Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ زَمِّلُوهُمْ بِدِمَائِهِمْ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ كَلْمٌ يُكْلَمُ فِي اللَّهِ إِلاَّ أَتَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ جُرْحُهُ يَدْمَى لَوْنُهُ لَوْنُ دَمٍ وَرِيحُهُ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Hannad ibn al-Sari informed us, from Ibn al-Mubarak, from Mamar, from al-Zuhri, from Abd Allah ibn Thalabah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Shroud them in their blood, for no wound received for the sake of Allah will come on the Day of Resurrection without bleeding. Its color will be the color of blood, and its scent the scent of musk.

Translation notes

  • The opening command says to shroud them in their blood; the report then gives the reason concerning wounds received for Allah’s sake.
