Fath al-Rabbani

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When my father was martyred, I began to remove the cloth from his face. People tried to stop me from doing so, but the Messenger of Allah did not stop me. My paternal aunt, Sayyida Fatimah bint Amr (may Allah be pleased with her), began to weep. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not weep, or weep not; as long as you have not lifted this deceased, the angels have kept him under their shade.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jabir! Do you not know that Allah Almighty brought your father to life and said to him: 'Ask Me for whatever you wish, I will grant it to you.' Your father said: 'Send me back to the world so that I may be martyred again.' Allah Almighty said: 'I have already decided that these people will not be sent back to the world again.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: My father was martyred in the Battle of Uhud. My sisters gave me their camel and sent me so that I could carry my father's body on that camel and bury him in the graveyard of Banu Salama tribe. So I and my companions went; the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting at the place of Uhud. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) learned of our intention, he called me and said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul! Your father will be buried with his other martyred brothers. Thus, he was buried at Uhud along with the other martyrs.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out from Madinah Munawwarah with the intention of fighting the polytheists. My father, Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), said to me: There is no harm if you stay with the people of Madinah and observe the outcome of this battle. By Allah! If I were not leaving my daughters behind after me, I would have preferred that you be martyred before my eyes. So I remained in Madinah Munawwarah awaiting the result of the battle, when my paternal aunt came, bringing my father and my uncle Amr bin Jamuh on a camel. I took them to Madinah Munawwarah so that I could bury them in our ancestral graveyard. Meanwhile, a caller announced: Beware! The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commands you to take the martyrs back to Uhud and bury them at the very places where they were martyred. So we took them back and buried them at their places of martyrdom.

During the caliphate of Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him), a man came to me and said: O Jabir bin Abdullah! The officials of Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) have opened your father's grave and his body has become exposed, and part of it has come out of the grave. When I reached there, I saw that he was in the same condition in which I had buried him; there was no change in him whatsoever, except that the wounds of his killing had changed. So I buried him again.
