Events After the End of the War and Departure of the Polytheists Regarding the Dead and Wounded and the Successful Warriors, and the Signs Evident in the State of the Martyrs on the Shortened Route

Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us, saying: Abu Ja'far Al-Baghdadi told us, narrating from Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Khalid, who narrated from his father, who narrated from Ibn Lahi'ah, from Abu al-Aswad, from Urwah ibn az-Zubayr, who said:

"When Abu Sufyan called out to them as they set out, informing them: 'Your appointment is at Badr, where an annual gathering takes place.' The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'Say yes.' They responded, 'Yes, we will do that.' They called out to Abu Sufyan with this response. Urwah narrates: The polytheists withdrew to their belongings, and the Muslims did not know their intentions. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'If you see them mounting and following the tracks of the horses with heavy luggage, they aim to come closer to the houses and the provisions containing treasures and women. By Allah, if they act upon that, I will engage them in their dwellings.’

When they turned back, Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas was sent to their tracks, saying: 'Get to know their situation.' Sa'd went out to seek information, then returned and reported: 'I saw their horses striking with their tails wildly flicking, their riders bearing the weight moving swiftly. They were eager for the departure of the enemy, spreading out to seek their killers. But they did not find any slain except for Hunaythah ibn Abi Amir, whose father was with the polytheists but he was left behind. They found Hamzah ibn Abdul Muttalib, the Prophet's uncle, with his belly torn open, his liver scooped up and chewed by the beasts, Ali was also sent according to Ibn Ishaq."

Translation

Ali killed him and cut open his belly, and his liver was taken to Hind bint Utbah as a vow she made when her father was killed on the day of Badr. The Muslims proceeded to kill their enemies and bury them - may Allah be pleased with them.

Women from the emigrants and the supporters came out carrying water and food on their backs. Among them was Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah. When she saw her father covered in blood, she embraced him and wiped the blood from his face. The Prophet then said: "The wrath of Allah intensifies against those who shed the blood of the Messenger of Allah. It intensifies against a man who killed someone whom the Messenger of Allah had killed."

Ali ibn Abi Talib went to get water in a container, and the Prophet intended to drink from it but found a bad smell, so he rinsed his mouth with it. Fatimah then washed the blood from her father. When the Prophet saw Ali's sword stained with blood, he said: "If you had fought well, you would have done as well as Asim ibn Thabit, Harith ibn Simmah, and Sahl ibn Hunaif." The Prophet asked about the people and their actions. Most of them had disbelieved. The polytheists would never harm them again; they were defeated and went back to their homes.

Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz reported that Muhammad ibn Abdullah Al-Saffar narrated that Ali came with a sword on the day of Uhud, bent, and asked Fatimah to sharpen it. When she did, the Prophet said, "If you knew how to use it properly, you would have done it well."

Translation of the Classical Arabic Text

Four individuals - Sahl ibn Hunayf, Abu Dujana, Aasim ibn Thabit, and Al-Harith ibn As-Simma - narrated the following:

Abu Abdillah Al-Hafiz informed us, saying: Abu Al-Husayn Ubaydullah ibn Muhammad Al-Qatti'i from Baghdad, from his book's original source, reported to us. He said: Abu Ismail Muhammad ibn Ismail narrated to us, saying: Abdullah ibn Abdullah Al-Uwaysi informed us, saying: Suleiman ibn Bilal narrated to us, from Abd Al-A'la ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Farwah, from Qatan ibn Wahb, from Ubayd ibn Umair, from Abu Huraira, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when he returned from Uhud, passed by Mus'ab ibn Umair who was killed on his way. The Prophet stood by him, prayed for him, and recited the verse: "Among the believers are men true to what they promised Allah. Among them is he who has fulfilled his vow, and among them is he who awaits. And they have not changed [their position] in the least." Then the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "I bear witness that these are martyrs in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection. Visit them and greet them, and I swear by Him in whose hand is my soul, no one will greet them till the Day of Resurrection except that they will return his greetings." This is how I found it in my book from Abu Huraira.

Then Muhammad ibn Ubaydullah ibn Muhammad ibn Hamdawaih informed us, saying: Muhammad ibn Salih ibn Hani narrated to us, saying: Yahya ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya informed us, saying: Abdullah ibn Abdul Wahab Al-Harbi told us, saying: Hatim ibn Ismail narrated to us, from Abd Al-A'la ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Farwah, from Qatan ibn Wahb, from Ubayd ibn Umair, from Abu Dhar, who said: When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, finished [his affairs] on the day of Uhud, he passed by Mus'ab ibn...

Note: The Arabic text contains references to specific individuals who are part of the chain of narration for the hadith.

The Account of Saad bin Rabi in the Classical Hadith Tradition

In the narration transmitted by Qutaibah from Hatim as a trustworthy chain, it is reported that Saad bin Rabi read the verse: "Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah" (Quran 33:23) while he was wounded on his way. The report continues through a chain of narrators, including the mention of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) sending his greetings through a companion who finds Saad injured in battle.

Saad, upon being asked whether he belongs amongst the living or the dead, insists that he is among the deceased and sends his sincere regards to the Prophet, expressing his contentment with the reward bestowed upon him. He urges his people to convey his message that there will be no excuse for them before Allah if they do not remain steadfast in their faith, alluding to a miraculous sign visible in their community.

The narrative further details the Prophet's quest to find Hamza, a beloved companion, amidst the casualties of battle. Hamza is discovered mutilated beyond recognition, with his nose and ears severed. This grim reality is relayed by the narrator, Ibn Ishaq, who had directly conversed with a source close to Saad bin Rabi.

The Story of Safiyya bint Abd al-Muttalib at the Battle of Uhud

Introduction

Buraydah ibn Sufyan narrated to me from Muhammad ibn Ka'b, saying: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saw what Hamzah suffered of mutilation and playing with his nose, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Had not Safiyya been alarmed and set a precedent [after me], he would not have been left until he would be in the bellies of wild beasts and the crops of birds."

The Intent to Avenge

It is also narrated from Ibn Ishaq that his teachers who narrated the story of Uhud from him said: Safiyya bint Abd al-Muttalib approached to see Hamzah at Uhud, her brother through her mother and father. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, then instructed her son, Zubayr, saying, "Bring her back so she does not see what happened to her brother." Zubayr met her and relayed the Prophet's message. She responded by stating her satisfaction with what had happened, and she was ready to endure patiently. Zubayr then reported her words to the Prophet, who replied, "Let her be, and she came, looked at him, sought his forgiveness, and prayed for him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, then ordered his burial."

Conclusion

This story is not found in the mentioned source [١٢], the news regarding it can be found in the biography of Ibn Hisham [٣: ٣٩], as reported by Ibn Kathir in his historical work [٤: ٣٩].

The Story of Safiyya Seeking Hamza

The hadith narrates that after the death of Hamza on the day of Uhud, Safiyya came searching for him, not knowing what had happened. Ali and Zubayr met her, with Ali advising Zubayr to remind his mother, but Zubayr preferring Ali to remind his aunt. Upon their inquiry about Hamza, both Safiyya and the men were unaware. The Prophet, fearing for her sanity, placed his hand on her chest, prayed for her, at which point she regained her composure and wept. He then prayed over the deceased. Safiyya's reaction led the Prophet to comment on the emotional nature of women, pondering leaving such matters to the birds of prey and wild animals.

Prayer for the Martyrs

The narrative continues with the Prophet praying for the martyrs, offering seven takbirs over some and nine over others. The hadith is further detailed by Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad, though the chain of narration is incomplete in Jabir's account. This narration has been cited by al-Haythami, attributing it to al-Tabarani and al-Bazzar. Furthermore, al-Salhi has transmitted it in his work on the Sham region.

Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad

Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad, a prominent figure among the Shia, exhibited strengths and weaknesses in hadith transmission. Despite being praised as credible by some scholars, doubts arose due to his memory decline in later years. Some deemed him reliable, while others cited his lapse in memorization, leading to fantastical tales. Al-Ajli mentioned his controversy, indicating his potential as a trustworthy narrator compromised by lapses in later years.

Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) on the Day of Hamza's Martyrdom

Abdullah ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said on the day Hamza was killed and mutilated, "If I can defeat the Quraysh, I will mutilate seventy of them in retaliation." Allah then revealed, "And if you punish, then punish with the like of that with which you were punished" (Quran 16:126). The Prophet said, "We will be patient, O Lord." Abu Huraira reported that the Prophet stood over Hamza when he was martyred and mutilated. The Prophet said, "May Allah have mercy on you, for you were a protector of kinship ties and a source of good deeds. If it were not for the anguish I feel for you, I would allow you to be devoured by various wild animals until you are gathered with different groups." The Prophet then swore that he would mutilate seventy Quraysh in the place of Hamza. Then Gabriel descended and said verse 126 of Surah An-Nahl up to the end of the surah, and the Prophet endured patiently.

About the Narrator

Salih ibn Bashir Al-Murri was a noted ascetic preacher from Basra. Ibn Ma'in considered him weak, while Ahmad said he dealt with stories and not hadith. Al-Bukhari described him as a fabricator of hadith, and An-Nasa'i labeled him as unreliable. (Source: Al-Mizan Fi 'I'tidal 2:289)

Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) Reaction to the Martyrdom of Hamza

Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) stood at the place where Hamza was martyred and looked at a sight that had never pained his heart as much. He narrated the rest of the incident that was similar to the narration of Ibn Abbas.

The Outcome of the Battle of Uhud

Abu Ka'b, who was among the Ansar, reported that on the Day of Uhud, 64 Ansar and 6 Muhajireen, including Hamza, were martyred. The Ansar vowed to avenge the deaths and stated their intention. However, when Mecca was conquered, an unknown man proclaimed, "There is no longer Quraysh after today," which led to the revelation of the verse: "And if you punish [an enemy, O believers], punish with an equivalent of that with which you were harmed. But if you are patient - it is better for those who are patient" [Quran, 16:126]. The Prophet (PBUH) then advised to withhold from retaliation.

Hamza's Martyrdom and the Prophet's Discomfort

As Safiyya, on the day of Uhud, brought two shirts for Hamza, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) disliked seeing her visit Hamza's grave.

Story of Umm Hakim Bint al-Harith

Once, the idolaters captured Umm Hakim and sent the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

When he arrived, he asked Zubayr to detain her. Upon seeing him, she refused at first. However, when she realized that it was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) who had sent him, she stood up and took two garments. Next to her was the slain Hamza, a martyr from the Ansar. They hesitated about whether to wrap Hamza or the Ansari in the better garment. The Messenger declared, "Cast a lot, and whoever is chosen first shall have the better garment." Reflecting the color of blood, the martyrs were buried in their respective garments.

The Martyrdom of Uhud

When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) witnessed the martyrs of Uhud, he claimed, "I am a witness over these people. No one wounded for the sake of Allah, except that on the Day of Resurrection, his wound will ooze blood like the color of blood and smell like musk. Look for them collectively for the Quran and keep it in front of the deceased. They should be buried in pairs or threes." Some Muslims carried their slain to Madinah for burial, but the Messenger forbade it, insisting they be buried where they fell.

Reference note: The narration is documented in various sources, indicating the importance and validity of the account.

Story of the Retrieval of the Bodies of the Martyrs of Uhud

Under the authority of Ibn Ishaq, who narrated from his father, Isaac ibn Yasar, from men of the Banu Salimah tribe that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said when Amr ibn al-Jamuuh and Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Haram were both killed at the Battle of Uhud, they were buried next to each other. Ibn Ishaq reported that his father stated that elders from the Ansar shared that when Muawiyah lost his eye. Its blood splattered on the graves of the martyrs. They retrieved the bodies, their faces covered with burial clothes, and a part of the earth was on their feet. Upon removal, they appeared as if they were buried yesterday.

Additional Narrations

Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz reported from Abdullah ibn Ibrahim al-Mattuni, who narrated from Khalid ibn Khidash about the same incident. They brought out the bodies bundled up after forty years.

According to Ibn Hisham’s biography and Al-Salihi's chronicle, Ibn Kathir detailed this event in his historical account.

For more details, refer to the relevant footnotes.

Translation of the Passage

Ja'far said: Ayoub claimed and mentioned the meaning of that increase.

Abu Tahir Al-Faqih informed us saying: Abu Hamid bin Bilal Al-Bazzaz narrated to us, saying: Yahya bin Ar-Rabi narrated to us, saying: Sufyan reported from Al-Aswad, from Nubayh Al-Anzi, from Jabir: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, ordered that the martyrs of Uhud be returned to their original positions.

Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz and Abu Bakr bin Al-Hasan Al-Qadi said: Abu Al-Abbas Muhammad bin Ya'qub narrated to us, saying: Ibrahim bin Marzuq stated: Abu Al-Walid Hisham bin Abd Al-Malik At-Tayalisi informed us, saying: Abu Awana narrated to us, saying: Al-Aswad reported from Nubayh Al-Anzi, from Jabir bin Abdullah al-Ansari, saying: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, went from Madinah to fight the polytheists. My father Abdullah said to me, "O Jabir, it's better for you to stay in Medina to monitor our affairs. If not for leaving daughters behind, I would prefer for you to be killed in my place." While I was monitoring, my aunt came with my father and uncle for burial. A man shouted that the Messenger of Allah ordered us to return the martyrs to be buried where they fell. So, we returned.

Additional Information

(34) In the hadith narrated by Abu Dawood in the Funeral Prayers section concerning carrying the deceased from one place to another and its disapproval, reported by Muhammad bin Kathir, from Sufyan Ath-Thawri, and by At-Tirmidhi in the Book of Jihad, under the section on burying the deceased at the place of their death, from Mahmoud bin Ghailan, from Abu Dawood, from Shu'bah, and also narrated by An-Nasai in the Funerals section, under the section on where the martyr should be buried, from Muhammad bin Mansur, from Sufyan bin Uyaynah, and from Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak, from Wakii', from Ath-Thawri, and Ibn Majah in the Funeral Prayers section, under the section on praying for and burying martyrs, from Hisham bin Ammar, and Sahl bin Abi Sahl, both from Sufyan bin Uyaynah, all from Al-Aswad bin Qais. At-Tirmidhi said, "It is a good and authentic hadith," and Imam Ahmad reported it in his Musnad.

Biography of Abdullah bin Amr bin Haram and Amr bin al-Jamuh

In this passage, it is narrated that during the caliphate of Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan, a man informed Jabir that Abu Amal triggered Muawiyah's jealousy. Jabir visited Abu Amal and found him unchanged except for the touch on the deceased. Abdullah bin Amr and Amr bin al-Jamuh were buried together due to their close bond, and their bodies were found intact years later.

Events at Uhud

On the day of Uhud, Prophet Muhammad ordered to bury Abdullah bin Amr and Amr bin al-Jamuh together in one grave due to their strong bond. Their bodies remained preserved and undecayed, even though Abdullah had a wound on his hand that bled but then healed miraculously.

Jabir described finding his father in the grave looking as if he were asleep. When asked about Abdullah's burial shroud, it was revealed that he was buried with his face covered by a red garment and two sandals on his feet. Although the bodies were buried under a flowing river, the water miraculously stayed away from the grave. Forty-six years later, the bodies were found in the same state.

Jabir consulted to perfume the bodies with musk, but the Prophet's companions opposed this idea.

Translation of Classical Arabic Text

It is said that when Mu'awiya intended to channel the water of Al-Kathamah, he called his people in Al-Madinah and said: 'Whoever has someone killed in Uhud, let him testify.' So the people went out to kill their slain and found them in pieces being nibbled by rats. Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri said: 'After this, nothing can be more disdainful than this.' Abdullah ibn Amr and Amr ibn Al-Jamuh were found in a single grave, so they were removed. This was because the canal was passing over their grave. Kharijah ibn Zaid and Sa'd ibn Ar-Rabi' were also found in a single grave so they were left.

They used to dig the soil, so they dug a little bit, and the scent of musk emanated from it. This is mentioned in the narration of the people of Maghazi that Amr ibn Al-Jamuh was in a single grave with them until this particular time.

My father called me in the night before Uhud and said: 'I see myself killed among the first of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). I do not want anyone other than yourself to be more honorable to me than the soul of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). I have a debt, so settle it and treat your sisters well.' We went in the morning, and he was the first one killed. I buried him with another in one grave. I felt it was not right to leave him there, so I removed him after six months, and he was intact like the day I laid him down, except that he was missing an ear.

Al-Kathamah is like a channel, and its plural is Katim. They are wells that are dug in the ground in a systematic manner. Some of them pierce through each other underground, collecting flowing water, then it emerges at its end, flowing over the surface of the earth.

This account is lengthy in Al-Waqidi's Maghazi (1:266-268).

Hadith on the Treatment of Martyrs

In this hadith, transmitted through a chain of narrators, it is reported that the Ansar came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) on the day of Uhud, seeking guidance on how to treat those who had died as martyrs.

The Prophet instructed them to dig wider graves to accommodate two or three bodies in each. When asked who should be buried first, he suggested prioritizing those who knew the Quran well.

It is narrated that on that day, the father of 'Ammar ibn Yasir was among the martyrs and was placed between two others. This incident is recorded by Abu Dawood in his book of funerals.

These discussions are documented by Muhammad ibn Rumh, as well as by other scholars such as Qutaibah and Yazid ibn Khaled.

Hadith about the Battle of Uhud

The Prophet ﷺ said: "We complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the wounds we suffered on the day of Uhud and how difficult it was for us to dig due to the rockiness of the ground. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Dig deeper and bring me those who know the most Quran.' My father was brought forward ahead of two men."

Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: "When my father was killed in the Battle of Uhud, I wept and uncovered his face. The companions of the Prophet ﷺ tried to stop me, but the Prophet ﷺ did not prevent me. He said, 'Do not weep or grieve, for the angels shaded him with their wings until they lifted him up.'

Story of Self-Sacrifice

In a heart-touching incident, God Almighty said to someone from behind a veil, "O My servant, ask of Me, and I shall grant you." The servant replied, "I ask You to send me back to the world so I may be killed in Your cause again." God informed him that those who are killed in His path are alive in His presence.

A Noble Sacrifice

It is narrated that Mus'ab bin 'Umayr and Hamza were both outstanding individuals who were killed and could only be wrapped in a single sheet each for burial. Upon witnessing this exemplary sacrifice, they acknowledged that they could expect no more in this temporal life.

Authentic Sources

This moving account is recorded by Imam al-Bukhari in his Sahih, narrated by Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Makki. The story is also found in the books of Ibn Kathir and Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, emphasizing the nobility of sacrifice for a higher cause.

Seeking the Face of Allah

We seek the face of Allah, so our reward is incumbent upon Allah. Among us are those who have gone, having not consumed their reward, like Mus'ab ibn Umair who was martyred on the Day of Uhud. He had nothing but a piece of cloth, when we covered his head, his legs showed, and when we covered his legs, his head showed. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, instructed us to cover his head with it and put fragrant grass over his feet. Some of us have been recompensed with the fruits of their good deeds. Reported by al-Bukhari in his Sahih from Muhammad ibn Kathir. And also reported from other chains by al-Aswad from Urwah ibn az-Zubayr. Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us that Abu Ja'far al-Baghdadi said that Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Khalid narrated to them from his father, who narrated from Ibn Lahi'ah, who narrated from al-Aswad, who narrated from Urwah ibn az-Zubayr, who said: When the Prophet, peace be upon him, entered the alleys of Medina, he heard mourning and weeping in the houses. He asked: “What is this?” They replied: “These are the women of Ansar mourning their slain ones.” When he heard the crying, his uncle Hamzah was mentioned to him, so he asked for forgiveness for him and said, "But as for Hamzah, there will be no crying for him today in Medina.” Then he heard the words of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, Sa'd ibn Ubadah, Mu'adh ibn Jabal, and Abdallah ibn Rawahah. They walked in their courtyards until all the crying and lamenting in Medina gathered. They said: “By Allah, you shall not cry for anyone killed today.”

Compassion of the Ansar for Hamza

The Ansar were so moved by the death of Hamza, the uncle of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that they wept. They were eager for the approval of the Prophet and disapproved of shedding tears. When Abdullah ibn Rawaha began lamenting, the Prophet heard him and asked the reason. Upon learning about the Ansar's emotional display in honor of their fallen, the Prophet forgave them. He appreciated their intention to seek his consent and said, "This is not what I intended, and I do not like crying." He then prohibited it. (Narrated by Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz)

Humility Amidst Adversity

During the return from the Battle of Uhud, the Prophet met Hamna bint Jahsh, who mourned for her slain loved ones. She grieved for her brother, then her uncle Hamza, and finally her husband Musab ibn Umayr. Witnessing her steadfastness in times of loss, the Prophet remarked on the remarkable compassion women have for their family members. (Narrated by Ibn Ishaq)

The Compassion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)

Upon seeing women crying over their deceased, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said to them, "Go back, may Allah have mercy on you, for indeed you have caused me pain with yourselves."

An Account of a Woman from the Ansar

It is narrated that a woman from the Ansar of the tribe of Bani Dhubyan lost her husband and brother in the Battle of Uhud. When they were giving condolences to her, she asked, "What did the Messenger of Allah do?" They replied, "He did good, O mother of so-and-so." She requested, "Show him to me so I can see him." They indicated to her where he was, and upon seeing him, she remarked, "Every calamity after you is trivial."
