be buried with ‘Abdullah bin Jahsh — who was his nephew as well as his foster brother.
Ibn Mas‘ud said: We have never seen the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) weeping so much  as  he was for Hamzah bin ‘Abdul Muttalib. He directed him towards Al-Qiblah, then he stood at his  funeral  and sobbed his heart out.
The sight of the martyrs was extremely horrible and heart-breaking. Describing Hamzah’s funeral,
Khabbab said: “No shroud long enough was available for Hamzah except a white-darkish garment.
When they covered his head with it, it was too short to cover his feet. Similarly if they covered his feet  his head would be revealed. Finally they covered his head with it and put some plant called ‘Al-Idhkhir’  to cover his feet.”
Al-Imam Ahmad reported that when it was Uhud Day and the time that the idolaters returned, the
Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) said:
“Istawoo (i.e. form rows as for prayer) so that I offer thanks and praise to my Lord, the Great  and the All-Mighty.”
So they stood in rows behind him. Then he said:
“O Allâh, no one can withhold what You permit or permit what You withhold. No one can guide  whom You decree to go astray or make go astray the one whom You guide. No one can grant  provisions you have withheld and no one can withhold what you grant. No one can near what You  ordained to be distant, or detach what You decree to be close. O Allâh, spread onto all of us Your
Mercy, Your Grace, and Provisions.”
“O Allâh, I implore You to grant me permanent bliss that neither changes nor vanishes. O Allâh,
You Alone we seek for Help at hardships. You Alone we resort to for security on a day of terror. O
Allâh, to You Alone I resort to protect us frthe evils of Your grants (i.e. the evils they may lead us  to) and from the evils of Your deprivation. O Allâh, make us love Faith and make it pleasant and  beloved wholeheartedly by us! Make disbelief, ungodliness and disobedience detestable to us. Let  us be among those who are rightly guided. O Allâh, make us live as Muslims and cause us to die  as Muslims; and make us join with the righteous but not with the disgraced and misled ones. O
Allâh, make Your enmity befall the disbelievers, who belie Your Messenger and divert from Your  righteous way. O Allâh, let Your wrath, Your chastisement and Your enmity befall the  disbelievers, and those on whom You sent down the Book. Let them be afflicted with war decreed  by You. O Allâh, the Author of Truth.”
After committing all the martyrs to earth, and after offering praise and supplication to Allâh, the
Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) went back to Madinah.
On his way back, matchless examples of love and devotion were revealed by the truthful women  believers; in no way less great than the men’s heroic deeds in the fight.
Hamnah bint Jahsh met the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) on the way back, and he  announced the death of her brother — ‘Abdullah bin Jahsh — to her. She said: “To Allâh we belong  and  to Him we will verily return. I ask Allâh’s forgiveness.” Then he announced the death of her maternal  uncle Hamzah bin ‘Abdul Muttalib. She said: “To Allâh we belong and to Him we will verily return. I  ask
Allâh’s forgiveness.” But when he announced the death of her husband Mus‘ab bin ‘Umair to her, she  shouted and woed. Seeing her doing so, the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) said: “The  woman’s husband is extremely dear to her.”
He passed by a woman of Bani Dinar whose husband, father and brother were all killed at Uhud. When  their death announced, she said: “How is the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him)?” They said:
“Well indeed. O mother of so... Thanks for Allâh; he is well and as good as you desire.” She said: “Let  me see him.” They pointed at him. Seeing him she said: “All misfortunes are nothing so long as you  are  safe.”
Umm Sa‘d bin Mu‘adh came running to see the Prophet (Peace be upon him). At that time her son was  holding the rein of his mare. Seeing his mother, he said to the Prophet (Peace be upon him): “O
Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him). This is my mother.” The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said:
“She is welcome”; and he stopped and waited for her. When she drew near, he consoled her, for her  killed son ‘Amr bin Mu‘adh. But she said: “So long as I see you are safe, my misfortune will certainly  go  into oblivion.” Then the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) supplicated Allâh for the relatives of  those who were killed at Uhud and said: “Cheer up! Umm Sa‘d and bear good tidings to their kindred
