حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ الل
َّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ صَوْتُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ فِي الْجَيْشِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ فِئَةٍ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَجْثُو بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فِي الْحَرْبِ ثُمَّ يَنْثُرُ كِنَانَتَهُ وَيَقُولُ وَجْهِي لِوَجْهِكَ الْوِقَاءُ وَنَفْسِي لِنَفْسِكَ الْفِدَاءُ

English Translation
Husayn ibn Muhammad narrated to us, Sufyan, meaning Ibn Uyaynah, narrated to us, from Ali ibn Jud'an, from Anas that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The voice of Abu Talhah in the army is better than a detachment of soldiers." And Abu Talhah was a man who, on the Day of Uhud, shielded the Prophet ﷺ with his body, and he was a skilled archer. He broke two or three bows that day.
