It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that "On the day of the Battle of Uhud, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the martyrs who had been martyred that day and said: 'Wrap them (in their shrouds) with their blood, for I bear witness over these people (to their faith and sacrifice).' So (because of the large number of martyrs) two and three men were being buried in a single grave, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would ask, 'Which of them knew more of the Noble Qur'an?' Then whoever was pointed out, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would place him first (in the niche of the grave). Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that on that day my father and my paternal uncle were also buried in a single grave."
