Abu Dujanahأبو دجانة

Approximate dateUhud, Madinah

An Ansari warrior who took the Prophet's sword at Uhud and gave it its due.

At Uhud the Prophet ﷺ held up a sword and asked who would take it with its right. Abu Dujanah, Simak ibn Kharashah, took it, tied on his red headband and strutted between the lines; the Prophet ﷺ said Allah dislikes such a walk except in battle. He shielded the Prophet ﷺ with his back and died at Yamamah.
