It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that his father (Sayyiduna Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred by the polytheists on the day of Uhud; then they mutilated him and cut off his nose and ears. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "I began looking at him and at what had been done to him. Then the Ansar came and covered him with a cloth. Then I removed the cloth, and when I saw what had been done to him, I cried out. So the Ansar covered him with the cloth again, and they went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, do you not see what Jabir is doing? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Leave him, for by Allah, the angels have been continuously shading him with their wings.' Some time after that, I said: O Prophet of Allah, my father has left a debt on himself. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'When the dates are ripe and ready, inform me.' Then when the dates were ready, I mentioned it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for him, so from his date palms his debt was paid off, and as many dates were left over as used to be left over (normally, before paying off the debt)."
In the printed edition of Dar al-Haramain it is thus, whereas the correct wording is: Ma'qil bin Ubaydullah from Muhammad bin al-Munkadir (Ma'qil bin Ubaydullah narrates from Muhammad bin al-Munkadir (may Allah have mercy on him)), and the editor has pointed this out.
