story of Anas bin Nadhir(r.) martyrdom!
Shahaadat of Hadhrat Anas bin Nadhr ????

Hadhrat Anas bin Nadhr was one of the Sahaabah(companion) who could not take part in the battle of Badr. He very much regretted to have missed the honour of participating in the first and the most illustrious battle for Islam. He longed for a chance wherein he could make amends for Badr. He did not have to wait for long. The battle of Uhud came about in the following year. He joined the army with the most determined zeal. Despite heavy odds, the Muslims were gaining the upper hand but some people made a blunder and the Muslims had to suffer a temporary defeat.prophet(pbuh) had sent a group of fifty archers to guard a pass in the rear against the enemy cavalry.
Stories of the Sahaabah They had definite instructions not to move from their position till further orders from him. But when they saw the Muslims gaining victory and the enemy in full flight, they left their position in the belief that the battle was over and it was time to join in the pursuit and share the booty. The leader of the band tried his utmost to prevent them from leaving by reminding them of prophets(pbuh)command, but no more than ten persons would listen to him, arguing that the order given by prophets(pbuh) was only for the duration of the actual fight.
The enemy cavalry then noticed the unguarded pass in the rear, made a flank movement, forced a passage through it and attacked right on the rear of the Muslims who were pre-occupied with sharing the booty. It was in this state of affairs that Hadhrat Anas ? saw Hadhrat Sa'ad bin Ma'az ? passing in front of him. He shouted to him: "O, Sa'ad! Where are you going? By Allah! I smell the fragrance of Jannat coming from Mount Uhud." Saying this, he threw himself into the very thick of the enemy and fought tooth and nail till he met shahaadat(martyr).
After the battle, it was found that his body had been mauled and mutilated to such an extent that only his sister could identify him and that too barely from the finger tips. No less than eighty wounds of arrows and swords were counted on his body.
Stories of the Sahaabah Those who strive in the path of Allah ? with sincerity and devotion taste the pleasures of Jannat even in this world and so did Anas ? smell the fragrance of Jannat.
