Who uttered this statement: "O Lord! I ask You this day, that You bring me face to face with an enemy of Yours, one severely embarrassed, mighty in his prowess, a disbeliever in You, so that he may kill me, then rip open my belly, mutilate my nose, gouge out my eyes, and cut off my ears, so that I may meet You, O Lord, in this state. Then, if You ask me on the Day of Resurrection: 'Why was this done to you?' I will say: 'For Your sake, O Lord!'"?

The one who said these words was the Companion Abdullah ibn Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with him) in the Battle of Uhud, when he prayed to his Lord to grant him a strong man to fight him for the sake of Allah, so that he would kill him and cut off his nose and ear. Then, if Allah were to ask him about it, he would say: "For You and for Your Messenger." His supplication was indeed fulfilled.
