أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْمُنْکَدِرِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ جِيئَ بِأَبِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَقَدْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ فَوُضِعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ سُجِّيَ بِثَوْبٍ فَجَعَلْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَکْشِفَ عَنْهُ فَنَهَانِي قَوْمِي فَأَمَرَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرُفِعَ فَلَمَّا رُفِعَ سَمِعَ صَوْتَ بَاکِيَةٍ فَقَالَ مَنْ هَذِهِ فَقَالُوا هَذِهِ بِنْتُ عَمْرٍو أَوْ أُخْتُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ فَلَا تَبْکِي أَوْ فَلِمَ تَبْکِي مَا زَالَتْ الْمَلَائِکَةُ تُظِلُّهُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا حَتَّی رُفِعَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1847
Jabir said: “My father was brought on the day of Uhud and he had been mutilated. He was placed in front of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم covered with a cloth. I wanted to uncover him but my people forbade me to do so. The Prophet ordered that he be lifted up, and when he was lifted up, he heard the voice of a woman weeping. He said: ‘Who is this?’ They said: ‘This is the daughter of ‘Amr, or the sister of ‘Amr.’ He said: ‘Do not weep,’ or ‘She should not weep, for the angels kept on shading him with their wings until he was lifted up.” (Sahih)
