Hadith 3760

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ، وَلَمْ أُتْقِنْهُ، فَقَالَ مَعْمَرٌ: إِنَّهُ حَدَّثَ عَنِ ابْنِ صُعَيْرٍ أَوِ ابْنِ أَبِي صُعَيْرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى قَتْلَى أُحُدٍ، فَقَالَ: «قَدْ شَهِدْتُ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ فَزَمِّلُوهُمْ بِدِمَائِهِمْ وَكُلُومِهِمْ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Sa'ir or Ibn Abi Sa'ir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) leaned over the martyrs of Uhud and said: "I am a witness over them, shroud them with their blood and wounds."

Brief Explanation
Explanation: This chain of narration is weak, because: Sufyan’s precision from Zuhri is deficient (“lam atqinhu” – “I did not master it”), the narrator’s name is ambiguous (Ibn Su‘ayr or Ibn Abi Su‘ayr?), and although it is established that ‘Abdullah ibn Tha‘labah met the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, hearing (direct transmission) is not established. Therefore, the narration reaching the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will, in principle, be considered mursal (a narration with a missing link between the Successor and the Prophet), and the narration of a mursal Companion, especially when weakness is also present, is considered weak.

The content is strengthened by authentic supporting narrations (because there are other authentic ahadith regarding the martyrs of Uhud from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, such as those found in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim).
