English narration
Narrated by جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري
My father's mutilated body was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) and was placed in front of him. I went to uncover his face but my companions forbade me. Then mourning cries of a lady were heard, and it was said that she was either the daughter or the sister of `Amr. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why is she crying?" Or said, "Do not cry, for the angels are still shading him with their wings." (Al-Bukhari asked Sadqa, a sub-narrator, "Does the narration include the expression 'Till he was lifted?' " The latter replied, "Jabir may have said it.")

حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا ، يَقُولُ : جِيءَ بِأَبِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ وَوُضِعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، فَذَهَبْتُ أَكْشِفُ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ فَنَهَانِي قَوْمِي ، فَسَمِعَ صَوْتَ صَائِحَةٍ ، فَقِيلَ : ابْنَةُ عَمْرٍو أَوْ أُخْتُ عَمْرٍو ، فَقَالَ : "
لِمَ تَبْكِي أَوْ لَا تَبْكِي مَا زَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تُظِلُّهُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا ، قُلْتُ : لِصَدَقَةَ أَفِيهِ حَتَّى رُفِعَ ، قَالَ : رُبَّمَا قَالَهُ
