أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُمَيْدَ بْنَ هِلَالٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ لَمَّا کَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ أُصِيبَ مَنْ أُصِيبَ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَأَصَابَ النَّاسَ جِرَاحَاتٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَادْفِنُوا الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ وَقَدِّمُوا أَکْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2017
It was narrated from Saeed bin Hisham bin ‘Amir that his father said: “On the day of Uhud some of the people among the Muslims were killed, and people were wounded. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘Dig graves and make them wide, and bury two or three in a grave, and put the one who knew more Qur’an in first.” (Sahih)
