حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ قُتِلَ أَبِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَأَحْسِنُوا وَادْفِنُوا الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ وَقَدِّمُوا أَکْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا فَکَانَ أَبِي ثَالِثَ ثَلَاثَةٍ وَکَانَ أَکْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا فَقُدِّمَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2024
It was narrated that Hisham bin ‘Amir said: “My father was killed on the day of Uhud, and the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘Dig graves and make them good and wide, and bury two or three in a grave, and put in first the one who knew the Qur’an most.’ My father was the third of three, and the one who knew the Qur’an most was placed (in the grave) first.” (Sahih)
