CHAPTER 6: THE VIRTUE OF INJURY IN THE SAKE OF ALLAH:
124. Abu Hurairah narrated: The Messenger of Allah said: “Anyone who is injured
in the path of Allah – and Allah knows who is injured in His sake – will come
on the Day of Judgment with his injury bleeding. The color is that of blood and
the smell is that of musk!”245
Ibn Daqeeq al Eid: The presentation of injury on the Day of Judgment indicates
two things:
1. The injury is a witness for the person.
2. It is a badge of honor for the person in front of all creation.
125. Aisha said whenever Abu Bakr would remember the day of Uhud he would say:
“That is a day that belongs to Talhah (he means Talhah bin Ubaidillah). I was
the first to go back to the Messenger of Allah but I found a man fighting with
him and I said to myself: “Be Talhah” “Until he said: “Talhah had around
seventy injuries in his body and his hand was cut off”246
126. Urwah bin al Zubair said: “Al Zubair had three scars from sword wounds.
One was on his shoulder. It was so large I would stick my fingers in it. Two of
them were from Badr and one in the battle of Yarmuk”
127. Anas bin Malik said: Abu al Diganah threw himself behind the walls in
Yamamah and his leg broke. He kept on fighting with a broken leg until he was
killed 247
128. Muadh bin Amr bin al Jamooh said: I made Abu Jahl my target on the day of
Badr. When I found him I charged at him and hit him with my sword and cut his
leg in two. Then his son Ikrimah hit me on my shoulder until he cut off my arm.
It only remained hanging to my body by the skin of my side. But because
fighting distracted me I remained dragging it behind me for most of the day.
Dragging my arm behind me annoyed me so I placed my foot over it and pulled it
off.
129. During the battle of Yamamah the first one to leave the battleground
was Abu Aqeel (one of the Ansar). An arrow that hit him between his shoulder
and his heart injured him. He was then carried to the camp. When the battle was
turning against the Muslims he heard Ma’an bin Adi calling the Ansar to charge
the enemy. Abdullah bin Umar said: Abu Aqeel stood up, so I asked him “What do
you want to do?” He replied: “They are calling my name,” I said: “They are not
calling upon the injured!” He replied: “They are calling upon the Ansar and I
am one of them and I will respond to the call even if I have to crawl” He then
put on his sword and went into the battle field and fought until his left arm
was cut off from the shoulder. I said: “Abu Aqeel!” He responded with a weak
tongue: “Yes, who won?” I said: “Rejoice, the enemy of Allah was killed” He
raised his finger upwards and praised Allah, and then he died. I told my father
Umar about that. He said: “May Allah have mercy on him. He persisted in
search of martyrdom until he got it”248
130. Salim the servant of Abu Huthaifah was told that if he feared he wouldn’t
be capable to carry the banner during the battle it could be transferred to
someone else. He responded: “I am the worst carrier (knows Quran by heart) of
Quran if that happened!” His right hand was chopped, and then he carried the
banner with his left hand. His left hand was latter cut so he embraced the
banner with what was left of his both arms reciting: “Muhammad is not but a
messenger, other messengers have passed on before him. So if he were to die or
be killed, would you turn back on your heels? And who turns back on his heels
will never harm Allah at all, but Allah will reward the grateful”249 and “And
how many a prophet fought and with him fought many religious scholars. But they
never lost assurance due to what afflicted them in the cause of Allah, nor did
they weaken or submit. And Allah loves the steadfast”250 When he was about to
die he asked his
companions: “What happened to Abu Huthaifah?” They said: “He was killed” He
then asked them about another person. They responded that he also was killed.
He said: “Then bury me between the two of them”251 ,252
On the day of Uhud the Messenger of Allah sent me to look for Saad bin al
Rabee and if I find him to deliver the salaams of the Messenger of Allah to
him. I found him among the bodies of the dead pronouncing his last moments with
around seventy injuries in his body. I told him: “The Messenger of Allah
delivers his salaams to you” He said: “salaams to the Messenger of Allah and
salaams to you. Tell the Messenger of Allah that I am now smelling the scent of
Paradise, and tell my people the Ansar that you have no excuse if the Messenger
of Allah is harmed while there is still an eye blinking among you” After that
he died.253
132. Saad narrated that he passed by a man on the day of the battle of the
bridge with his arms and legs cut off while he was crawling and reciting: “And
whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger – those will be with the ones upon whom
Allah has bestowed favor of the prophets and the steadfast affirmers of truth,
the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions”254.
Someone asked him who are you? He replied: “I am one of the Ansar”255
133. Abu al Hassan al Muradi narrated that Ali bin Bakar said: “I’ve seen a
Muslim in a battle against the Romans with his intestines spilled in front of
him over his saddle. He stuck them back to his stomach and tied around it his
turban. He carried on fighting and ended up killed over ten Roman soldiers
before falling dead!”
252 [As you can see, the understanding of the Sahabah was that if you were a
person who memorized Quran or were a scholar you must be steadfast and firm on
the battlefield.]

Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 2482 Narrated by AbuHurayrah (May Allah be pleased
with him)
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) used to say, " O Allah, grant me benefit
in what Thou hast taught me, teach me what will benefit me, and increase my
knowledge. Praise be to Allah in all circumstances. I seek refuge in Allah from
the state of those who go to Hell."
Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying this is a tradition
whose isnad is gharib.
