1843. Jâbir said: "My father was brought on the day of Uhud and he had been mutilated. He was placed in front of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, covered with a cloth. I wanted to uncover him but my people forbade me to do so. The Prophet ﷺ ordered that he be lifted up, and when he was lifted up, he heard the voice of a woman weeping. He said: 'Who is this?' They said: 'This is the daughter of 'Amr, or the sister of 'Amr.' He said: 'Do not weep,' or 'She should not weep, for the angels kept on shading him with their wings until he was lifted up.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
The deceased should be covered with a piece of cloth after death, so that if any change in his face, etc., has taken place due to the severity of death, it could be concealed from people's view.
