At the Battle of Uhud in 625, Qatadah was struck in his eye and his eyeball was hanging down on to his cheek. The Companions RidhwanAllahiAlayhiAjmaeen wanted to cut it off, but first they asked Prophet Muhammad's SalalahuAlayhiWaSalim's opinion, and He SalalahuAlayhiWaSalim told Them RidhwanAllahiAlayhiAjmaeen not to do so. He SalalahuAlaihiWaSalim then made du'a (supplicated) on Qatadah's RadiAllahuAnhs behalf and placed his eyeball back in its place. Afterwards it is said that He RadiAllahuAnh could not tell which eye had been struck.

Famous quotes containing the word battle:
“Above the bayonets, mixed and crossed,
Men saw a gray, gigantic ghost
Receding through the battle cloud,
And heard across the tempest loud
The death cry of a nation lost!”
