The Prophet said, “Bury them (i.e. martyrs) with their blood.” (that was) On the day of the Battle of
Uhud. He did not get them washed.
Volume 2, Book 23, Number 431:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
Allah’s Apostle shrouded every two martyrs of Uhud in one piece of cloth and then he would ask,
“Which of them knew more Quran?” When one of them was pointed out he would put him first in
the grave. He said, “I am a witness on these.” Then he ordered them to be buried with blood on their
bodies. Neither did he offer their funeral prayer nor did he get them washed. (Jabir bin Abdullah ad –
ded): Allah’s Apostle used to ask about the martyrs of Uhud as to which of them knew more of the
Quran.” And when one of them was pointed out as having more of it he would put him first in the
grave and then his companions. (Jabir added): My father and my uncle were shrouded in one sheet.
Volume 2, Book 23, Number 432:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The Prophet said, “Allah has made Mecca a sanctuary (sacred place) and it was a sanctuary before
me and will be so after me. It was made legal for me (to fight in it) for a few hours of the day. None is
allowed to uproot its thorny shrubs or to cut its trees or to chase its game or to pick up its fallen
things except by a person who announces it publicly.” On that Al-Abbas said (to the Prophet), “Ex –
cept Al-Idhkhir for our goldsmiths and for our graves.” And so the Prophet added, “Except Al-Id –
hkhir. ” And Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet said, “Except Al-Idhkhir for our graves and
houses.” And Ibn Abbas said, “For their goldsmiths and houses.”
Volume 2, Book 23, Number 433:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
Allah’s Apostle came to Abdullah bin Ubai (a hypocrite) after his death and he has been laid in his
pit (grave). He ordered (that he be taken out of the grave) and he was taken out. Then he placed him
on his knees and threw some of his saliva on him and clothed him in his (the Prophet’s) own shirt.
Allah knows better (why he did so). ‘Abdullah bin Ubai had given his shirt to Al-Abbas to wear. Abu
Harun said, “Allah’s Apostle at that time had two shirts and the son of ‘Abdullah bin Ubai said to him,
‘O Allah’s Apostle! Clothe my father in your shirt which has been in contact with your skin.’ ‘ Sufyan
added, “Thus people think that the Prophet clothed ‘Abdullah bin Tubal in his shirt in lieu of what he
(Abdullah) had done (for Al Abbas, the Prophet’s uncle.)”

Volume 2, Book 23, Number 434:
Narrated Jabir:
When the time of the Battle of Uhud approached, my father called me at night and said, “I think
that I will be the first amongst the companions of the Prophet to be martyred. I do not leave anyone
after me dearer to me than you, except Allah’s Apostle’s soul and I owe some debt and you should re –
pay it and treat your sisters favorably (nicely and politely).” So in the morning he was the first to be
martyred and was buried along with another (martyr). I did not like to leave him with the other
(martyr) so I took him out of the grave after six months of his burial and he was in the same condi –
tion as he was on the day of burial, except a slight change near his ear.
