It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would say regarding the slain of Uhud: "Which of these had memorised more of the Qur'an?" When someone was pointed out, he would place him in the lahd before his companion. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: My father and my uncle were shrouded in a single striped woollen sheet.
