Hadith 3137
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسٌ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أُسَامَةُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ : أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِحَمْزَةَ ، وَقَدْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ ، " وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنَ الشُّهَدَاءِ غَيْرِهِ " .
Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet ﷺ passed by Hamzah who was disfigured (after being killed). He did not offer prayer over any martyr except him.
Brief Explanation
1؎: Since the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not perform the funeral prayer (salat al-janazah) for the martyrs of Uhud, therefore some people have taken this to mean that he supplicated (made du'a) for them.
