Sayyiduna Hisham bin ‘Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: On the day of the Battle of Uhud, the Ansari Companions came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! We are very wounded and tired, (now regarding the burial of these martyrs) what do you command us? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Dig graves and make them wide and deep, and bury two or three men in each grave. They asked: Whom should we put forward among them? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The one who knows more Qur’an. Hisham says: Thus, my father ‘Amir was placed ahead of one or two men.
