Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39552 — What Abu Bakr (Ibn Abi Shaybah)

Sa'd bin Hisham narrates from his father that on the day of Uhud a complaint was made to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the severity of the wounds. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Dig graves, and dig them wide, and bury two or three men in one grave. Put forward the one among the dead who knew the most Qur'an." So the people put my father ahead of two men.
