It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hisham bin ‘Amir that on the day of the Battle of Uhud, the Ansar came to the Prophet’s court and said: O Messenger of Allah! The people have suffered great wounds and difficulties. What do you command us now? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Dig the graves wide and bury two or three men in one grave. The people asked: O Messenger of Allah! Whom should we place first? He said: The one who knows more of the Qur’an. Thus, my father ‘Amir was placed before one or two men.
