حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ عَمِّي أَنَسُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ سُمِّيتُ بِهِ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَكَبُرَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَوَّلُ مَشْهَدٍ شَهِدَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم غِبْتُ عَنْهُ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ أَرَانِيَ اللَّهُ مَشْهَدًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيَرَيَنَّ اللَّهُ مَا أَصْنَعُ . قَالَ فَهَابَ أَنْ يَقُولَ غَيْرَهَا فَشَهِدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْقَابِلِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَمْرٍو أَيْنَ قَالَ وَاهًا لِرِيحِ الْجَنَّةِ أَجِدُهَا دُونَ أُحُدٍ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ فَوُجِدَ فِي جَسَدِهِ بِضْعٌ وَثَمَانُونَ مِنْ بَيْنِ ضَرْبَةٍ وَطَعْنَةٍ وَرَمْيَةٍ فَقَالَتْ عَمَّتِي الرُّبَيِّعُ بِنْتُ النَّضْرِ فَمَا عَرَفْتُ أَخِي إِلاَّ بِبَنَانِهِ . وَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةَُ : (رجالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلاً ) . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .

Anas reported: ‘My paternal uncle Anas ibn al-Nadr, after whom I was named, did not take part in Badr with the Messenger of Allah. This weighed heavily on him, and he said, “The first battle the Messenger of Allah attended, I was absent from. By Allah, if Allah lets me attend another battle with the Messenger of Allah, He will see what I do.” He did not wish to say more than that. The following year, he fought with the Messenger of Allah at Uhud. Sa‘d ibn Mu‘adh met him and asked, “Abu ‘Amr, where are you going?” He replied, “Ah, for the fragrance of Paradise! I can smell it near Uhud.” He fought until he was killed. They found more than eighty wounds on his body from sword blows, spear thrusts, and arrows. My aunt al-Rubayyi‘ bint al-Nadr said, “I recognized my brother only by his fingertips.” Then this verse was revealed: “Among the believers are men who were true to the covenant they made with Allah; some have fulfilled their vow, and some are still waiting, and they have not changed in the least” (Qur’an 33:23).’
Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih report.

Preserved the more than eighty wounds and the identification by fingertips; the Arabic says Anas ibn al-Nadr was the narrator’s paternal uncle and namesake.
