Narration on Reward for Migration and Azkhar after Martyrdom
Hadith 155
155 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا الْأَعْمَشُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ يَقُولُ: أَتَيْنَا خَبَّابًا نَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّا هَاجَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نُرِيدُ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ فَوَقَعَ أَجْرُنَا عَلَي اللَّهِ فَمِنَّا مَنْ مَضَي لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْئًا مِنْهُمْ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرِ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَتَرَكَ نَمِرَةً فَكُنَّا إِذَا غَطَيْنَا رِجْلَيْهِ بَدَا رَأْسُهُ، وَإِذَا غَطَيْنَا رَأْسَهُ بَدَتْ رِجْلَاهُ «فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نُغَطِّيَ رَأْسَهُ وَأَنْ نَجْعَلَ عَلَي رِجْلَيْهِ شَيْئًا مِنْ إِذْخَرٍ» وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَيْنَعَتْ لَهُ ثَمَرَتُهُ فَهُوَ يَهْدِبُهَا
Abu Wa'il narrates: We went to visit Sayyiduna Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) when he was ill, and he said: Indeed, we migrated with Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) seeking only Allah's pleasure, so our reward became due upon Allah. Some of us have departed (from this world) and did not take anything from their reward. Among them was Sayyiduna Mus'ab bin 'Umair (may Allah be pleased with him), who was martyred on the day of Uhud. He left behind only a single sheet; when we covered his feet, his head would be exposed, and when we covered his head, his feet would be exposed. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed us to cover his head and to place some idhkhir (a type of grass) on his feet. While some of us are those whose fruits have ripened and they are gathering them.
