\nNarrated Anas:\n \n\nOn the day of the battle of Uhud, the people ran away, leaving the Prophet (ﷺ) , but Abu- Talha was \nshielding the Prophet (ﷺ) with his shield in front of him. Abu Talha was a strong, experienced archer who \nused to keep his arrow bow strong and well stretched. On that day he broke two or three arrow bows. \nIf any man passed by carrying a quiver full of arrows, the Prophet (ﷺ) would say to him, "Empty it in \nfront of Abu Talha." When the Prophet (ﷺ) stated looking at the enemy by raising his head, Abu Talha \nsaid, "O Allah's Prophet! Let my parents be sacrificed for your sake! Please don't raise your head and \nmake it visible, lest an arrow of the enemy should hit you. Let my neck and chest be wounded instead \nof yours." (On that day) I saw `Aisha, the daughter of Abu Bakr and Um Sulaim both lifting their \ndresses up so that I was able to see the ornaments of their legs, and they were carrying the water skins \nof their arms to pour the water into the mouths of the thirsty people and then go back and fill them and \ncome to pour the water into the mouths of the people again. (On that day) Abu Talha's sword fell from \nhis hand twice or thrice.\n

\nحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ انْهَزَمَ النَّاسُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُجَوِّبٌ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ بِحَجَفَةٍ لَهُ، وَكَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ رَجُلاً رَامِيًا شَدِيدَ الْقِدِّ، يَكْسِرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا، وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَمُرُّ مَعَهُ الْجَعْبَةُ مِنَ النَّبْلِ فَيَقُولُ انْشُرْهَا لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ‏.‏ فَأَشْرَفَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْقَوْمِ، فَيَقُولُ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي، لاَ تُشْرِفْ يُصِيبُكَ سَهْمٌ مِنْ سِهَامِ الْقَوْمِ، نَحْرِي دُونَ نَحْرِكَ‏.‏ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَأُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَمُشَمِّرَتَانِ، أَرَى خَدَمَ سُوقِهِمَا، تُنْقِزَانِ الْقِرَبَ عَلَى مُتُونِهِمَا، تُفْرِغَانِهِ فِي أَفْوَاهِ الْقَوْمِ، ثُمَّ تَرْجِعَانِ فَتَمْلآنِهَا، ثُمَّ تَجِيآنِ فَتُفْرِغَانِهِ فِي أَفْوَاهِ الْقَوْمِ، وَلَقَدْ وَقَعَ السَّيْفُ مِنْ يَدَىْ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ إِمَّا مَرَّتَيْنِ، وَإِمَّا ثَلاَثًا‏.‏
