The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed Hamzah who was killed and disfigured. He said: If Safiyyah were not grieved, I would have left him until the birds and beasts of prey would have eaten him, and he would have been resurrected from their bellies. The garments were scanty and the slain were in great number. So one, two and three persons were shrouded in one garment. The narrator Qutaybah added: They were then buried in one grave. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked: Which of the two learnt the Qur'an more? He then advanced him toward the qiblah (direction of prayer).  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ عَلَى حَمْزَةَ وَقَدْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنْ تَجِدَ صَفِيَّةُ فِي نَفْسِهَا لَتَرَكْتُهُ حَتَّى تَأْكُلَهُ الْعَافِيَةُ حَتَّى يُحْشَرَ مِنْ بُطُونِهَا وَقَلَّتِ الثِّيَابُ وَكَثُرَتِ الْقَتْلَى فَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ وَالرَّجُلاَنِ وَالثَّلاَثَةُ يُكَفَّنُونَ فِي الثَّوْبِ الْوَاحِدِ زَادَ قُتَيْبَةُ ثُمَّ يُدْفَنُونَ فِي قَبْرٍ وَاحِدٍ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَسْأَلُ أَيُّهُمْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ قُرْآنًا فَيُقَدِّمُهُ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ  

[Machine] On the day of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by Hamza ibn Abdul-Muttalib while he was wounded and disfigured. He said, "If it were not for the fact that Safiyya will miss him until Allah gathers him from the bellies of birds and wild animals, I would have left him." So he wrapped him in a cloth. When his head was covered, his feet were exposed, and when his feet were covered, his head was exposed. His head was covered and he did not offer funeral prayer for any martyr other than him. He said, "I bear witness against you all today." He used to bury three or two people in one grave and ask, "Which of them has more Qur'an?" Then he would place the most knowledgeable one in front during the burial. He wrapped the bodies of two men and three men in one cloth.  

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِحَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَقَدْ جُدِعَ وَمُثِّلَ بِهِ فَقَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنْ تَجِدَ صَفِيَّةُ تَرَكْتُهُ حَتَّى يَحْشُرَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ بُطُونِ الطَّيْرِ وَالسِّبَاعِ» فَكَفَّنَهُ فِي نَمِرَةٍ إِذَا خُمِّرَ رَأْسُهُ بَدَتْ رِجْلَاهُ وَإِذَا خُمِّرَتْ رِجْلَاهُ بَدَا رَأْسُهُ فَخُمِّرَ رَأْسُهُ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنَ الشُّهَدَاءِ غَيْرِهِ وَقَالَ «أَنَا شَاهِدٌ عَلَيْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ» وَكَانَ يَجْمَعُ الثَّلَاثَةَ وَالِاثْنَيْنِ فِي قَبْرٍ وَاحِدٍ وَيَسْأَلُ «أَيُّهُمْ أَكْثَرُ قُرْآنًا؟» فَيُقَدِّمُهُ فِي اللَّحْدِ وَكَفَّنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الثَّوْبِ الْوَاحِدِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ عَلَى حَمْزَةَ بَعْدَ أُحُدٍ وَقَدْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ فَقَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنْ تَجِدَ صَفِيَّةُ فِي نَفْسِهَا لَتَرَكْتُهُ حَتَّى تَأْكُلَهُ الْعَافِيَةُ حَتَّى يُحْشَرَ مِنْ بُطُونِهَا» ثُمَّ دَعَا بِنَمِرَةٍ فَكَانَتْ إِذَا مُدَّتْ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ بَدَتْ رِجْلَاهُ وَإِذَا مُدَّتَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ الثِّيَابُ بَدَا رَأْسُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مُدُّوهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ» وَقَلَّتِ الثِّيَابُ وَكَثُرَتِ الْقَتْلَى وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ وَالرَّجُلَانِ وَالثَّلَاثَةُ يُكَفَّنُونَ فِي الثَّوْبِ الْوَاحِدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْأَلُ أَيُّهُمْ أَكْثَرُ قُرْآنًا فَيُقَدِّمُهُ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ فَدُفِنُوا وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ  

"عَنْ أنسٍ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ مَرَّ بِحَمْزَةَ يَوْمَ أحُد وَقَدْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ، فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: لَوْلاَ أنِّى أَخْشَى أَنْ تَجِدَ صفيَّةُ فِي نَفْسِهَا لَتَرَكْتُهُ حَتَّى تَأكُلَهُ العَافِيةُ (*)، فَيُحْشَر فِى بُطُونِهَا، ثُمَّ دَعَا بَنَمِرَة فَكانَتْ إِذَا مُدَّت عَلَى رَأسِهِ بَدَتْ رِجْلاَهُ، وَإِذَا مُدَّتْ عَلى رِجْلَيْهِ بَدَا رَأسُهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : مُدُّوهَا عَلَى رَأسِهِ وَاجْعَلُوا عَلَى رِجْلَيهِ

الحَرْمَل، قلَّت الثِّيابُ وَكَثُرَت القَتْلَى، وَكَانَ الرَّجلُ وَالرَّجُلاَنِ وَالثَّلاَتَةُ يُكَفَّنونَ فِى الثَّوْبِ الوَاحِدِ، وَكَانَ النَّبِى ﷺ يَسْألُ أيُّهُمْ أكْثَرُ قُرآنًا؟ فَيُقَدِّمُهُ".
