English translation

2020. It was narrated that Hishām bin 'Āmir said: "My father was killed on the day of Uhud, and the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Dig graves and make them good and wide, and bury two or three in a grave, and put in first the one who knew the Qur'ān most.' My father was the third of three, and the one who knew the Qur'ān most was placed (in the grave) first." (Sahīh)

Arabic text

2018 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ: قُتِلَ أَبِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَأَحْسِنُوا، وَادْفِنُوا الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ، وَقَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا»، فَكَانَ أَبِي ثَالِثَ ثَلَاثَةٍ، وَكَانَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا فَقُدِّمَ

Commentary

Knowledge is the special attribute of a man. Hence, it is the basis of merit or excellence among men. And the Glorious Qur'ân, in actuality, is the real Fount of Knowledge. That is why Allâh's Messenger ﷺ made it the standard of meritorious excellence.
