The Crying Of The Sahaabah Radhiallaahu Anhum When They Heard That Rasulullaah Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam Had Been Martyred And What Happened To Them When He Passed Away

1.) Anas ibn Maalik RadhiAllaahu Anhu reports that when the people of Madinah were being defeated during the Battle of Uhud, the people started saying that Rasulullaah SallAllaahu Alaihi Wasallam had been martyred. (The people of Madinah started weeping so much that) The cries of women could be heard in the furthest reaches of Madinah. One of the women from the Ansaar left Madinah wearing her veil (and headed for the battlefield). (The corpses of) Her father, her son, her husband and her brother were all brought to her.

The narrator says that he is not certain which of them was brought first. When she passed by any one of them and asked who he was, she was informed that he was her father, her brother, her husband or her son. (Undaunted from her intent to find out about Rasulullaah SallAllaahu Alaihi Wasallam)

She asked (each time), "How is Rasulullaah SallAllaahu Alaihi Wasallam?" "
There he is in front of you," the people told her.
When she eventually reached Rasulullaah SallAllaahu Alaihi Wasallam, she held on to the edge of his garment and said, "May my parents be sacrificed for you, O Rasulullaah SallAllaahu Alaihi Wasallam! When you are safe, I have no concern for all those who have passed on."

2.) Zubayr RadhiAllaahu Anhu says that on the day the Battle of Uhud was fought, none but he was with Rasulullaah SallAllaahu Alaihi Wasallam near Madinah.
None of the Sahaabah RadhiAllaahu Anhum remained behind in Madinah (because all of them were on the battlefield). So many Muslims were martyred that someone even announced that Rasulullaah SallAllaahu Alaihi Wasallam had been martyred. All the women started weeping.
However, one of them said, "Do not be so hasty to cry until I go and see for myself."
She then left Madinah on foot without any purpose besides her concern for Rasulullaah SallAllaahu Alaihi Wasallam and to find out about his welfare.
