Arabic text

3135 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، وَهَذَا، لَفْظُهُ أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ اللَّيْثِيُّ، أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ، «أَنَّ شُهَدَاءَ، أُحُدٍ لَمْ يُغَسَّلُوا، وَدُفِنُوا بِدِمَائِهِمْ وَلَمْ يُصَلَّ عَلَيْهِمْ»

  1. 1

    [1] Al-Julūd plural of Jild, meaning an animal skin that is tanned or a fur or pelt, etc. It is possible that it means leather protective gear for battle, for which reason it was translated as "armour" in our translation of Ibn Majah (no. 1515).

Commentary

As proven from some of the previous Ahādīth, the correct position with regard to the person martyred in Jihād is that he be buried unwashed, with the very blood and clothes in which he was martyred. Some of the Ahādīth also affirm the holding of the funeral prayer for him.
