أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ح و أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْأَعْمَشَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ شَقِيقًا قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَبَّابٌ قَالَ هَاجَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَبْتَغِي وَجْهَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَی فَوَجَبَ أَجْرُنَا عَلَی اللَّهِ فَمِنَّا مَنْ مَاتَ لَمْ يَأْکُلْ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْئًا مِنْهُمْ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَلَمْ نَجِدْ شَيْئًا نُکَفِّنُهُ فِيهِ إِلَّا نَمِرَةً کُنَّا إِذَا غَطَّيْنَا رَأْسَهُ خَرَجَتْ رِجْلَاهُ وَإِذَا غَطَّيْنَا بِهَا رِجْلَيْهِ خَرَجَتْ رَأْسُهُ فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نُغَطِّيَ بِهَا رَأْسَهُ وَنَجْعَلَ عَلَی رِجْلَيْهِ إِذْخِرًا وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَيْنَعَتْ لَهُ ثَمَرَتُهُ فَهُوَ يَهْدِبُهَا وَاللَّفْظُ لِإِسْمَعِيلَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1908
Khabbab said: “We emigrated with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم seeking the Face of Allah, the Most High, so our reward became due from Allah. Some of us died without enjoying anything of his reward (in this world) among them is Mus’ab bin Umair. He was matyred on the day of Uhud and we could not find anything to shroud him in except a Namirah; if we covered his head with it, his feet were uncovered, and if we covered his feet with it, his head became uncovered. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم told us to cover his head with it and to put Idhkar over his feet. And for some of us, the fruits of our labor have ripened and we are gathering them.” This is the wording of Isma’il (Sahih)
