The answer

The Companion who was the maternal uncle of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and to whom the Prophet said on the Day of Uhud, "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you," is Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas Al-Zuhri. His servant, whom he called, "O you with two ears," is Anas ibn Malik Al-Ansari. As for the Companion to whom the Prophet said, "The trade has profited, O Abu Yahya," he is Suhayb ibn Sinan Al-Rumi, and the verse was revealed concerning him: "And among the people is he who sells himself, seeking the approval of Allah. And Allah is kind to [His] servants" (Al-Baqarah: 207), due to his stance during his emigration.
