When it was the day of (the battle of) Uhud, the pagans were defeated. Then Satan shouted, O Allah's worshipers! Beware of what is behind you! So the front files attacked the back files of the army. Hudhaifa looked, and behold, there was his father, Al-Yaman (being attacked) ! He shouted (to his companions), O Allah's worshipers, my father, my father! But by Allah, they did not stop till they killed him (i.e., Hudhaifa's father). Hudhaifa said, May Allah forgive you. (`Urwa said, Hudhaifa continued asking Allah's Forgiveness for the killer of his father till he died.

':'Telah menceritakan kepadaku Ishaq bin manshur telah mengabarkan kepada kami Abu Usamah Hisyam mengatakan ia mengabarkan kepada kami dari Ayahnya dari 'Aisyah mengatakan Dalam perang Uhud kaum musyrikin kocar kacir dan Iblis berseru; 'hai hamba Allah awas barisan belakang kalian! ' Maka pasukan depan kaum musyrikin berbalik kearah belakang sehingga tubrukan sesama mereka tak terelakkan. Lantas Hudzaifah melihat anggota pasukan satu persatu dan dia dapatkan ayahnya Al Yaman. Maka ia berseru: 'hai hamba Allah awas itu ayahku awas itu ayahku! ' Aisyah berkata; Demi Allah kaum muslimin tak sabar menahan diri hingga mereka membunuh ayahnya. Khudzaifah kemudian mengatakan; 'Semoga Allah mengampuni kalian.' 'Urwah berkomentar; pada diri Khudzaifah tiada henti tertanam sifat-sifat kebaikan hingga ia menjumpai Allah.'
