Bayhaqi 12679 — One who takes precaution and bequeaths that his debts

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ إِمْلَاءً، أنبأ الشَّيْخُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أنا أَبُو الْمُثَنَّى، ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ، ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، ثنا أَبُو مَسْلَمَةَ، ثنا أَبُو نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: " لَمَّا حَضَرَ قِتَالُ أُحُدٍ دَعَانِي أَبِي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي لَا أَرَانِي إِلَّا مَقْتُولًا فِي أَوَّلِ مَنْ يُقْتَلُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَإِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا أَدَعُ أَحَدًا بَعْدِي أَعَزَّ عَلَيَّ مِنْكَ بَعْدَ نَفْسِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَإِنَّ عَلَيَّ دَيْنًا فَاقْضِ عَنِّي دَيْنِي، وَاسْتَوْصِ بِإِخْوَانِكَ خَيْرًا، قَالَ: فَأَصْبَحْنَا، فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ قَتِيلٍ، فَدَفَنْتُهُ مَعَ آخَرَ فِي قَبْرٍ، ثُمَّ لَمْ تَطِبْ نَفْسِي أَنْ أَتْرُكَهُ مَعَ آخَرَ فِي قَبْرٍ، فَاسْتَخْرَجْتُهُ بَعْدَ سِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ، فَإِذَا هُوَ كَيَوْمِ وَضَعْتُهُ غَيْرَ أُذُنِهِ ".
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When (the battle of) Uhud was at hand, my father called me at night and said: "I think that I will be the first of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to be martyred at Uhud. By Allah, after me I leave no one dearer to me than you, apart from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I owe a debt, so pay off my debt on my behalf, and take good care of your siblings." In the morning, he was the first to be martyred. I buried him with another man in a grave, but I was not content to leave him in a grave with someone else, so after six months I took him out, and he was just as he had been on the day I placed him in the grave, except for one ear.
