1717. Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh said: “On the Day of Uḥud, my father’s sister came with my father to bury him in a cemetery of ours. So one of the callers of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ called out: ‘Return those killed to where they were lying.’” (Sahīh) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Sahīh. [And (one of the narrators) Nubaiḥ is trustworthy].
١٧١٧ - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ نُبَيْحًا الْعَنَزِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ: «لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ» جَاءَتْ عَمَّتِي بِأَبِي لِتَدْفِنَهُ فِي مَقَابِرِنَا فَنَادَى مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رُدُّوا الْقَتْلَى إِلَى مَضَاجِعِهِمْ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَنُبَيْحٌ ثِقَةٌ.

The Hadīth contains the rule of Sharī‘ah that the martyrs are to be buried in the very place they are killed. However, in case of some impediment or necessity, or the fear of desecration, the body may be buried in some other place, otherwise not. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi, v.3, p.39)
