Narrated Ibrahim:
Once a meal was brought to ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Auf and he was fasting. He said, “Mustab bin
‘Umar was martyred and he was better than I and was shrouded in his Burd and when his head was
covered with it, his legs became bare, and when his legs were covered his head got uncovered.
Hamza was martyred and was better than I. Now the worldly wealth have been bestowed upon us
(or said a similar thing). No doubt, I fear that the rewards of my deeds might have been given earlier
in this world.” Then he started weeping and left his food.

Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
On the day of the Battle of Uhud, my father was brought and he had been mayhemed and was
placed in front of Allah’s Apostle and a sheet was over him. I went intending to uncover my father
but my people forbade me; again I wanted to uncover him but my people forbade me. Allah’s Apostle
gave his order and he was shifted away. At that time he heard the voice of a crying woman and
asked, “Who is this?” They said, “It is the daughter or the sister of Amr.” He said, “Why does she weep?
(or let her stop weeping), for the angels had been shading him with their wings till he (i.e. the body
of the martyr) was shifted away.”

and amongst them was Mustab bin ‘Umar; and the others were those who got their rewards. Mustab

bin ‘Umar was martyred on the day of the Battle of Uhud and we could get nothing except his Burd
to shroud him in. And when we covered his head his feet became bare and vice versa. So the Prophet
ordered us to cover his head only and to put idhkhir (a kind of shrub) over his feet.

Um ‘Atiyya (an Ansari woman who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet ) came to Basra to

necessary, with water and Sidr, and last of all put camphor, and when you finish, notify me.’ ” Um
‘Atiyya added, “After finishing, we informed him and he gave us his waist sheet and told us to shroud
her in it and did not say more than that.”
