(Book 21, Hadith 32) #36059
Testifying for Martyrs

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) testified for the martyrs of Uhud and Abu Bakr as-Siddiq asked if they were not their brothers, to which the Prophet replied that he did not know what they would do after him.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'n-Nadr, the mawla of Umar ibn Ubaydullah that he had heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said over the martyrs of Uhud, "I testify for them". Abu Bakr as-Siddiq said, "Messenger of Allah! Are we not their brothers? We entered Islam as they entered Islam and we did jihad as they did jihad". The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Yes, but I do not know what you will do after me". Abu Bakr wept profusely and said, "Are we really going to out-live you!"
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لِشُهَدَاءِ أُحُدٍ ‏"‏ هَؤُلاَءِ أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ أَلَسْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِإِخْوَانِهِمْ أَسْلَمْنَا كَمَا أَسْلَمُوا وَجَاهَدْنَا كَمَا جَاهَدُوا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ بَلَى وَلَكِنْ لاَ أَدْرِي مَا تُحْدِثُونَ بَعْدِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَبَكَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ بَكَى ثُمَّ قَالَ أَئِنَّا لَكَائِنُونَ بَعْدَكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of martyrdom in Islam and how it is a great honor. The Prophet Muhammad was testifying for the martyrs of Uhud and Abu Bakr as-Siddiq asked if they were not their brothers since they had both entered Islam and done jihad together. The Prophet replied that he did not know what they would do after him. This shows us that even though we may be close with someone or have done something together does not guarantee our success in this life or hereafter. We must strive to do good deeds throughout our lives in order to be successful in this life and hereafter.
