Hadith #327
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ النَّضْرِ تَغَيَّبَ عَنْ قِتَالِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ تَغَيَّبْتُ عَنْ أَوَّلِ مَشْهَدٍ شَهِدَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَئِنْ رَأَيْتُ قِتَالًا لَيَرَيَنَّ اللَّهُ مَا أَصْنَعُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ انْهَزَمَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقْبَلَ
أَنَسٌ فَرَأَى سَعْدَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ مُنْهَزِمًا فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَمْروٍ أَيْنَ أَيْنَ قُمْ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ الْجَنَّةِ دُونَ أُحُدٍ فَحَمَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ فَقَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ فَقَالَتْ أُخْتُهُ فَمَا عَرَفْتُ أَخِي إِلَّا بِبَنَانِهِ وَلَقَدْ كَانَتْ فِيهِ بِضْعٌ وَثَمَانُونَ ضَرْبَةً مِنْ بَيْنِ ضَرْبَةٍ بِسَيْفٍ وَرَمْيَةٍ بِسَهْمٍ وَطَعْنَةٍ بِرُمْحٍ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهِ { رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا }

English Translation
'Affan narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, Thabit informed us, from Anas (رضي الله عنه) that Anas ibn al-Nadr was absent from the Battle of Badr. He said: 'I was absent from the first battle the Prophet ﷺ fought. If Allah shows me another battle with the Prophet ﷺ, Allah will see what I will do.' On the Day of Uhud, when the Muslims were exposed, he said: 'O Allah, I apologize to You for what these people — meaning the Muslims — have done, and I disassociate myself from what these people — meaning the polytheists — have done.' He advanced and met Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, who said: 'O Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, Paradise! By the Lord of al-Nadr, I can smell its fragrance from beyond Uhud.' He was found with more than eighty wounds from swords, spears, and arrows. His sister recognized him only by his fingertips. Then this verse was revealed: 'Among the believers are men true to what they promised Allah' [33:23].
