It has been narrated on the authority of Anas Bin Malik who said: On the Day of Uhud some of the people; being defeated; left the Prophet ﷺ ; but Abu Talha stood before him covering him with a shield. Abu Talha was a powerful archer who broke two or three bows that day. When a man would pass by carrying a quiver containing arrows; he would say: Spare them for Abu Talha. Whenever the Prophet ﷺ raised his head to look at the people; Abu Talha would say: Prophet of Allah; may my father and my mother be thy ransom; do not raise your head lest you be struck by an arrow shot by the enemy. My neck is before your neck. The narrator said: I saw Aisha bint Abu Bakr and Umm Sulaim. Both of them had tucked up their garments; so I could see the anklets on their feet. They were carrying water-skins on their backs and would pour water into the mouths of the people. They would then go back to the well ; would fill them again and would return to pour water into the mouths of the soldiers. On this day ; Abu Talha sword dropped down from his hands twice or thrice because of drowsiness.
