Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that on the day of the Battle of Uhud, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Sayyiduna Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him). His lips, nose, ears, etc. had been cut off and he had been mutilated. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If it were not for Safiyyah's distress, I would have left him as he was, until Allah (on the Day of Resurrection) would resurrect him from the bellies of birds and beasts." Then Sayyiduna Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him) was given a sheet as a shroud; when his head was covered, his feet became exposed, and when his feet were covered, his head became exposed. So his head was covered. No funeral prayer was offered for any martyr other than him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am a witness over you people today." These words of the narration were transmitted only by the narrator named Uthman: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not offer the funeral prayer for any martyr other than him." These words are not preserved.
