Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4269 — The Battle of Uhud

وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ : مَنْ رَأَى مَقْتَلَ حَمْزَةَ ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَعْزَلُ : أَنَا رَأَيْتُ مَقْتَلَهُ قَالَ : فَانْطَلِقْ فَأَرِنَاهُ ، فَخَرَجَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى حَمْزَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، فَرَآهُ وَقَدْ شُقَّ بَطْنُهُ وَقَدْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مُثِّلَ بِهِ وَاللهِ ، فَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ ، وَوَقَفَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيِ الْقَتْلَى ، فَقَالَ : أَنَا شَهِيدٌ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ ، كَفِّنُوهُمْ فِي دِمَائِهِمْ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ جُرْحٌ يُجْرَحُ فِي اللهِ إِلَّا جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَدْمِي ، لَوْنُهُ لَوْنُ الدَّمِ ، وَرِيحُهُ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ ، قَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا فَاجْعَلُوهُ فِي اللَّحْدِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of Uhud the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Who has seen the place where Hamzah was killed?" An unarmed man said: "I have seen the place where he was killed." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then go and show us too." So the man set off until he stood beside the blessed body of Sayyiduna Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he saw that his belly had been slit open and that he had been mutilated, his limbs cut off. He said: "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, he has been mutilated." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked looking at him (out of intense grief and sorrow), and standing among the martyrs he said: "I am a witness over all of these (before Allah). Shroud them in their blood, for there is no wound received in the way of Allah except that it will come on the Day of Resurrection with blood flowing from it, its colour the colour of blood but its fragrance the fragrance of musk. And put forward those of them who knew more of the Qur'an, and lower them into the lahd (grave niche) first."
Imam Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah narrated this hadith, and its supporting reports (shawahid) exist in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, on the basis of which this narration is sahih (authentic).
