Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when Hazrat Hamza was martyred on the day of Uhud, Hazrat Safiyyah came to look for him. She did not know what had happened. The narrator says: She met Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Zubair. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Hazrat Zubair: Tell your mother about Hazrat Hamza. Hazrat Zubair said: No! Rather, you tell her about your uncle. Hazrat Safiyyah began to ask: What has Hamza done? The narrator says: Both of them (Ali and Zubair, may Allah be pleased with them) made it appear as if they did not know. The narrator says: Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived and said: I fear for her mind. The narrator says: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand on her chest and prayed for her. The narrator says: Then Hazrat Safiyyah recited "Inna lillahi" and began to weep. The narrator says: Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived and stood by Hazrat Hamza, while he had been mutilated. And he said: If it were not for the weeping and wailing of women, I would have left him (Hamza) as he is, so that he would be gathered on the Day of Resurrection from the crops of birds and the bellies of beasts. The narrator says: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered regarding the martyrs, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) began to offer the funeral prayer over them. The narrator says: So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept nine individuals along with Hazrat Hamza and offered the funeral prayer over them with seven takbirs. Then the rest of the bodies were taken away and Hamza was left. Then nine individuals were brought and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the funeral prayer over them with seven takbirs, until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished with them.
