Anas ibn al-Nadr al-Ansari
أنس بن النضر الأنصاري الخزرجي
An Ansari Companion of the Khazraj, uncle of Anas ibn Malik the Prophet's servant. He missed the fighting at Badr and longed for martyrdom in the next battle. At Uhud, when the Muslims scattered and some said the Messenger had been killed, he urged the falterers on, saying: 'what will you do with life after him?' He went on fighting until he met Sa'd ibn Mu'adh and said: 'alas for the breeze of Paradise, Sa'd — I catch it below Uhud!' He fought until he was killed; more than eighty wounds were found on him — spear-thrusts, sword-blows and arrow-shots — and his sister knew him only by his fingertips {cite:mubarakpuri-raheeq p.265}.
