حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَفْوَانَ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ : أَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى حَمْزَةَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ، فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ فَرَآهُ قَدْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ : " لَوْلَا أَنْ تَجِدَ صَفِيَّةُ فِي نَفْسِهَا لَتَرَكْتُهُ حَتَّى تَأْكُلَهُ الْعَافِيَةُ حَتَّى يُحْشَرَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ بُطُونِهَا " . قَالَ : ثُمَّ دَعَا بِنَمِرَةٍ فَكَفَّنَهُ فِيهَا ، فَكَانَتْ إِذَا مُدَّتْ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ بَدَتْ رِجْلَاهُ ، وَإِذَا مُدَّتْ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ بَدَا رَأْسُهُ ، قَالَ : فَكَثُرَ الْقَتْلَى وَقَلَّتِ الثِّيَابُ ، قَالَ : فَكُفِّنَ الرَّجُلُ وَالرَّجُلَانِ وَالثَّلَاثَةُ فِي الثَّوْبِ الْوَاحِدِ ، ثُمَّ يُدْفَنُونَ فِي قَبْرٍ وَاحِدٍ ، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْأَلُ عَنْهُمْ : " أَيُّهُمْ أَكْثَرُ قُرْآنًا فَيُقَدِّمُهُ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ " ، قَالَ : فَدَفَنَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ أَنَسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَنَسٍ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ، النَّمِرَةُ الْكِسَاءُ الْخَلَقُ ، وَقَدْ خُولِفَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فِي رِوَايَةِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، فَرَوَى اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، وَرَوَى مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، وَلَا نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، إِلَّا أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ ، وَسَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدًا عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، فَقَالَ : حَدِيثُ اللَّيْثِ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَصَحُّ .
´Anas bin Malik narrated:` "The Messenger of Allah came to Hamza on the Day of Uhud, he stood over him and saw that he had been mutilated. He said: Had it not been that Safiyyah would be distressed, then I would have left him to be eaten by the beasts until he was gathered on the Day of Judgment from their stomachs." He said: "Then he called for a Namirah to shroud him with. When it was extended over his head, it left his feet exposed, and when it was extended over his feet, it left his head exposed." He said: "There were many dead and few cloths." He said: "One, two and three men were shrouded in one cloth and buried in one grave." He said: "So the Messenger of Allah was asking which of them knew the most Quran, so he could put him toward the Qibalh." He said: "So the Messenger of Allah buried them and he did not perform (funeral prayers) for them."

Explanation: 1:
After writing a detailed discussion on this subject, the author of Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi states:
In my view, the apparent ruling is that the funeral prayer (salat al-janazah) is not obligatory upon a martyr (shahid). However, if it is performed, it is permissible.
And al-Mawardi has transmitted this statement from Imam Ahmad: that performing the funeral prayer over a martyr is preferable, and if the funeral prayer is not performed over him, then (his) martyrdom will suffice for him.
