Sunan Abi Dawud 3165 (Book 21, Hadith 77) #23455
Burying Martyrs at Uhud

SUMMARY: The Prophet commanded to bury the martyrs at the place where they fell on the day of Uhud.

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: On the day of Uhud we brought the martyrs to bury them (at another place), but the crier of the Prophet came and said: The Messenger of Allah has commanded you to bury the martyrs at the place where they fell. So we took them back.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ نُبَيْحٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا حَمَلْنَا الْقَتْلَى يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ لِنَدْفِنَهُمْ فَجَاءَ مُنَادِي النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَدْفِنُوا الْقَتْلَى فِي مَضَاجِعِهِمْ فَرَدَدْنَاهُمْ
