MUSLIM MARTYRS OF THE BATTLE OF UHUD
ASMĀ’ SHUHADĀ’ UHUD
Rady Allāhu ‘Anhum
The Beloved Holy Prophet Muhammad Sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa Sallam put on his coat of arms and went for the Battle of Uhud in 3 A.H, 625 C.E with about 700 of his noble Sahāba (Companions) Rady Allāhu ‘Anhum against about 3000 better armed non-believers. In this battle, the Muslims received a set-back and about 70 Sahāba Rady Allāhu ‘Anhum were martyred. Even so, after this battle, Islām spread more and more, and far and wide. This shows that whether Muslims win a battle or receive a set-back, Islām always spreads as it is a universal religion for the whole of humanity till the end of time.
These then are the names of the Muslim martyrs of the Battle of Uhud in alphabetical order following the Arabic alphabet. Some of the letters do not occur because none of the martyrs had names beginning with those letters.
May Allāh Subhānahū wa Ta‘ālā make us walk in the footsteps of the Sahāba, Rady Allāhu ‘Anhum, Āmīn Yā Rabb al-‘Ālamīn.
Please recite “Sayyidinā” before each name and “Rady Allāhu ‘Anhu” (Allāh is pleased with him) after each name.

He gives the biographies of about 6700 sahāba and about 1000 sahābiyāt, that is the male and female Companions of Prophet Muhammad, Sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa Sallam, in alphabetical order. He indicates the sources, and gives details about the slight variations in reporting the full names of some of the Companions in the different sources. A study of this reveals that about half of the Muslim martyrs of the Battle of Uhud (3 A.H, 625 C.E) were al-Badrī as well, that is, those who had earlier participated in the Battle of Badr in 2 A.H, 624 C.E against non-believers.

This is a Tawassul Shuhadā’ Uhud, that is, a supplication to Allāh through the means of the martyrs of Uhud. It is a rāiyya, a poem all of whose 30 verses end and rhyme in the letter rā. It contains only the first names of the Companions.

This is a Tawassul Shuhadā’ Uhud. It is a rāiyya, a poem all of whose 24 verses end and rhyme in the letter rā’. It contains only the first names of the Companions in alphabetical order but indicates as well whether they are the Muhājirīn, that is the Emigrants from Makka, or the Ansār, that is, the Helpers from Madīna, and among the Ansār, whether they belong to or allied with the two major tribes of Aws, hence called Awsī, or Khazraj, hence called Khazrajī. He composed the Tawassul in 1308 A.H.

This is a Tawassul Ahl Badr as well as Shuhadā’ Uhud in prose. It gives the first names of the Companions in alphabetical order, indicating whether they are the Muhājirīn or the Ansār, and among the Ansār, whether they belong to or are allied with the tribe of Aws or Khazraj.
It is generally agreed among Muslim historian that seventy Muslims were martyred in the Battle of Uhud. Even so, Imām al-Barzanjī has the names of 103 Companions whom he considers to have been martyred, Shaykh Mustafā Rushdī ad-Dimashqī and al-Hājj Muhammad bin Nāsir al-Qādirī ash-Shāfi‘ī have 101 and Shaykh ‘Abdur Rahmān Chohravi has 86. One reason why the list is greater than 70 is that in some instances, Muslim historians and the ‘ulamā (the learned) are not absolutely sure from the evidence they have collected whether a particular Companion was actually martyred at Uhud or not. So, perhaps they have decided to err in including the name rather to err in leaving it out.
