Volume 5 Book 58 Hadith 253

Volume 5, Book 58, Number 253:
Narrated Khabbab:
We migrated with Allah’s Apostle seeking Allah’s Countenance, so our rewards became due and
sure with Allah. Some of us passed away without eating anything of their rewards in this world. One
of these was Mus’ab bin ‘Umar who was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud. We did not find
anything to shroud his body with except a striped cloak. When we covered his head with it, his feet
remained uncovered, and when we covered his feet with it, his head remained uncovered. So Allah’s
Apostle ordered us to cover his head with it and put some Idhkhir (i.e. a kind of grass) over his feet.
