Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Ka’b bin Malik narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said on the day of Uhud: “Who has seen the place where Hamza was killed?” An unarmed man said, “I have seen the place where Hamza was killed.” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Come and show us the place where he was killed.” So that man went out until he stood by the body of Hazrat Hamza, and he saw that Hamza’s stomach had been ripped open and his body mutilated. That man said, “O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him! By Allah! He has been mutilated.” The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, disliked looking towards Hamza, and he stood among the martyrs and said: “I myself am a witness over these people. Wrap them in their blood, for none of the wounded among them will come on the Day of Resurrection except that his wound will be flowing with blood. Its color will be the color of blood, but its fragrance will be the fragrance of musk. Give precedence among them to the one who knows more of the Qur’an, and place him first in the grave.”
