Hadith text

Narrated `Aisha:"When it was the day of (the battle of) Uhud, the pagans were defeated. Then Satan shouted, "O Allah's worshipers! Beware of what is behind you!" So the front files attacked the back files of the army. Hudhaifa looked, and behold, there was his father, Al-Yaman (being attacked) ! He shouted (to his companions), "O Allah's worshipers, my father, my father!" But by Allah, they did not stop till they killed him (i.e., Hudhaifa's father). Hudhaifa said, "May Allah forgive you." (`Urwa said, Hudhaifa continued asking Allah's Forgiveness for the killer of his father till he died)

Aisha bataati hain: 'Jab jang-e-Uhud ka din tha, mushrik haraa diye gaye. Phir Shaitaan ne chillaaya, "Aye Allah ke bandon! Apne peechhe se khabardaar raho!" To agli qataaron ne fauj ki peechhe waali qataaron par hamla kiya. Hudhaifa ne dekha, aur dekho, wahaan unke waalid, Al-Yaman, the (hamle ka shikaar ho rahe the)! Unhone chillaaya (apne saathiyon se), "Aye Allah ke bandon, mere waalid, mere waalid!" Magar Allah ki qasam, wo tab tak nahi ruke jab tak unhone unhein (yaani Hudhaifa ke waalid ko) qatl nahi kar diya. Hudhaifa ne kaha, "Allah tumhein maaf kare."' (Urwa ne kaha, Hudhaifa apne waalid ke qaatil ke liye Allah se maafi maangte rahe yahaan tak ke unka intekaal ho gaya.)
