Who is the Companion famous as the "Prince of Archers"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The commander of the archers in the Battle of Uhud was Abdullah ibn Jubair ibn al-Nu'man al-Ansari, may Allah be pleased with him. He witnessed Al-Aqabah and Badr and was martyred in Uhud. He was the commander of the archers on that day. This is confirmed in the hadith of Al-Bara' ibn Azib in the Sahih, where he forbade the archers from leaving their positions after the defeat of the polytheists, but they disobeyed him, and he was martyred on that day.
