حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْمُنْکَدِرِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ جِيئَ بِأَبِي إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ وَوُضِعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَذَهَبْتُ أَکْشِفُ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ فَنَهَانِي قَوْمِي فَسَمِعَ صَوْتَ صَائِحَةٍ فَقِيلَ ابْنَةُ عَمْرٍو أَوْ أُخْتُ عَمْرٍو فَقَالَ لِمَ تَبْکِي أَوْ لَا تَبْکِي مَا زَالَتْ الْمَلَائِکَةُ تُظِلُّهُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا قُلْتُ لِصَدَقَةَ أَفِيهِ حَتَّی رُفِعَ قَالَ رُبَّمَا قَالَهُ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2816
Narrated Jabir: My father's mutilated body was brought to the Prophet and was placed in front of him. I went to uncover his face but my companions forbade me. Then mourning cries of a lady were heard, and it was said that she was either the daughter or the sister of `Amr. The Prophet said, "Why is she crying?" Or said, "Do not cry, for the angels are still shading him with their wings." (Al-Bukhari asked Sadqa, a sub-narrator, "Does the narration include the expression: 'Till he was lifted?' " The latter replied, "Jabir may have said it.")
