'Abdullah bin Qais

Talha ibn Ubaydillah, may Allah be pleased with him, was one of the ten companions given the glad tidings of Paradise by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and among the very earliest Muslims — he accepted Islam before the Prophet entered the house of al-Arqam. He was from the Quraysh and was nicknamed Talha al-Khayr (Talha the Good) and Talha al-Fayyad (Talha the Generous) by the Prophet himself for his extreme generosity. He earned his greatest distinction at the Battle of Uhud, where he shielded the Prophet ﷺ from arrows and swords with his own body, sustaining numerous wounds including losing the use of several fingers. He reportedly received seventy wounds in that battle. He narrated hadiths from the Prophet ﷺ on worship, the virtues of the companions, and the Prophet's personal character. His narrations appear in Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and other major collections. He was killed at the Battle of the Camel near Basra in 36 AH during the period of civil strife, dying at approximately sixty-two years of age.
