Sahih al-Bukhari 6448 (Book 81, Hadith 37) #6197
Rewards of Migration for Allah's Sake

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the rewards of those who migrate for Allah's sake and how some of them have already received their rewards in this world while others will receive it in the hereafter.

Narrated Abu Wail: We paid a visit to Khabbab who was sick, and he said, "We migrated with the Prophet for Allah's Sake and our wages became due on Allah. Some of us died without having received anything of the wages, and one of them was Mus'ab bin 'Umar, who was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud, leaving only one sheet (to shroud him in). If we covered his head with it, his feet became uncovered, and if we covered his feet with it, his head became uncovered. So the Prophet ordered us to cover his head with it and put some Idhkhir (a kind of grass) over his feet. On the other hand, some of us have had the fruits (of our good deed) and are plucking them (in this world).
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ، قَالَ عُدْنَا خَبَّابًا فَقَالَ هَاجَرْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ نُرِيدُ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ، فَوَقَعَ أَجْرُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ، فَمِنَّا مَنْ مَضَى لَمْ يَأْخُذْ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ، مِنْهُمْ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، وَتَرَكَ نَمِرَةً فَإِذَا غَطَّيْنَا رَأْسَهُ بَدَتْ رِجْلاَهُ، وَإِذَا غَطَّيْنَا رِجْلَيْهِ بَدَا رَأْسُهُ، فَأَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ أَنْ نُغَطِّيَ رَأْسَهُ، وَنَجْعَلَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ مِنَ الإِذْخِرِ، وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَيْنَعَتْ لَهُ ثَمَرَتُهُ فَهْوَ يَهْدُبُهَا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the rewards that come from migrating for Allah’s sake. It tells us that some people have already received their reward in this life while others will receive it in the hereafter. The example given is Mus'ab bin 'Umar who was martyred on the day of Uhud and only had one sheet to be shrouded with. Despite his lack, he was still given a proper burial by covering his head with it and putting Idhkhir over his feet as ordered by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. This shows us that even if we don’t get what we want or expect from this life, we should still be grateful because our reward lies in Paradise where all our wishes will be fulfilled without any limits or restrictions.
