عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى عَلَى حَمْزَةَ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ فَرَآهُ قَدْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ، فَقَالَ: ((لَوْلَا أَنْ تَجِدَ صَفِيَّةُ فِي نَفْسِهَا لَتَرَكْتُهُ حَتَّى تَأْكُلَهُ الْعَافِيَةُ، وَقَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ: تَأْكُلُهُ الْعَاهَةُ حَتَّى يُحْشَرَ مِنْ بُطُونِهَا))، قَالَ: ثُمَّ دَعَا بِنَمِرَةٍ، فَكَفَّنَهُ فِيهَا، قَالَ: وَكَانَتْ إِذَا مُدَّتْ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ بَدَتْ قَدَمَاهُ، وَإِذَا مُدَّتْ عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ بَدَا رَأْسُهُ، قَالَ: وَكَثُرَ الْقَتْلَى وَقَلَّتِ الثِّيَابُ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ يُكَفَّنُ أَوْ يُكَفَّنَ الرَّجُلَانِ شَكَّ صَفْوَانُ، وَالثَّلَاثَةُ فِي الثَّوْبِ الْوَاحِدِ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْأَلُ عَنْ أَكْثَرِهِمْ قُرْآنًا فَيُقَدَّمُهُ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ، قَالَ: فَدَفَنَهُمْ رَسُولُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَقَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، فَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ وَالرَّجُلَانِ وَالثَّلَاثَةُ يُكَفَّنُونَ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came and stood by Sayyiduna Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him) and saw that he had been mutilated. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If Safiyyah would not feel (pain), I would have left him as he was, until the beasts and (carnivorous) birds would eat him and his resurrection would be from their bellies. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called for a striped sheet and shrouded him in it. That sheet was so short that if the head was covered, the feet would remain uncovered, and if it was placed over the feet, the head would remain uncovered. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would shroud two or three men in one cloth, then ask which of them had memorized more of the Qur'an, and would place him foremost towards the Qiblah (in the grave). In this way, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) buried the martyrs and did not perform their funeral prayer. The narrator, Zayd bin Hubab, said: One, two, and three men were shrouded in a single cloth.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sayyidah Safiyyah radi Allahu anha was the real sister of Sayyiduna Hamzah radi Allahu anhu. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam wished that the entire body of Sayyiduna Hamzah radi Allahu anhu be sacrificed in the path of Allah Ta’ala, so that his reward would be complete. Burying more than one martyr in a single shroud can occur in two ways: (1) Tearing one shroud and dividing it into two or three parts, and wrapping each part separately around each deceased.
