"A devout Muslim Uwayah Qami lived in the valley of Urfa. He told Umar... that “when I learnt that a tooth of the Prophet had been martyred (in the Battle of Uhud) I broke one of mine. Then I thought that perhaps some other tooth of his had been martyred. So, I broke all my teeth… It is only after that that I felt at peace”."
