Mus'ab b. 'Umar was killed at the battle of Uhud, and for him only a coarse cloth would be found as shroud. When we covered his head, his feet showed, and when we covered his feet, his head showed. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Cover his head with it (cloth), and put some rushes over his feet. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2876)   

الطبراني:٣٦٥٦ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْأَحْوَلُ ثنا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ مَعْنٍ الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ خَبَّابَ بْنَ الْأَرَتِّ يَقُولُ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ قُتِلَ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ إِلَّا نَمِرَةً وَكَانَ إِذَا غَطَّى بِهَا وَجْهَهُ وَرَأْسَهُ بَدَتْ رِجْلَاهُ وَإِذَا غَطَّى بِهَا رِجْلَاهُ بَدَا رَأْسُهُ فَقَالَ

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «غَطُّوا بِهَا رَأْسَهُ وَضَعُوا عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْإِذْخِرِ»
