Talha ibn Ubaydullah (may God be pleased with him) al-Taymi al-Qurashi, one of the eight who were the first band of Islam; he entered at Abu Bakr's invitation in the secret-call years. Al-Sallabi reports a monk at Busra told him a prophet had come out of Mecca, and Abu Bakr brought him to the Prophet ﷺ; he fought at Uhud until he took twenty-four wounds, and the Prophet said he had made Paradise due. He divided his wealth and kept none overnight — seven hundred thousand from Hadramawt lay on his mind until he divided it by morning. An arrow struck him at the start of the Camel; Ali passed his body wiping the dust from his face: 'would I had died twenty years before this'. Some historians name Marwan ibn al-Hakam as the shooter, a report al-Sallabi refutes.
