Sunan Abi Dawud 3138 (Book 21, Hadith 50) #23428
Combining Martyrs in One Garment

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad combined two martyrs of Uhud in one garment and asked which of them had learnt the Quran more. He then advanced the one who had learnt it more and said he would be a witness to all these martyrs on the Day of Judgement.

Narrated Jabir b. 'Abd Allah : The Messenger of Allah combined two persons from among the martyrs of Uhud (in one garment), and said: Which of the two has learnt the Qur'an more ? When one of them was pointed to him, he advanced him in the grave, saying: I shall be witness to all these (martyrs) on the Day of Judgement. He then ordered them to be buried without being washed.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ، أَنَّ اللَّيْثَ، حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ مِنْ قَتْلَى أُحُدٍ وَيَقُولُ ‏"‏ أَيُّهُمَا أَكْثَرُ أَخْذًا لِلْقُرْآنِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَإِذَا أُشِيرَ لَهُ إِلَى أَحَدِهِمَا قَدَّمَهُ فِي اللَّحْدِ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَنَا شَهِيدٌ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَأَمَرَ بِدَفْنِهِمْ بِدِمَائِهِمْ وَلَمْ يُغَسَّلُوا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how Prophet Muhammad combined two persons from among the martyrs of Uhud in one garment and asked which of them had learnt the Quran more. He then advanced that person in his grave as he would be a witness to all these martyrs on the Day of Judgement. The Prophet also ordered them to be buried without being washed first. This teaches us that those who have sacrificed their lives for Islam will be rewarded by Allah on Judgment day and will serve as witnesses for other Muslims too. It also shows us how important it is to learn Quran as it can help us gain rewards even after death!
