That Abu Sufyan told him that Heraclius said to him, "I asked you about the outcome of your battles
with him (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) ) and you told me that you fought each other with alternate success. So the
Apostles are tested in this way but the ultimate victory is always theirs.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 21

My uncle Anas bin An-Nadr was absent from the Battle of Badr. He said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I was
absent from the first battle you fought against the pagans. (By Allah) if Allah gives me a chance to
fight the pagans, no doubt. Allah will see how (bravely) I will fight." On the day of Uhud when the
Muslims turned their backs and fled, he said, "O Allah! I apologize to You for what these (i.e. his
companions) have done, and I denounce what these (i.e. the pagans) have done." Then he advanced
and Sa`d bin Mu`adh met him. He said "O Sa`d bin Mu`adh ! By the Lord of An-Nadr, Paradise! I am
smelling its aroma coming from before (the mountain of) Uhud," Later on Sa`d said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I cannot achieve or do what he (i.e. Anas bin An-Nadr) did. We found more than eighty
wounds by swords and arrows on his body. We found him dead and his body was mutilated so badly
that none except his sister could recognize him by his fingers." We used to think that the following
Verse was revealed concerning him and other men of his sort: "Among the believers are men who
have been true to their covenant with Allah.........." (33.23)
His sister Ar-Rubbaya' broke a front tooth of a woman and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered for retaliation. On
that Anas (bin An-Nadr) said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, my
sister's tooth shall not be broken." Then the opponents of Anas's sister accepted the compensation and
gave up the claim of retaliation. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There are some people amongst Allah's
slaves whose oaths are fulfilled by Allah when they take them."
