Muhammad sa The Perfect Man 711 referring to the martyrs of U h ud said, "I myself bear witness in their favour. " Hadrat Ab u Bakr ra said, 'O Messenger of All a h, are we not their brothers? We accepted Islam as they did. They participated in the holy war and so did we. ' H u du r sa said, "Yes, but I do not know what you people would do after my death. " On hearing this Hadrat Ab u Bakr ra wept a great deal and then said, "Would we be left alone after you?" 19 Hadrat Uqbah bin ‘ A mir relates that eight years after the martyrdom of U h ud participants (this year was 11 th Hijrah, when Holy Prophet Muhammad passed away) H u du r sa went and prayed at the graves of the martyrs. The Companions say, "It seemed as if he was bidding farewell to the dead along with the living ones". The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa 's Regard for the Honour of his Friends On the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, during the journey, the Muslims camped at a place called Marru z - Z ahr a n. Hadrat ‘Abdull a h bin Mas‘ u d ra with his slim body and thin legs quickly climbed up the tree and brought down ripe fruit for his friends. Some of the Companions started to make fun of his thin legs. H u du r sa realizing that this fun might turn into ridicule, said, "Do not look down on his thin legs; in the sight of All a h they carry a great regard. " 20
