Introduction

Some historians have recorded Hazrat Unais’ name as Anas. However, the correct name is Unais. Both Muhammad bin Ishaq and Muhammad bin Umar have written Unais. He was with the Holy Prophet (sa) during the Battle of Badr and was martyred during the Battle of Uhud. He also did not have any children. According to one tradition, Hazrat Khansaa bint Khizam was married to him at the time of his martyrdom.
