حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ، أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَهُمْ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ، فَقَالُوا : "
أَصَابَنَا قَرْحٌ ، وَجَهْدٌ ، فَكَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنَا ؟ ، قَالَ : احْفِرُوا ، وَأَوْسِعُوا ، وَاجْعَلُوا الرَّجُلَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ ، قِيلَ : فَأَيُّهُمْ يُقَدَّمُ ؟ ، قَالَ : أَكْثَرُهُمْ قُرْآنًا ، قَالَ : أُصِيبَ أَبِي يَوْمَئِذٍ عَامِرٌ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ ، أَوْ قَالَ : وَاحِدٌ
