حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ مُعْتَمِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ زَعَمَ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي بَعْضِ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي يُقَاتِلُ فِيهِنَّ غَيْرُ طَلْحَةَ وَسَعْدٍ. عَنْ حَدِيثِهِمَا.
Narrated Mu'tamir's father: `Uthman said that on the day of the battle of Uhud, none remained with the Prophet (ﷺ) but Talha and Sa`d.

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 4061
This narration repeats the report that on the day of Uhud, Talha and Sa`d remained with the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم). It is a simple hadith, but it gives a clear lesson about loyalty in a time of danger. The Battle of Uhud hadiths often show moments of pain, fear, service, and courage. This report focuses on two names and one act: staying with the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) when others were no longer near him in that part of the battle. The main lesson is not to add more than the text says. It only points us to the brave presence of Talha and Sa`d, and that presence itself is meaningful.
What we learn from this hadith
- Loyalty can be shown by simply remaining close when support is needed.
- The hadith honors Talha and Sa`d for their presence with the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم).
- The Battle of Uhud included moments where courage was shown under pressure.
