أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، أنبأ حَاجِبُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الطُّوسِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، ثنا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ ⦗٥٦٣⦘ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ الْفَرَّاءُ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ الْوَرَّاقُ قَالَا: ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أنبأ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ خَبَّابِ بْنِ الْأَرَتِّ قَالَ: هَاجَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ نَبْتَغِي وَجْهَ اللهِ، فَوَجَبَ أَجْرُنَا عَلَى اللهِ، فَمِنَّا مَنْ مَضَى لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْئًا، مِنْهُمْ: مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ شَيْءٌ يُكَفَّنُ فِيهِ إِلَّا نَمِرَةً، فَكُنَّا إِذَا وَضَعْنَاهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ خَرَجَتْ رِجْلَاهُ، وَإِذَا وَضَعْنَاهَا عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ خَرَجَ رَأْسُهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " ضَعُوهَا مِمَّا يَلِي رَأْسَهُ، وَاجْعَلُوا عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ مِنَ الْإِذْخِرِ " قَالَ: وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَيْنَعَتْ لَهُ ثَمَرَتُهُ فَهُوَ يُهْدِيهَا ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى، وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ أُخَرَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ.
Sayyiduna Khabbab bin al-Aratt (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We emigrated with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the path of Allah, seeking the pleasure of Allah Almighty, and our reward became due upon Allah. Among us were those who passed on without enjoying anything of that reward; one of them was Mus'ab bin Umayr (may Allah be pleased with him), who was martyred on the day of Uhud. We found nothing in which to shroud him except a coarse woollen sheet (namirah); when we placed it over his face, that is, over his head, his feet came out, and when we put it over his feet, his head was left bare. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Put it over his head, and put idhkhir grass over his feet." Then he said: And among us are those whose fruit has ripened and who are picking it.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَدِيبُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا حَبَّانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ وَكَانَ صَائِمًا، فَقَالَ: " قُتِلَ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي وَكُفِّنَ فِي بُرْدَةٍ، إِنْ غُطِّيَ رَأْسُهُ بَدَتْ رِجْلَاهُ، وَإِنْ غُطِّيَ رِجْلَاهُ بَدَا رَأْسُهُ، قَالَ: وَأَرَاهُ قَالَ: وَقُتِلَ حَمْزَةُ وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي، ثُمَّ بُسِطَ لَنَا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا، أَوْ قَالَ: أُعْطِينَا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا مَا أُعْطِينَا، وَقَدْ خَشِينَا أَنْ تَكُونَ حَسَنَاتُنَا عُجِّلَتْ لَنَا، وَجَعَلَ يَبْكِي حَتَّى تَرَكَ الطَّعَامَ ". رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ عَبْدَانَ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ.
Sa'd bin Ibrahim narrates from his father that food was brought to Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was fasting, and he said: Mus'ab bin Umayr (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, and he was better than me, and he was shrouded in a sheet such that if his head was covered with it, his feet were left bare, and if his feet were covered, his head was left bare. I think he also said: Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, and he too was better than me. Then the world was spread out for us, or he said: We were given of the world what we were given, and we began to fear that our good deeds had been hastened for us. And he began to weep, until he left the food.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أنبأ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ قَالَ: أنبأ هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ: " لَمَّا انْصَرَفَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ جَلَسَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَاحِيَةً وَجَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ تَؤُمُّ الْقَتْلَى، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْمَرْأَةَ الْمَرْأَةَ " فَلَمَّا تَوَسَّمْتُهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ أُمِّي صَفِيَّةُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أُمَّهْ، ارْجِعِي، فَلَدَمَتْ فِي صَدْرِي وَقَالَتْ: لَا أَرْضَ لَكَ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْزِمُ عَلَيْكِ قَالَ: فَأَعْطَتْنِي ثَوْبَيْنِ، فَقَالَتْ: كَفِّنُوا فِي هَذَيْنِ أَخِي، قَالَ: فَوَجَدْنَا إِلَى جَنْبِ حَمْزَةَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَيْسَ لَهُ كَفَنٌ، فَوَجَدْنَا فِي أَنْفُسِنَا غَضَاضَةً أَنْ نُكَفِّنَ حَمْزَةَ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ وَالْأَنْصَارِيُّ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ لَيْسَ لَهُ كَفَنٌ، قَالَ: فَأَقْرَعْنَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي أَجْوَدِ الثَّوْبَيْنِ فَكَفَّنَّا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا فِي الثَّوْبِ الَّذِي طَارَ لَهُ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of Uhud, when the polytheists turned back, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down to one side. Meanwhile a woman came, looking over the slain, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The woman! The woman!" When I looked at her closely, it was my mother, Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her). I said: "Mother, go back." She struck me on my chest and said: 'La arda lak' (may you have no land). I said: "The beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) insists that you (go back)." He said: Then she gave me two garments and said: Shroud my brother in these. Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Beside Sayyiduna Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him) we saw the body of a Companion from the Ansar (may Allah be pleased with him) who had no shroud. We felt some unease in our hearts that we should shroud Sayyiduna Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him) in two garments while the Ansari beside him had no shroud. Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We cast lots between the two of them for the better of the two garments, then we shrouded each of them in the garment that fell to his share.
