The Expedition of Uḥud
[ ابْنُ السَّكَنِ وَبَلَاؤُهُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، حِينَ غَشِيَهُ الْقَوْمُ: مَنْ رَجُلٌ يَشْرِي لَنَا نَفْسَهُ ؟ كَمَا حَدَّثَنِي الْحُصَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مَعَاذٍ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: فَقَامَ زِيَادُ بْنُ السَّكَنِ فِي نَفَرٍ خَمْسَةٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ - وَبَعْضُ النَّاسِ يَقُولُ: إنَّمَا هُوَ عُمَارَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ السَّكَنِ - فَقَاتَلُوا دُونَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، رَجُلًا ثُمَّ رَجُلًا، يُقْتَلُونَ دُونَهُ، حَتَّى كَانَ آخِرُهُمْ زِيَادَ أَوْ عُمَارَةَ، فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى أَثَبَتَتْهُ الْجِرَاحَةُ، ثُمَّ فَاءَتْ فِئَةٌ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَأَجْهَضُوهُمْ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ: أَدْنُوهُ مِنِّي، فَأَدْنَوْهُ مِنْهُ، فَوَسَّدَهُ قَدِمَهُ، فَمَاتَ وَخَدُّهُ عَلَى قَدَمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Translation
✧ [Ibn al-Sakan and His Sacrifice on the Day of Uḥud] Ibn Isḥāq said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, when the people enveloped him: "Which man will sell his soul for us?" As al-Ḥuṣayn b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAmr b. Saʿd b. Muʿādh narrated to me, from Maḥmūd b. ʿAmr, he said: Ziyād b. al-Sakan stood up with five men of the Anṣār—and some people say it was ʿUmārah b. Yazīd b. al-Sakan—and they fought in defense of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, one man then another, being killed in his defense, until the last of them was Ziyād or ʿUmārah. He fought until his wounds disabled him. Then a group of Muslims returned and drove them away from him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Bring him close to me." So they brought him close to him, and he rested his head on his foot. He died with his cheek on the foot of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
