English Translation
Khabbab said: 'We are a people who emigrated with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), and our reward became due from Allah. Among us were those who were taken and did not consume any of their reward - among them was Mus'ab ibn 'Umayr who was killed on the day of Uhud. Nothing was found for him except a striped cloak - when his head was covered, his feet were exposed, and when his feet were covered, his head was exposed. This was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), and he said: Cover his head with it and place idhkhir (lemongrass) on him. And among us are those whose fruits have ripened and he is harvesting them.'
