[Machine] Hamza was wrapped in a shroud in a coffin, and whenever they stretched it over his head, his legs would stick out. And when they stretched it over his legs, his head would stick out. The Prophet ﷺ commanded them to stretch it over his head and put musk on his legs. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If it were not for Safiyyah's heartbreak, we would have left Hamza unburied until Hamza is resurrected from the bellies of birds and animals."  

الحاكم:٢٥٥٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أَنْبَأَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ أَنْبَأَ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

كُفِّنَ حَمْزَةُ فِي نَمِرَةٍ كَانُوا إِذَا مَدُّوهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ خَرَجَتْ رِجْلَاهُ وَإِذَا مَدُّوهَا عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ خَرَجَ رَأْسُهُ فَأَمَرَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَمُدُّوهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَيَجْعَلُوا عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ مِنَ الْإِذْخِرِ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْلَا أَنْ تَجْزَعَ صَفِيَّةُ لَتَرَكْنَا حَمْزَةَ فَلَمْ نَدْفِنْهُ حَتَّى يُحْشَرَ حَمْزَةُ مِنْ بُطُونِ الطَّيْرِ وَالسِّبَاعِ»
