English translation
3914. Narrated Khabbāb: We emigrated with Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ seeking Allāh’s Countenance, so our rewards became due and sure with Allāh. Some of us passed away without eating anything of their rewards in this world. One of these was Muṣ’ab bin ‘Umar who was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Uhud. We did not find anything to shroud his body with except a striped cloak. When we covered his head with it, his feet remained uncovered, and when we covered his feet with it, his head remained uncovered. So, Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ ordered us to cover his head with it and put some Idhkhīr (i.e., a kind of grass) over his feet. And there are some amongst us whose fruits have ripened and they are collecting them (i.e., they have received their rewards in this world).
