3215. It was narrated from Humaid, meaning Ibn Hilāl, from Hishām bin 'Āmir that he said: "The Anṣār came to the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) on the Day of Uḥud, and said: 'We are wounded and exhausted; what do you command us to do?' He said: 'Dig and make it wide, and put two or three men in one grave.' It was said: 'Which of them should we put first?' He said: 'The one who knew more Qur'ān.'" He said: "My father, 'Āmir, was killed that day, and he was buried between two others," or he said: "with another." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

3215 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، فَقَالُوا: أَصَابَنَا قَرْحٌ وَجَهْدٌ، فَكَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنَا، قَالَ: «احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا، وَاجْعَلُوا الرَّجُلَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ» قِيلَ: فَأَيُّهُمْ يُقَدَّمُ؟ قَالَ: «أَكْثَرُهُمْ قُرْآنًا» قَالَ: أُصِيبَ أَبِي يَوْمَئِذٍ عَامِرٌ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ أَوْ قَالَ وَاحِدٌ،
