English narration

Narrated by خباب بن الأرت التميمي

Narrated Khabbab: Musab bin Umari was killed on the day of Uhud. He had only a striped cloak. When we covered his head with it, his feet appeared, and when we covered his feet, his head appeared. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Cover his head with it, and cover his feet with some grass.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ خَبَّابٍ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ مُصْعَبَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِلَّا نَمِرَةٌ ، كُنَّا إِذَا غَطَّيْنَا بِهَا رَأْسَهُ ، خَرَجَ رِجْلَاهُ ، وَإِذَا غَطَّيْنَا رِجْلَيْهِ ، خَرَجَ رَأْسُهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

غَطُّوا بِهَا رَأْسَهُ ، وَاجْعَلُوا عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْإِذْخِرِ

" .
