أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ : شَكَوْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَقُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْحَفْرُ عَلَيْنَا لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ شَدِيدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم : " احْفِرُوا وَأَعْمِقُوا وَأَحْسِنُوا، وَادْفِنُوا الاِثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلاَثَةَ فِي قَبْرٍ وَاحِدٍ " . قَالُوا : فَمَنْ نُقَدِّمُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ : " قَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا " . قَالَ : فَكَانَ أَبِي ثَالِثَ ثَلاَثَةٍ فِي قَبْرٍ وَاحِدٍ .
Muhammad ibn Bashshar informed us, saying: Ishaq ibn Yusuf narrated to us, saying: Sufyan narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Humayd ibn Hilal, from Hisham ibn ‘Amir, who said: On the day of Uhud, we complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), saying, ‘O Messenger of Allah, digging a separate grave for each person is too difficult for us.’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Dig deeply and do the work well, and bury two or three in one grave.’ They asked, ‘Whom should we place first, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said, ‘Place first the one who knew the most Qur’an.’ He said: My father was the third of three in one grave.
