Burial Instructions on the Day of Uhud

SUMMARY: The Ansar asked the Prophet (PBUH) what to do when they were wounded and tired on the day of Uhud. He instructed them to dig graves and bury two or three people in each grave, with the one who knew the Quran most being put first.

Narrated Hisham ibn Amir: The Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah on the day of Uhud and said: We have been afflicted with wound and fatigue. What do you command us? He said: Dig graves, make them wide, bury two or three in a single grave. He was asked: Which of them should be put first? He replied: The one who knew the Qur'an most. He (Hisham) said: My father Amir died on the day and was buried with two or one.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ هِلاَلٍ - عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ جَاءَتِ الأَنْصَارُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَقَالُوا أَصَابَنَا قَرْحٌ وَجَهْدٌ فَكَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنَا قَالَ ‏"‏ احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَاجْعَلُوا الرَّجُلَيْنِ وَالثَّلاَثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قِيلَ فَأَيُّهُمْ يُقَدَّمُ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَكْثَرُهُمْ قُرْآنًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أُصِيبَ أَبِي يَوْمَئِذٍ عَامِرٌ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ أَوْ قَالَ وَاحِدٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
On the day of Uhud, a battle between Muslims and non-Muslims took place. The Ansar asked Prophet Muhammad ﷺ what they should do when they were wounded and tired from fighting. He instructed them to dig graves for those who had died in battle and bury two or three people in each grave with those who knew more of the Quran being put first. This hadith teaches us that knowledge is important even after death as it is something that will be remembered forever by Allah SWT. It also teaches us about respecting those who have passed away by burying them properly according to Islamic teachings. Furthermore, it shows us how much respect Prophet Muhammad ﷺ had for knowledge as he prioritized those with more knowledge over others even after death.
