Sahih al-Bukhari 4065 (Book 64, Hadith 110) #3885
The Tragedy of Uhud

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Battle of Uhud and how Satan caused confusion among the Muslim forces, leading to Hudhaifa's father being killed.

Narrated 'Aisha: When it was the day of Uhud, the pagans were defeated. Then Satan, Allah's Curse be upon him, cried loudly, "O Allah's Worshippers, beware of what is behind!" On that, the front files of the (Muslim) forces turned their backs and started fighting with the back files. Hudhaifa looked, and on seeing his father Al-Yaman, he shouted, "O Allah's Worshippers, my father, my father!" But by Allah, they did not stop till they killed him. Hudhaifa said, "May Allah forgive you". (The sub-narrator, 'Urwa, said, "By Allah, Hudhaifa continued asking Allah's Forgiveness for the killers of his father till he departed to Allah (ie died)")
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ هُزِمَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ، فَصَرَخَ إِبْلِيسُ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ أَىْ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ أُخْرَاكُمْ‏.‏ فَرَجَعَتْ أُولاَهُمْ فَاجْتَلَدَتْ هِيَ وَأُخْرَاهُمْ فَبَصُرَ حُذَيْفَةُ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِأَبِيهِ الْيَمَانِ فَقَالَ أَىْ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ أَبِي أَبِي‏.‏ قَالَ قَالَتْ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا احْتَجَزُوا حَتَّى قَتَلُوهُ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ‏.‏ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا زَالَتْ فِي حُذَيْفَةَ بَقِيَّةُ خَيْرٍ حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِاللَّهِ‏.‏ بَصُرْتُ عَلِمْتُ، مِنَ الْبَصِيرَةِ فِي الأَمْرِ، وَأَبْصَرْتُ مِنْ بَصَرِ الْعَيْنِ وَيُقَالُ بَصُرْتُ وَأَبْصَرْتُ وَاحِدٌ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Ask Allah for forgiveness even in times of tragedy

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Battle of Uhud, which was a battle between Muslims and pagans. During this battle, Satan caused confusion among the Muslim forces by shouting "O Allah's Worshippers, beware of what is behind!" As a result, some of the Muslims turned around and started fighting with their own people instead. Hudhaifa saw his father Al-Yaman in this chaos and shouted for help but it was too late - his father was killed by his own people. Despite this tragedy, Hudhaifa still asked Allah for forgiveness for those who killed his father until he passed away himself. This hadith teaches us that even in times of great tragedy we should still forgive those who have wronged us as it is an act that pleases Allah greatly. It also reminds us to be wary of any tricks or schemes from Satan as they can lead to great destruction if we are not careful.
