حَدَّثَنَا خَبَّابٌ، قَالَ هَاجَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَبْتَغِي وَجْهَ اللَّهِ، وَوَجَبَ أَجْرُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ، فَمِنَّا مَنْ مَضَى لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْئًا، مِنْهُمْ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَلَمْ نَجِدْ شَيْئًا نُكَفِّنُهُ فِيهِ، إِلاَّ نَمِرَةً كُنَّا إِذَا غَطَّيْنَا بِهَا رَأْسَهُ خَرَجَتْ رِجْلاَهُ، فَإِذَا غَطَّيْنَا رِجْلَيْهِ خَرَجَ رَأْسُهُ، فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ نُغْطِيَ رَأْسَهُ بِهَا، وَنَجْعَلَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ مِنْ إِذْخِرٍ، وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَيْنَعَتْ لَهُ ثَمَرَتُهُ فَهْوَ يَهْدِبُهَا.
Hazrat Khabbabra narrated:
“We migrated along with Allah’s Messengersa, seeking Allah’s pleasure and our reward thereby became assured with Allah. Some of us passed away without having partaken of any of their reward in this world. Among them was Mus‘ab bin ‘Umairra, who was martyred on the day of Uhud. We found nothing in which to shroud him except a striped cloak: if we covered his head with it, his feet were exposed and if we covered his feet, his head was exposed. So Allah’s Messengersa instructed us to cover his head with it and to place some idhkhir [a type of grass] over his feet.“And there are some among us whose fruits have ripened for them and they are now picking them [i.e. they have already begun to receive their reward in this world].”
