Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي صُعَيْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ أَشْرَفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الشُّهَدَاءِ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَالَ زَمِّلُوهُمْ بِدِمَائِهِمْ فَإِنِّي قَدْ شَهِدْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَكَانَ يُدْفَنُ الرَّجُلَانِ وَالثَّلَاثَةُ فِي الْقَبْرِ الْوَاحِدِ وَيُسْأَلُ أَيُّهُمْ كَانَ أَقْرَأَ لِلْقُرْآنِ فَيُقَدِّمُونَهُ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَدُفِنَ أَبِي وَعَمِّي يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي قَبْرٍ وَاحِدٍ.
English Translation
Abd al-Razzaq told us: Ma'mar told us, from al-Zuhri, from Ibn Abi Su'ayr, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: When the day of Uhud came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked out over the martyrs who had been killed that day and said: "Wrap them in their blood, for I have borne witness concerning them." So two or three men would be buried in a single grave, and it would be asked which of them knew the Qur'an best, and he would be put forward. Jabir said: My father and my uncle were buried that day in a single grave.
