حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ , أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ , أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ , عَنْ حَيْوَةَ , عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ , عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ , عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ , قَالَ : " صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى قَتْلَى أُحُدٍ بَعْدَ ثَمَانِي سِنِينَ كَالْمُوَدِّعِ لِلْأَحْيَاءِ وَالْأَمْوَاتِ , ثُمَّ طَلَعَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَقَالَ : " إِنِّي بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَرَطٌ , وَأَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدٌ , وَإِنَّ مَوْعِدَكُمُ الْحَوْضُ وَإِنِّي لَأَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَقَامِي هَذَا , وَإِنِّي لَسْتُ أَخْشَى عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُشْرِكُوا وَلَكِنِّي أَخْشَى عَلَيْكُمُ الدُّنْيَا أَنْ تَنَافَسُوهَا " , قَالَ : فَكَانَتْ آخِرَ نَظْرَةٍ نَظَرْتُهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Narrated `Uqba bin Amir: Allah's Apostle offered the funeral prayers of the martyrs of Uhud eight years after (their death), as if bidding farewell to the living and the dead, then he ascended the pulpit and said, "I am your predecessor before you, and I am a witness on you, and your promised place to meet me will be Al- Haud (i.e. the Tank) (on the Day of Resurrection), and I am (now) looking at it from this place of mine. I am not afraid that you will worship others besides Allah, but I am afraid that worldly life will tempt you and cause you to compete with each other for it." That was the last look which I cast on Allah's Apostle.

Hadith Commentary:
The Battle of Uhud took place in 3 AH in the month of Shawwal, and in 11 AH, in the month of Rabi' al-Awwal, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) passed away.
Therefore, the narrator's statement that it was "after eight years" cannot be correct.
The meaning is that it was in the eighth year, as we have clarified in the translation.
The farewell to the living is obvious, because this event occurred in the last year of his blessed life, and as for the farewell to the dead, its meaning is that now their visitation with the body will no longer be possible,
as used to happen in the world.
Hafiz Sahib has said that although the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is alive even after his passing, that is an afterlife (akhirah) life, which does not resemble worldly life.
In the narration, there is mention of the honor of seeing the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) at the Pond of Kawthar (Hawd al-Kawthar).
There, all of us Muslims will have the honor of meeting you.
O Muslims! Strive so that on the Day of Judgment we are not ashamed before our Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
Help his religion as much as you can.
Spread the Qur'an and Hadith.
Those who harbor enmity towards the noble Hadith and the people of Hadith—who knows what face they will show to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) at the Pond of Kawthar.
May Allah Ta'ala grant all of us the meeting with our Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) at the Pond of Kawthar.
Amin.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) passed away in Rabi' al-Awwal of the 11th year after Hijrah, after completing the Farewell Pilgrimage (Hajjat al-Wada') in the 10th year. The Battle of Uhud took place in the 3rd year after Hijrah. Therefore, the narrator's statement that the funeral prayer was performed for the martyrs of Uhud eight years after the Battle of Uhud cannot be correct; however, it is correct to say it was in the eighth year.
➋
The farewell to the living is obvious, because this event took place in the last year of the Prophet’s (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) blessed life. As for bidding farewell to the dead, it means that now it will not be possible to visit them with the physical body as used to happen in this world.
➌
Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) states that although the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is alive even after his passing, the life of the Hereafter is different from the life of this world.
(Fath al-Bari: 7/436)
➍
Since this hadith mentions the martyrs of Uhud, Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has narrated it, as if he has mentioned this hadith while interpreting the following verses:
“Do not think of those who have been killed in the way of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision.”
(Al Imran: 3:169)
Previously, we have already discussed the rulings and issues related to this hadith.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
Jamā’:
A goat that does not have horns.
(2)
Shujā‘an aqra‘:
A snake whose head has become bald due to the intensity of its venom.
Or, a snake that stands upright on its tail and attacks both pedestrians and riders, and strikes with its fangs on the forehead.
(3)
Yaqḍimuhā qaḍm al-faḥl:
He will bite and chew his hand like a male camel.
There are two types of manīḥah:
In one, an animal, land, or house is given as a gift (hibah) to another.
In the second case, a she-camel, cow, goat, or other milk-giving animal is given only for a period of time for the purpose of drinking its milk, and then it is taken back.
Benefits and Issues:
➊
From this hadith, it is understood that gold, silver, and wealth will not only be made into plates.
Rather, at times, it will be given the form of a bald snake, because the owner of the wealth sat upon it in the world like a snake.
Then that snake will pursue him.
And there will be no way for the owner of the wealth to escape from it.
And for his own protection, he will put his hand into its mouth, which it will chew like a male camel.
➋
In this hadith, among the dispersed rights which are manifestations of mutual brotherhood, goodwill, and compassion,
a few have been specified in relation to camels.
To give their milk to the poor and needy, or to temporarily give a milk-giving animal to someone in need for drinking milk, to give a bucket to a needy person for drawing water, to temporarily give a bull for mating, or to provide a mount to a mujahid for riding.
