Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Khabbab that we migrated with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and we were seeking the pleasure of Allah the Almighty. Thus, our reward became incumbent upon Allah. Then, among us were some who did not partake of any of their reward. Among them was Mus'ab bin Umair, who was martyred in the Battle of Uhud, and for his shroud, nothing was available except a single sheet. When the companions would cover his head with it, his feet would become uncovered, and when they pulled it towards his feet, his blessed head would become uncovered. Upon this, the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Cover his head with the sheet and place izkhir (a type of grass) on his feet." And among us are some for whom the fruits (of their reward) have ripened, so they are enjoying them.
