EARLY MARTYRS H 477 "The Companions migrated with the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, seeking the pleasure of Allah and looking only to Him for their reward. Some of them died without enjoying any (worldly) recompense. Among such was Mus'ab, the son of Umair who was martyred in the battle of Uhud; he left only a small sheet. When they covered his head with it his feet were exposed, and when they covered his feet his head was left uncovered. So the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, told us to cover his head and to put some fragrant grass over his feet. Whereas others among them enjoyed the bounties of life." R 477 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Khubaib, the son of Arat who related this hadith.
475- وعن خَبابِ بن الأَرَتِّ رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : هَاجَرْنَا مَعَ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم نَلْتَمِسُ وَجْهَ اللهِ تَعَالَى ، فَوَقَعَ أجْرُنَا عَلَى اللهِ ، فَمِنَّا مَنْ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَأكُل منْ أجْرِهِ شَيْئاً ، مِنْهُمْ : مُصْعَبُ بن عُمَيْرٍ رضي الله عنه ، قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُد ، وَتَرَكَ نَمِرَةً ، فَكُنَّا إِذَا غَطَّيْنَا بِهَا رَأْسَهُ ، بَدَتْ رِجْلاَهُ ، وَإِذَا غَطَّيْنَا بِهَا رِجْلَيْهِ ، بَدَا رَأسُهُ ، فَأمَرَنَا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، أنْ نُغَطِّي رَأسَهُ ، وَنَجْعَل عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ شَيْئاً مِنَ الإذْخِرِ ، وَمِنَّا مَنْ أيْنَعَتْ لَهُ ثَمَرَتُهُ ، فَهُوَ يَهْدِبُهَا . متفقٌ عَلَيْهِ . " النَّمِرَةُ" : كِساءٌ مُلَوَّنٌ مِنْ صوف . وَقَوْلُه : "أيْنَعَتْ" أيْ : نَضِجَتْ وَأَدْرَكَتْ . وَقَوْلُه : "يَهْدِبها" هُوَ بفتح الياءِ وضم الدال وكسرها لغتان : أيْ : يَقْطُفهَا وَيَجْتَنِيهَا ، وهذه استعارة لما فتح الله تَعَالَى عليهم من الدنيا وتمكنوا فِيهَا .
