حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ: جَاءَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَصَابَنَا قَرْحٌ وَجَهْدٌ فَكَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنَا؟ قَالَ: " احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَاجْعَلُوا الرَّجُلَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ " قَالُوا: فَأَيُّهُمْ نُقَدِّمُ؟ قَالَ: " أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا " قَالَ: فَقُدِّمَ أَبِي عَامِرٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَجُلٍ أَوْ اثْنَيْنِ (٢)، ،

English translation
It is narrated from Hisham bin ‘Amir that on the day of the Battle of Uhud, the Ansar came to the Prophet’s court and said: O Messenger of Allah! The people have suffered great wounds and difficulties. What do you command us now? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Dig the graves wide and bury two or three men in one grave. The people asked: O Messenger of Allah! Whom should we place first? He said: The one who knows more of the Qur’an. Thus, my father ‘Amir was placed before one or two men.
