2816. Narrated Jābir رضي الله عنه: My father's mutilated body was brought to the Prophet ﷺ and was placed in front of him. I went to uncover his face but my companions forbade me. Then mourning cries of a lady were heard, and it was said that she was either the daughter or the sister of 'Amr. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Why is she crying?" Or said, "Do not cry, for the angels are still shading him with their wings." (Al-Bukhārī asked Šadaqa, a subnarrator, "Does the narration include the expression: 'Till he was lifted?'" The latter replied, "Jābir may have said it.")

Arabic text

2816 - حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ الفَضْلِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ المُنْكَدِرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا، يَقُولُ: جِيءَ بِأَبِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَدْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ، وَوُضِعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَذَهَبْتُ أَكْشِفُ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ، فَنَهَانِي قَوْمِي فَسَمِعَ صَوْتَ صَائِحَةٍ، فَقِيلَ: ابْنَةُ عَمْرٍو - أَوْ أُخْتُ عَمْرٍو - فَقَالَ: «لِمَ تَبْكِي - أَوْ لاَ تَبْكِي - مَا زَالَتِ المَلاَئِكَةُ تُظِلُّهُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا» قُلْتُ لِصَدَقَةَ: أَفِيهِ «حَتَّى رُفِعَ» قَالَ: رُبَّمَا قَالَهُ
