It was
narrated that Abu ‘Uqbah, who was the freed slave of some
Persian
people, said:
“I was present with the Prophet (ﷺ) on the Day
of
Uhud. I struck a man from among the idolaters and said: ‘Take that!
And I am a Persian slave!’ News of that reached the Prophet (ﷺ)
and
he said: ‘Why did you not say: “Take that! And I am an Ansari
slave!?”
