Abu Talha said, "Drowsiness overcame us while we were standing in our ranks on the day of Uhud." He related that he was among those whom sleep overcame that day. He said, "My sword kept falling from my hand, and I would pick it up, only for it to fall again, and I would pick it up once more. As for the other group, the hypocrites, they had no concern except for themselves. They were the most cowardly of people, the most fearful, and the quickest to forsake the truth."
حدثنا يوسف بن حماد حدثنا عبد الأعلى بن عبد الأعلى عن سعيد عن قتادة
أن أبا طلحة قال غشينا ونحن في مصافنا يوم أحد حدث أنه كان فيمن غشيه النعاس يومئذ قال فجعل سيفي يسقط من يدي وآخذه ويسقط من يدي وآخذه والطائفة الأخرى المناقدون ليس لهم هم إلا أنفسهم أجبن قوم وأرعبه وأخذله للحق
[Sahih] except for his saying "and the other party sided against the truth," which is an interpolation. Bukhari narrated it, no. 4068, from the hadith of Saeed bin Abu Aruba through him, up to "and sided against it."
