Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

and forty men in all. The total killed on the Day of Uḥud—that is, on the side of the idolaters—was nineteen.

Mūsā ibn ʿUqbah said: “The Muslims who fell as martyrs, from Quraysh and the Anṣār, were forty-seven.”

Ibn Isḥāq said: “The Muslims who were martyred, from the Emigrants and the Helpers, on the Day of Uḥud were sixty-five, and the idolaters who were slain were twenty-two.”

I say: The report that puts the number at seventy is sounder. The figures cited by the authors of the campaigns should be understood as counting only those martyrs whose names were known, for they listed each martyr together with his lineage.

Ibn Isḥāq said: Among the Emigrants, the martyrs were:
• Ḥamzah;
• ʿAbd Allāh ibn Jaḥsh ibn Riʿāb al-Asadī, an ally of Banū ʿAbd Shams—he was the Prophet’s cousin on his father’s side—and he was buried with Ḥamzah in a single grave;
• Muṣʿab ibn ʿUmayr;
• ʿUthmān ibn ʿUthmān, known as Shammās—that is, ʿUthmān ibn ʿUthmān ibn al-Sharīd ibn Suwayd ibn Haramī ibn ʿĀmir ibn Makhzūm al-Qurashī al-Makhzūmī, the sister’s son of ʿUtbah ibn Rabīʿah. He had emigrated to Abyssinia, fought at Badr, and was nicknamed Shammās for his exceptional comeliness.

وأربعون رجلا. وجميع من قتل يوم أحد، يعني من المشركين تسعة عشر رجلا. وقال موسى بن عقبة: جميع من استشهد من المسلمين، من قريش والأنصار سبعة وأربعون رجلا. وقال ابن إسحاق: جميع من استشهد من المسلمين، من المهاجرين والأنصار، يوم أحد، خمسة وستون رجلا وجميع قتلى المشركين اثنان وعشرون. قلت: قول من قال سبعين أصح ويحمل قول أصحاب المغازي هذا على عدد من عرف اسمه من الشهداء، فإنهم عدوا أسماء الشهداء بأنسابهم. قال ابن إسحاق: استشهد من المهاجرين: حمزة، وعبد الله بن جحش بن رئاب الأسدي، حليف بني عبد شمس، وهو ابن عمة رسول الله ﷺ، وقد دفن مع حمزة في قبر واحد، ومصعب بن عمير، وعثمان بن عثمان، ولقبه شماس، وهو عثمان بن عثمان بن الشريد بن سويد بن هرمي بن عامر بن مخزوم القرشي المخزومي، ابن أخت عتبة بن ربيعة، هاجر إلى الحبشة وشهد بدرا، ولقب شماسا لملاحته.
