Hadith 3751
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أنا مُغِيرَةُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: «إِذَا قُتِلَ الرَّجُلُ فِي الْمَعْرَكَةِ فَلَا يُغَسَّلُ وَلَا يُحَنَّطُ، وَيُكَفَّنُ فِي ثِيَابِهِ فِي وِتْرٍ مِنْهَا، وَيُنْزَعُ عَنْهُ مَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ فِرَاءٍ أَوْ مِنْ خُفٍّ، فَإِنِ احْتُمِلَ وَبِهِ رَمَقٌ غُسِّلَ وَحُنِّطَ وَصُلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ»
Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "When a person is killed on the battlefield, he should neither be given a ritual bath nor be perfumed; rather, he should be shrouded in his clothes, in an odd number among them. Those things should be removed from him which are outer garments or socks. And if he is picked up while there is still some life in him, then he should be given a ritual bath, perfumed, and the funeral prayer should be offered for him."
Hadith 3752
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ الطَّائِيِّ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ الْقَارِئَ - وَكَانَ يُسَمَّى عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْقَارِئَ - قُتِلَ يَوْمَ الْقَادِسِيَّةِ وَكَانَ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَا تُغَسِّلُوا عَنِّي دَمًا، وَلَا تَنْزِعُوا عَنِّي ثَوْبًا إِلَّا جِلْدًا»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Tariq bin Shihab (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sa’d bin Ubaid, the reciter, who was called a reciter in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), was killed on the day of Qadisiyyah. And he had said: "Do not wash my blood and do not remove any of my clothes except the leather one."
Hadith 3753
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا أَبُو وَكِيعٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: خَطَبَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ، وَقَالَ: «إِنَّا لَاقُو الْعَدُوِّ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، وَلَا أُرَانِي إِلَّا مُسْتَشْهَدًا فَلَا تَنْزِعُوا عَنِّي ثَوْبًا إِلَّا خُفًّا»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Tariq bin Shihab (may Allah be pleased with him) that at Qadisiyyah, Sa’d bin Ubaid delivered a sermon to us and said: “Tomorrow, we will meet the enemy, insha’Allah, and I have a strong feeling that I will be martyred. So, let no garment be removed from my body except the socks.”
Hadith 3754
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أنا مَنْصُورٌ، وَيُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي الشَّهِيدِ: «يُغَسَّلُ»
It is narrated from Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) that he used to say regarding the martyr: "He should be given a bath."
Hadith 3755
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: أنا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: «يُنْزَعُ عَنِ الْقَتِيلِ الْفَرْوُ، وَالْمُوزَجَيْنِ، وَالِافَرَاهِيجَيْنِ، وَالْجَوْرَبَيْنِ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ الْجَوْرَبَانِ يُكْمِلَانِ وِتْرًا فَيُتْرَكَانِ عَلَيْهِ، وَيُدْفَنُ فِي ثِيَابِهِ»
It is narrated from Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) that the furwa (hairy garment), socks, soft shoes, and stockings should be removed from the martyr, except in the case where the stockings complete an odd number, then they should be left. And he should be buried in his own clothes.
Hadith 3756
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ: " خَرَجْنَا فِي جَيْشٍ نَحْوَ فَارِسَ فِيهِمْ عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، وَمِعْضَدٌ الْعِجْلِيُّ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ النَّخَعِيُّ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ، فَحَاصَرْنَا قَصْرًا، وَكَانَ مَعَنَا صَاحِبٌ لَنَا مَرِيضٌ، فَحَفَرْنَا لَهُ قَبْرًا، فَرَأَى يَزِيدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ كَأَنَّهُ بِغُزَيْلٍ أَبْيَضَ حَتَّى دُفِنَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْقَبْرِ، وَكَانَ يَزِيدُ أَبْيَضَ خَفِيفًا فَجَعَلَ يَتَعَرَّضُ الْقَصْرَ، فَأَصَابَهُ حَجَرٌ فَقَتَلَهُ، فَجِئْنَا بِهِ، فَدَفَنَّاهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْقَبْرِ، وَخَرَجَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عُتْبَةَ يَتَعَرَّضُ لِلْقَصْرِ وَعَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ بَيْضَاءُ جَدِيدَةٌ، فَقَالَ: مَا أَحْسَنَ تَحَدُّرَ الدَّمِ عَلَى هَذِهِ فَأَصَابَهُ حَجَرٌ، فَقَتَلَهُ فَتَحَدَّرَ الدَّمُ عَلَى جُبَّتِهِ، فَدَفَنَّاهُ، وَخَرَجَ مِعْضَدٌ يَتَعَرَّضُ لِلْقَصْرِ فَأَصَابَهُ حَجَرٌ، فَشَجَّهُ، فَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُهَا بِيَدِهِ، وَيَقُولُ: إِنَّهَا لَصَغِيرَةٌ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيُبَارِكُ فِي الصَّغِيرَةِ، فَمَاتَ مِنْهَا فَدَفَنَّاهُ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him): We set out with an army towards Persia. Among them were Alqamah bin Qais, Mu’addad ‘Ajli, Yazid bin Mu’awiyah Nakha’i, and Amr bin Utbah bin Firqad. We besieged a fortress. There was a sick companion with us, and a grave was dug for him. Yazid bin Mu’awiyah saw in a dream that a white goat was being buried in that grave. Then Yazid went near the fortress, and a stone struck him which killed him. We buried him in that same grave. Then Amr bin Utbah went near the fortress; he was wearing a new white cloak. He said: “How beautiful will be the sight of blood flowing on this.” Then a stone struck him as well, which killed him. Blood flowed on his cloak. We buried him. Then Mu’addad went near the fortress, and a stone struck his head. He said: “This is a small wound; Allah puts blessing even in small things.” Then he died from that wound, and we buried him.
Hadith 3757
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: نا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ نُبَيْحٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «أَمَرَ بِقَتْلَى أُحُدٍ أَنْ يُرَدُّوا إِلَى مَصَارِعِهِمْ بَعْدَ مَا حُمِلُوا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered regarding the martyrs of Uhud that they be taken back to the places where they were killed, after they had been brought to Madinah.
Hadith 3758
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا صَالِحُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: نا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ: " غَزَوْنَا خُرَاسَانَ فِي زَمَنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَإِنَّا لَمُحَاصِرُونَ حِصْنًا مِنْ حُصُونِ حَارِزْمَ، وَأَقَمْنَا سَنَتَيْنِ نُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَمَا نَصُوصُ الْفَرِيضَةَ، وَمَعَنَا مِعْضَدٌ الْعِجْلِيُّ وَاقِفٌ عَلَيْهِ قَبَاءٌ لَهُ أَبْيَضُ، فَقَالَ: مَا أَحْسَنَ أَثَرَ الدَّمِ فِي هَذَا الْقَبَاءِ، فَمَا كَانَتْ مَقَالَتُهُ بِأَسْرَعَ مِنْ أَنْ رُمِينَا بِالْمَنْجَنِيقِ مِنَ الْحِصْنِ، فَانْكَسَرَ مِنْهُ ثَلَاثُ فِرَقٍ، فَأَصَابَتْهُ فِرْقَةٌ مِنْهُ، فَجَعَلَ يَمَسُّهَا وَيَقُولُ: إِنَّهَا لَصَغِيرَةٌ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَجْعَلُ فِي الصَّغِيرَةِ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا، فَانْصَرَفْنَا بِهِ، فَمَاتَ " فَكَانَ عَلْقَمَةُ يَلْبَسُ ذَلِكَ الْقَبَاءَ بِالْكُوفَةِ، وَقَدْ غَسَلَ عَنْهُ أَثَرَ الدَّمِ، وَقَدْ بَقِيَ أَثَرُهُ، وَيَقُولُ: «إِنَّهُ لَيُحَبِّبُ إِلَيَّ لَبُوسَ هَذَا الْقَبَاءِ تَذَكُّرِي دَمَ مِعْضَدٍ فِيهِ»
Sayyiduna Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: We fought in jihad in Khurasan during the time of Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). We were besieging a fortress in Khwarazm, and for two years we performed two rak‘ahs with qasr (shortened prayer) and did not omit any obligatory act. With us was Mu‘addad ‘Ajli, who was standing wearing a white cloak. He said: “How good would it be if a mark of blood appeared on this cloak.” As soon as he said this, three stones were thrown from the fortress by a catapult, and one struck him. He passed his hand over the wound and said: “This is minor; Allah brings good even in small things.” We carried him away, and he passed away. Alqamah used to wear that cloak in Kufa, in which the mark of blood remained even after washing, and he used to say: “I like to keep wearing this cloak because it reminds me of Mu‘addad’s blood.”
