- .... Dr. Marsden Jones says in the introduction to his edition of al-Waqidi's book Al-Maghazi: In the manuscript that we have taken as the basis for this publication, there is a list of those who fled from the Prophet on the Day of Uhud, starting with these words:
"And among those who turned away was so-and-so," and al-Harith ibn Hatib, Thalabah ibn Hatib, Suwad ibn Ghuzayyah, Sa'd ibn Uthman, Uqbah ibn Uthman, and Khārid ibn 'Amir, reaching Malla and Aws ibn Qayzai in a few men from Banu Harithah. Meanwhile, the text in Ibn Abi al-Hadid has
Umar and Uthman instead of so-and-so, and al-Baladhuri narrates from al-Waqidi that it was Uthman without mentioning Umar. It is clear that the text in the original manuscript
mentioned Uthman and Umar, or Umar alone, or Uthman alone, among those who turned their backs on the Day of Uhud, but the copier did not accept this regarding Umar or Uthman and替换了他们的名字或者其中一个的名字,称其为:so-and-so.
