Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When my father was martyred at the Battle of Uhud, I began to weep and started to remove the cloth from his face. The companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to stop me from doing so. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not weep over him until you have buried him. The angels will continue to shade him with their wings.
