Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 4054

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: On the day of Uhud, the polytheists killed his father, then they mutilated him and cut off his nose and ears. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I looked at him and at what the polytheists had done to him, and I cried out. The Ansar came and covered his body with a cloth. Then I uncovered the cloth, and when I saw what had been done to him I cried out, and the Ansar came and covered him with the cloth. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: All of this was happening before the eyes of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Ansar went and came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Do you not see what Jabir is doing?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave him."
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: After this he mentioned the complete hadith, and part of it is reported in the Sahih.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
