Kutoka kwa Anas bin Malik (Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake) said: "Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) took up a sword on the day of the battle of Uhud and said, "Who will take this sword from me?" Everyone stretched forth his hand saying: "I will take it; I will take it". He (Mtume (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake)) said, "Who will take it with its full responsibility (i.e., to use it to fight Allah's enemies with it)?" The Companions hesitated. Abu Dujanah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: "I shall take it;" and with it he cracked the skulls of the pagans.."
