Sahih Muslim Book - 11, Hadith - 2177

وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِىُّ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَى قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرُونَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ - عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ خَبَّابِ بْنِ الأَرَتِّ قَالَ هَاجَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ نَبْتَغِى وَجْهَ اللَّهِ فَوَجَبَ أَجْرُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ فَمِنَّا مَنْ مَضَى لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْئًا مِنْهُمْ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ. قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ شَىْءٌ يُكَفَّنُ فِيهِ إِلاَّ نَمِرَةٌ فَكُنَّا إِذَا وَضَعْنَاهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ خَرَجَتْ رِجْلاَهُ وَإِذَا وَضَعْنَاهَا عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ خَرَجَ رَأْسُهُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « ضَعُوهَا مِمَّا يَلِى رَأْسَهُ وَاجْعَلُوا عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ الإِذْخِرَ ». وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَيْنَعَتْ لَهُ ثَمَرَتُهُ فَهُوَ يَهْدِبُهَا.

It was narrated that Khabbab bin Al-Aratt said: "We emigrated with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), in Allah's cause, seeking the Face of Allah, and Allah has assured us of our reward. Some of us have passed on and have not taken any of their reward, including Mus'ab bin 'Umair, who was killed on the day of (the Battle of) Uhud. We could not find anything with which to shroud him except a Namirah which, if we put it on his head, his feet showed, and if we put it over his feet, his head showed. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Put it over his head, and put some Idhkhir on his feet.' And for some of us the fruit has ripened and we are harvesting it."
