"عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَال رسُولُ الله ﷺ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ: احْفِرُوا وأَعْمِقُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَأَحْسِنُوا وَادْفِنُوا الاِثْنَيْنِ والثَّلاَثَةَ فِى قَبْرٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَقَدِّمُوا أَكثَرهُم قُرآنًا".

Collected by Nasāʾī, Tirmidhī, Aḥmad, Ṭabarānī, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, Bayhaqī, Suyūṭī"On the day of Uhud some of the people among the Muslims were killed, and people were wounded. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Dig graves and make them wide, and bury two or three in a grave, and put the one who knew more Qur'an in first."'
لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ أُصِيبَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَأَصَابَ النَّاسَ جِرَاحَاتٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَادْفِنُوا الاِثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلاَثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ وَقَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا
"On the day of Uhud the people were exhausted. The Prophet said: 'Dig graves and make them wide, and bury two or three in a grave.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, who should we 'put in first? He said: 'Put in first the one who knew the Qur'an most."'
لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ أَصَابَ النَّاسَ جَهْدٌ شَدِيدٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَادْفِنُوا الاِثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلاَثَةَ فِي قَبْرٍ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ نُقَدِّمُ قَالَ قَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا
"Many people were wounded on the day of Uhud and complaints were made to the Messenger of Allah about that. He said: 'Dig graves and make them good and wide, and bury two or three in a grave, and put in first the one who knew the Qur'an most."'
اشْتَدَّ الْجِرَاحُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَشُكِيَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَأَحْسِنُوا وَادْفِنُوا فِي الْقَبْرِ الاِثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلاَثَةَ وَقَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا
"Dig graves and dig them well, and bury two or three (together), and put in first the one who knew the Qur'an most."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ احْفِرُوا وَأَحْسِنُوا وَادْفِنُوا الاِثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلاَثَةَ وَقَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا
"My father was killed on the day of Uhud, and the Prophet said: 'Dig graves and make them good and wide, and bury two or three in a grave, and put in first the one who knew the Qur'an most.' My father was the third of three, and the one who knew the Qur'an most was placed (in the grave) first."
النَّبِيُّ ﷺ احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَأَحْسِنُوا وَادْفِنُوا الاِثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلاَثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ وَقَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا فَكَانَ أَبِي ثَالِثَ ثَلاَثَةٍ وَكَانَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا فَقُدِّمَ
"On the day of Uhud, the wounded complained to the Messenger of Allah, so he said: 'Dig, and make it wide, and appropriate, and bury two and three in one grave. And advance the one who knew the most Qu'ran.' My father had died so he placed before two men."
شُكِيَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْجِرَاحَاتُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَأَحْسِنُوا وَادْفِنُوا الاِثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلاَثَةَ فِي قَبْرٍ وَاحِدٍ وَقَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا فَمَاتَ أَبِي فَقُدِّمَ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَجُلَيْنِ

[Machine] They complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about their injuries on the day of Uhud and said, "How can you order our killing?" He said, "Dig and broaden and do it well and bury them in the grave of two or three of them, and advance the majority of them in recitation of the Quran." Hisham said, "So my father was placed before two people."
شَكَوْا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْقَرْحَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَقَالُوا كَيْفَ تَأْمُرُ بِقَتْلَانَا؟ قَالَ احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَأَحْسِنُوا وَادْفِنُوا فِي الْقَبْرِ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ وَقَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا قَالَ هِشَامٌ فَقُدِّمَ أَبِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْ اثْنَيْنِ

[Machine] The wounds intensified on the day of Uhud, so they complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the wounds. He said, "Dig and enlarge and clean and bury the two and three in the grave, and present the majority of them with the Qur'an." So they presented my father (Abi) between the hands of two men.
اشْتَدَّتِ الْجِرَاحَاتُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَشَكَوْا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْجِرَاحَاتِ فَقَالَ «احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَأَحْسِنُوا وَادْفِنُوا الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ وَقَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا» فَقَدَّمُوا أَبِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَجُلَيْنِ
[Machine] They complained to the Prophet ﷺ about wounds and dug holes for each person on the day of Uhud. He said, "Dig deeper, make it bigger, make it well, and bury two or three people in one grave." They asked, "Who should we bury first?" He said, "The one who knows the most Quran."
شَكَوْا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْقَرْحَ وَالْحَفْرَ لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ «احْفِرُوا وَأَعْمِقُوا وَأَحْسِنُوا وَادْفِنُوا الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي قَبْرٍ» قَالُوا فَمَنْ نُقَدِّمُ؟ قَالَ «أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said regarding the martyrs of Uhud: "Bury the two and three together in one grave, dig deep, and ensure a good burial."
