Qatada ibn al-Nu'man
Qatada ibn al-Nu'man (Arabic: قتدة بن النعمان) was one of the Sahaba of Muhammad and an Ansar. He had a grandson named Asim ibn Umar ibn Qatada ibn al-Nu`man al-Ansari's (d. 120 or 129) [1].
[edit] Battle of Uhud
His surname was "Abdul Khateb" (d.632), hafiz (one who memorized the Quran by heart), and transmitter of numerous hadith. At the battle of Uhud in 625, Qatadah was struck in his eye and his eyeball was hanging down on to his cheek. The Companions wanted to cut it off, but first they asked Muhammad's opinion, and he told them not to do so. He then made du'a (supplicated) on Qatadah's behalf and placed his eyeball back in its place. Afterwards it is said that he could not tell which eye had been struck.[2][3]
One weak hadith narrates that he received a miraculous stick from Muhammad [4]
