Muhammad sa The Perfect Man 301 Companions and said, ‘O my Companions, come and pay respect to him and send sal a m to him. I take oath in the Being in whose hand is my life, until the Day of Judgment, whosoever sends sal a m to him, will receive a reply from him. " 24 Hadrat Anas bin M a lik ra relates that his uncle Anas bin Na d r ra did not participate in the battle of Badr and he was extremely sorry for not participating in this first battle for Islam. He had given his word to the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa that if he had the chance to participate in a battle with H u du r sa , God would witness the bravery he would show. He fought bravely in the Battle of Uhud and when the Muslims had to retreat after victory by leaving the pass, with great fervour he said, "O All a h, I beg forgiveness for the Muslims who have abandoned the pass and express my disgust at the actions of the non-believers". He then marched forward with the sword in his hand. He met Sa‘d bin Mu‘ a dh ra on the way. In reply to his question as to where he was going, he said that he smelled the fragrance of paradise from the pass. He was martyred while fighting bravely. He fought with such bravery and fiercely that his body suffered eighty wounds inflicted by swords, spears and arrows. His body became unrecognizable due to these wounds and his sister identified him from a scar on his finger tip. 25
