Will you give information about Ziyad (ra), who was martyred in the Battle of Uhud?
Dear Brother / Sister,
This person is mentioned as Ziyad or Umara b. Ziyad in resources.
When the Muslims were surrounded by the enemy in the Battle of Uhud, the Prophet (pbuh) said,
“Who will sacrifice himself for us?”
Ziyad or Umara b. Ziyad stepped forward with five people. They fought heroically and were martyred. Umara b. Ziyad was the last one who was martyred.
He had been wounded in various places of his body (fourteen sword and arrow blows); he was saved from the enemy by a group of Muslims and were taken to the Prophet (pbuh). He was about to die. The Prophet (pbuh) said, “Bring him close to me.” They placed his head on the feet of the Prophet. When he died, his cheek was on the blessed feet of the Prophet. (see Ibn Ishaq, I/116- al-Maktaba ash-Shamila; Ibn Hajar, al-Isaba, III/19).
May Allah allow us to be interceded by them!
