وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ الْعُقَيْلِيُّ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي عَلِيٌّ ؓ:
لَمَّا انْجَلَى النَّاسُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْقَتْلَى، فَلَمْ أَرَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهِمْ، فَقُلْتُ: وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ ﷺ لِيَفِرَّ، وَمَا أَرَاهُ فِي الْقَتْلَى، وَلَكِنِّي أَرَى أَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ غَضِبَ عَلَيْنَا بِمَا صَنَعْنَا فَرَفَعَ نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ، فَمَا لِي خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ حَتَّى أُقْتَلَ، فَكَسَرْتُ جَفْنَ سَيْفِي، ثُمَّ حَمَلْتُ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَأُخْرِجُوا لِي، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُمْ

✧ When the people dispersed from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Uhud, I looked at the slain and did not see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ among them. I said: “By Allah, it was not for him ﷺ to flee, and I do not see him among the slain. But I think that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, became angry with us for what we did and raised up His Prophet ﷺ. There is nothing better for me than to fight until I am killed.” So I broke the scabbard of my sword, then charged at the people, and they were dispersed before me, and then I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ among them.
