BURIAL OF MARTYRS

353

“After the Battle of Uhud, the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, arranged for the martyrs to be buried in pairs. At each interment he would inquire which of the two knew the most of the Koran by heart, whereupon the one who was named was placed in the grave first.”

Bukhari with a chain up to Jabir who related this.
