حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ لَتَخُطُّونَ إِلَى أَقْوَامٍ مَا هُمْ بِأَعْلَمَ بِحَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَّا، قُتِلَ أَبِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَادْفِنُوا الِاثْنَيْنِ، وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ، وَقَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ (١) قُرْآنًا "، (٢) وَكَانَ أَبِي أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا فَقُدِّمَ، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Hisham bin ‘Amir that you people go to those individuals who do not know the ahadith of the Prophet (ﷺ) better than me. On the day of the Battle of Uhud, my father was martyred. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Dig the graves wide and bury two or three people in one grave. Place the one who knows more of the Qur’an first. And since my father knew more of the Qur’an, he was placed first.
