(3). 3201. Anas bin Mālik said: "My paternal uncle was absent from the fighting at Badr, so he said: 'I was absent from the first fight the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ fought with the idolaters, so if Allāh grants me to participate in a fight with the idolaters, then Allāh will see what I will do!' So on the Day of Uḥud, when the Muslims were driven back he said: 'O Allāh! Indeed I am innocent before you of what these people – meaning the idolaters – have done, and I beg of You to excuse these people for what they have done – meaning the Companions. Then he went forward and met up with Sa'd. He said: 'O my brother! Whatever you do, I am with you!' But he was not able to do the same as him. He was found with more than eighty wounds, between blows with the sword, thrusts of a spear, or arrow wounds. We would say: 'It was about him and his companions that (the following) was revealed: 'Of them some have fulfilled their vow; and some of them are still waiting, but they have never changed in the least.'[1] (One of the narrators) Yazīd said: "Meaning this Āyah." (Sahīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. And his paternal uncle's name is Anas bin An-Nadr.
