It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of Uhud, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Hazrat Hamza. At that time, he had been mutilated. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood by him and said: "If I did not fear that Safiyyah would keep this matter in her heart, I would have left Hamza (as he was), so that the beasts, birds, and cattle would eat him, and then on the Day of Resurrection, he would be resurrected from their stomachs, gathered together." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for a white and black striped blanket. When the blanket was placed over Hamza's blessed head, his feet would be uncovered, and when it was pulled towards his feet, his head would be uncovered. Upon this, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pull this blanket towards his head and put esphand (herb) on his feet." The cloths were few and the slain were many. So one, two, or three men were shrouded in a single cloth. And the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would ask: "Who among them knows more Qur'an (is a Hafiz)?" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would give him precedence.

Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would gather two men from among the martyrs of Uhud in one cloth. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would ask, "Which of them knew more of the Qur'an?" When one of them was pointed out to him, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would lower him into the grave first and would say, "I will be a witness over these people on the Day of Resurrection." He (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the martyrs be buried with their blood, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not offer the funeral prayer over them, nor were they given a ritual bath.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned on the day of Uhud, the women of Banu Abd al-Ashhal were weeping over their slain. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: But there is no one to weep for Hamza. So the women of the Ansar came to weep for Hazrat Hamza. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asleep, then awoke and said: O people of destruction! Are these women still here? Instruct them to return, and after today, do not weep over anyone who is killed.

It is narrated from Hazrat Khabbab that we migrated with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and we were seeking the pleasure of Allah the Almighty. Thus, our reward became incumbent upon Allah. Then, among us were some who did not partake of any of their reward. Among them was Mus'ab bin Umair, who was martyred in the Battle of Uhud, and for his shroud, nothing was available except a single sheet. When the companions would cover his head with it, his feet would become uncovered, and when they pulled it towards his feet, his blessed head would become uncovered. Upon this, the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Cover his head with the sheet and place izkhir (a type of grass) on his feet." And among us are some for whom the fruits (of their reward) have ripened, so they are enjoying them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abi Usaid: We were with the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the grave of Hazrat Hamza. When the sheet was pulled towards Hazrat Hamza's head, his feet became uncovered. Then when the sheet was pulled towards his feet, his blessed head became uncovered. Upon this, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Pull this sheet towards his head and place leaves of harmal on his feet.

Some elders of the Ansar narrate that on the day of Uhud, Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) bin Haram and Amr bin Jamuh were brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a slain state. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bury both of them in one grave, for they had a sincere relationship with each other in this world."

Some people of Banu Salamah narrate that when Hazrat Amir Muawiyah had a spring made to flow near the graves of the martyrs, the spring passed over the graves of two martyrs, causing their graves to open. So the people cried out about them, and we took both of them out. They were wrapped together as if they had died just yesterday. There were two sheets on them, with which their faces were covered, and at their feet was placed the herb of Izkhir.

It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir that my father Abdullah said to me: O my son! If it were not for these little sisters and daughters whom I am leaving behind, I would have liked to put you ahead of myself. But (now) you remain in Medina as my representative. The narrator says: Soon after, my paternal aunt brought both of them... their father and uncle... in a slain state. She had placed both of them on a camel.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that on the day of Uhud, a man from among the polytheists was killed, so the polytheists intended to give his blood money. When the heirs refused, they decided to give an amount equal to the blood money, but still, it was refused.

It is narrated from Farsi, a freed slave of Banu Muawiyah, that on the day of Uhud he struck and killed a man, and said, "Catch him. I am just a Persian slave." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who stopped you from saying you are an Ansari? Even though you are one of them. The freed slave of a people is counted among that people."
