حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ بْن أَحْمَد وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْهُ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أُصِيبَ يَوْمِ الْخَنْدَقِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَطَلَبُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُجِنُّوهُ فَقَالَ لَا وَلَا كَرَامَةَ لَكُمْ قَالُوا فَإِنَّا نَجْعَلُ لَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ جُعْلًا قَالَ وَذَلِكَ أَخْبَثُ وَأَخْبَثُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2319
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: On the day of al- Khandaq, a mushrik man was killed and they asked the Prophet (PBUH) to let them bury him, and he said: "No, not at all [I cannot please you by doing that]." They said: We will give you something in return for that. He said: "That is even worse."
