During the Battle of Uhud, Jibreel (as) and Mika’eel (as) stood by the Prophet ﷺ. Despite the setbacks experienced on that day, one Companion stood out: Mus’ab ibn Umayr (ra). He bore the banner of Islam and drew the threat of injury away from the Prophet ﷺ. Although he was martyred for his efforts, he was given a final honor in battle: an angel who picked up the banner and carried it while taking on the form of Mus’ab (ra).
