1904. Khabbâb said: "We emigrated with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, seeking the Face of Allâh, the Most High, so our reward became due from Allâh. Some of us died without enjoying anything of his reward (in this world) among them is Mus'ab bin Umair. He was martyred on the day of Uhud and we could not find anything to shroud him in except a Namirah;[1] if we covered his head with it, his feet were uncovered, and if we covered his feet with it, his head became uncovered. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ told us to cover his head with it and to put Idhkhir[2] over his feet. And for some of us, the fruits of our labor have ripened and we are gathering them." This is the wording of Ismâ'il (Sahîh)[3]

These words do not signify that they would receive reward in the Hereafter. On the contrary, the objective is to stress that they gained some fruit of their emigration in this world also. They shall get the reward in the life to come, in any case. But the station and rank of Companions like Mus'ab would be immensely high.
