حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْفَعُ رَأ
ْسَهُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَوَاقِعِ نَبْلِهِ فَيَتَطَاوَلُ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ بِصَدْرِهِ يَقِي بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَيَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَحْرِي دُونَ نَحْرِكَ

حميد
English Translation
Anas (رضي الله عنه) narrated: Abu Talhah (رضي الله عنه) was in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ [as a shield in battle], and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would raise his head from behind him to see where his arrows were landing. Abu Talhah would rise up and say: "May my father and mother be your ransom, O Messenger of Allah! Do not look out lest an arrow of the enemy strike you. Let my chest be before your chest."
