English narration

Narrated by جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ combined two persons from among the martyrs of Uhud (in one garment), and said: Which of the two has learnt the Quran more ? When one of them was pointed to him, he advanced him in the grave, saying: I shall be witness to all these (martyrs) on the Day of Judgement. He then ordered them to be buried without being washed.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ : أَنَّ اللَّيْثَ حَدَّثَهُمْ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "

كَانَ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ مِنْ قَتْلَى أُحُدٍ ، وَيَقُولُ : أَيُّهُمَا أَكْثَرُ أَخْذًا لِلْقُرْآنِ ؟ فَإِذَا أُشِيرَ لَهُ إِلَى أَحَدِهِمَا ، قَدَّمَهُ فِي اللَّحْدِ ، وَقَالَ : أَنَا شَهِيدٌ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَأَمَرَ بِدَفْنِهِمْ بِدِمَائِهِمْ ، وَلَمْ يُغَسَّلُوا
