English

[2177] 44 – (940) It was narrated that Khabbâb bin A]- Aratt said: "We emigrated with the Messenger of Allah , in Allah's cause, seeking the Face of Allah, and Allah has assured us of our reward. Some of us have passed on and have not taken any of their reward, including Mu'ab bin 'Umair, who was killed on the day of (the Battle of) Ubud. We could not find anything with which to shroud him except a Namirah which,111 if we put it on his head, his feet showed, and if we put it over his feet, his head showed. The Messenger of Allah ç said: 'Put it over his head, and put some Idhkhir on his feet.' And for some of us the fruit has ripened and we are harvesting it."
