غزوة أحد
In the Battle of Uhud, Jabir ibn Abdullah was not allowed by his father Abdullah to take part in Jihad. Jabir had seven sisters (some historians say nine) and Abdullah wanted him to take care of his family. So instead of fighting, Jabir served the thirsty soldiers. Jabir's father, Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Haram al-Ansari was killed in the Battle of Uhud along with his brother-in-law, Amr ibn al-Jamuh, both having reached nearly 100 years of age.
