English translation
1036. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Ka'b bin Mālik narrated that Jābir bin 'Abdullāh informed him that the Prophet ﷺ had put two men together in one cloth from those who were killed at (the battle of) Uḥud, then he said: "Which of them memorized the more of the Qur'ān?" When one of them was indicated to him, he put him in the Lahd (first) and said: "I am a witness for these people on the Day of Judgement." And he ordered that they be buried in their blood, and that they not be prayed over, nor washed. (Ṣaḥīḥ) There is something on this topic from Anas bin Mālik. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Jābir is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. This Hadīth has been reported from Az-Zuhri, from 'Abdullāh bin Tha'labah bin Abī Ṣughair, from the Prophet ﷺ. Some of (the narrators) mentioned that it was from Jābir. The people of knowledge differed over Salāt for the martyr. Some of them said the martyr is not prayed over, and this is the saying of the people of Al-Madinah, and it is also the saying of Ash-Shāfi'i and Ahmad. Some of them said that the martyr is prayed over, and for proof, they used the Hadīth of the Prophet ﷺ that he prayed over Hamzah. This is the view of Ath-Thawri and the people of Al-Kūfah, and it is the view of Ishāq.
