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 stuck 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.
