History

Vehb b. Kâbûs al-Müzenî (d. 3/625) is one of the companions who was martyred after joining the Battle of Uhud late. While passing through the region with his herd, he learned that the battle had started; he took his nephew Hâris b. Ukbe with him and rushed to the battle. When the Prophet Muhammad saw them without swords and spears, he was astonished. Both of them participated in the battle with great courage and were martyred shortly after. The Prophet Muhammad prayed for them. This example is a frequently referenced incident in Islamic history regarding spontaneous participation in battle and showing sacrifice. [Source: "Vehb b.
