'd bin Mu'ād and said: 'O Abū 'Amr where are you going?' He said: 'I long for the fragrance of Paradise and I have found it near the mountains of Uhud.' He fought them until he was killed. They found more than eighty wounds on his body, be they from blows of a
sword, puncture wounds, or arrows. My paternal aunt Ar-Ruba' bin An-Nadr said: 'I could not recognize my brother except by his finger tips.' And this Āyah was revealed: 'Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allāh; of them some have fulfilled their vow; and some of them are still waiting, but they have never changed in the least.'[1] (Ṣāḥih)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣāḥih.

Commentary
There are such truthful courageous men among the Muslims, who fulfilled their promises made with Allāh, by courage and enthusiasm sacrificing their lives; and whoever could not yet do so, then they were ready to offer their lives, they were waiting for the opportunity to discharge their obligation and they never thought of making the smallest change in their promise with Allāh.
