مُسْنَدُ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 25
Jābir (رضي الله عنه) reported:
“My father was brought on the day of Uḥud, covered with a cloth, and was laid before the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ). I kept wanting to uncover his face [which had been mutilated by the Qurayshī pagans], but my kinsmen prevented me. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) heard a wailing woman (on another occasion he said: the sound of a screaming woman). He asked: ‘Who is this?’ They said: ‘The daughter (or sister) of ʿAmr.’ He said: ‘Why is she weeping?’ or he said: ‘Is she weeping? The angels have not ceased to shade him with their wings until he was lifted [from this world].’”

Musnad Aḥmad 25
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا: جِيءَ بِأَبِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، فَوُضِعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَهُوَ مُسَجًّى، فَجَعَلْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَكْشِفَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ، وَيَنْهَانِي قَوْمِي، فَسَمِعَ بَاكِيَةً — وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: صَوْتَ صَائِحَةٍ — قَالَ: فَقَالَ: «مَنْ هَذَا؟» فَقَالُوا: ابْنَةُ عَمْرٍو — أَوْ أُخْتُ عَمْرٍو — قَالَ: «فَلِمَ تَبْكِينَ؟» أَوْ قَالَ: «أَتَبْكِينَ؟ فَمَا زَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تُظِلُّهُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا حَتَّى رُفِعَتْ.»

Isnād and Rijāl: Imām Aḥmad ← Sufyān ibn ʿUyayna ← Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir ← Jābir ibn ʿAbdillāh (same chain as Ḥadīth 23). Sufyān ibn ʿUyayna: thiqah ḥāfiẓ faqīh imām. Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir: thiqah fāḍil. Jābir ibn ʿAbdillāh: Companion. Takhrīj: al-Bukhārī, nos. 1244, 4080; Muslim, no. 2471. Jābir’s father is ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAmr ibn Ḥarām (رضي الله عنه), a noble companion and leader of the Anṣār who was martyred at Uḥud. The angels shading him with their wings is a miraculous sign of his high station in the sight of Allāh. The Prophet (ﷺ) implied by asking the woman why she wept that the martyr’s state was one of honor deserving not of grief but of rejoicing. In another ḥadīth, the Prophet (ﷺ) said to Jābir: “Should I not tell you glad tidings? Allāh spoke to your father directly, face to face, without a veil, and said: ‘O My servant, ask Me and I will give you.’ He said: ‘O Lord, return me to life so I may be killed in Your cause once more.’ Allāh said: ‘I have already decreed that they shall not return [to worldly life].’“ (al-Tirmidhī, no. 3010; Ibn Mājah, no. 190; graded ḥasan)
