قتادة بن النعمان
Qatada ibn al-Nu'man
The Companion Whose Eye the Prophet ﷺ Restored
نبی ﷺ کے ساتھ تعلق
Qatada's relationship with the Prophet ﷺ became defined by one of the most personal miracles in seerah literature — the restoration of his eye. The Prophet ﷺ did not merely pray for Qatada; he physically held his face and placed the eyeball back with his own blessed hand, showing the intimate physical care the Prophet ﷺ had for his wounded companions. This miracle was cited by classical scholars as evidence of the Prophet's ﷺ healing touch and was widely transmitted in hadith literature. Qatada's gratitude and devotion to the Prophet ﷺ after this event were profound, and his narrations reflect deep personal knowledge of the Prophet ﷺ in both battle and peaceful settings.

مکمل سوانح حیات
Qatada ibn al-Nu'man al-Ansari was one of the notable companions of the Ansar from the tribe of Aws in Madinah. He participated in the Battle of Badr and all the major subsequent battles, displaying remarkable courage and dedication in defense of Islam.
His most famous story comes from the Battle of Uhud in 625 CE. During the intense fighting, Qatada's eye was struck by an arrow and his eyeball fell onto his cheek. He came to the Prophet ﷺ with his eye resting on his face. The Prophet ﷺ, with his blessed hand, gently replaced the eyeball into its socket and pressed it back. According to the narrations, that eye became Qatada's better eye and retained good sight until his death — considered among the miracles of the Prophet ﷺ.
Qatada was also the narrator of several important hadiths and was known for his knowledge of the Quran and Islamic law. He was among the seven archers the Prophet ﷺ especially praised for their skill, and was known for his bravery particularly at the Battle of Badr where he struck down several opponents.
He lived until approximately 23 AH and passed away during the caliphate of Umar ibn al-Khattab. His narrations are preserved in the canonical hadith collections and he is mentioned with respect in all classical biographical dictionaries.
