Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Khabbab bin Al-Arat narrates that we set out with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the way of Allah, seeking Allah’s pleasure; our reward is with Allah. He says, some of us passed away and their reward was not diminished in the least. Among them was Hazrat Mus’ab bin Umair, who participated in the Battle of Uhud and was martyred. We did not find any cloth in which to shroud him except for one piece of cloth. When we covered his head with it, his feet would remain uncovered, and when we covered his feet, his head would remain uncovered. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Cover his head with it and place idhkhir leaves on his feet.” And he says, some of us are such that their fruits are ripening and they are picking them.
