Musnad of Hisham bin Amir
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1553 — on the day of the Battle of Uhud the Ansar
حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، بِنَا قَرْحٌ وَجَهْدٌ ، فَكَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنَا ؟ قَالَ : احْفِرُوا ، وَأَوْسِعُوا ، وَاجْعَلُوا الرَّجُلَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ ، فَقَالُوا : مَنْ نُقَدِّمُ ؟ قَالَ : قَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَكُمْ قُرْآنًا ، قَالَ : فَقُدِّمَ أَبِي بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اثْنَيْنِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، أَوْ قَالَ : وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hisham bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of Uhud the Ansar of Madinah came (to the Messenger of Allah) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! We are worn out with wounds and are in severe hardship, so what do you command us (regarding the burial of the martyrs)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Dig the graves, make them wide, and bury two and three people in a single grave." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "Whom shall we put forward (in the grave) first?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Put forward the one among you who knows the most Qur'an." Sayyiduna Hisham (may Allah be pleased with him) said that (in accordance with this command) my honoured father was placed in front of two of the Ansar, or the narrator said: in front of one of the Ansar (that is, he was lowered into the grave first).
