حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَخَذَ سَيْفًا يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ يَأْخُذُ مِنِّي هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَبَسَطُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ يَقُولُ أَنَا أَنَا ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَمَنْ يَأْخُذُهُ بِحَقِّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَحْجَمَ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ سِمَاكُ بْنُ خَرَشَةَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ أَنَا آخُذُهُ بِحَقِّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَخَذَهُ فَفَلَقَ بِهِ هَامَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ‏.‏

English translation

Anas reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took hold of his sword on the Day of Uhud and said:

Who would take it from me? All the persons stretched their hands saying: I would do it, I would do it. He (Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ) said: Who would take it in order to fulfil its rights? Then the people withdrew their hands. Simak b. Kharasha Abu Dujana said: I am here to take it and fulfil its rights. He took it and struck the heads of the polytheists.
