Prioritizing Knowledge of the Qur'an

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) instructed the people to dig graves and bury two or three in a grave, with priority given to those who knew the Qur'an best.

It was narrated that Hisham bin 'Amir said: "On the day of Uhud the people were exhausted. The Prophet said: 'Dig graves and make them wide, and bury two or three in a grave'. They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, who should we 'put in first? He said: 'Put in first the one who knew the Qur'an most"'.
