أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ کَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ مِنْ قَتْلَی أُحُدٍ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَيُّهُمَا أَکْثَرُ أَخْذًا لِلْقُرْآنِ فَإِذَا أُشِيرَ إِلَی أَحَدِهِمَا قَدَّمَهُ فِي اللَّحْدِ قَالَ أَنَا شَهِيدٌ عَلَی هَؤُلَائِ وَأَمَرَ بِدَفْنِهِمْ فِي دِمَائِهِمْ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ يُغَسَّلُوا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1961
It was narrated from ‘Abdur Rahman bin Ka’b bin Malik that Jabir bin ‘Abdullah told him that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم put two men from those who had been slain UI Uhud in one shroud, then he would ask which of them had learned more Qur’an and when one of them was pointed out, he would put him in the Lahd (grave) first. He said: “I am a witness to these.” And he ordered that they be buried with their blood, and that the funeral prayer should not be offered, and they should not be Washed (Sahih)
