English translation
3897. Narrated Abū Wā'il: We visited Khabbāb who said, "We emigrated with the Prophet ﷺ for Allāh's sake, so our reward became due and sure with Allāh. Some of us passed away without taking anything of their rewards (in this world) and one of them was Muṣ'ab bin 'Umair, who was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Uḥud leaving a striped woollen cloak. When we covered his head with it, his feet became bare, and when covered his feet, his head became bare. So, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ordered us to cover his head and put some Idhkhīr (i.e., a special kind of grass) on his feet. (On the other hand) some of us have had their fruits ripened (in this world) and they are collecting them."
