Sahih Muslim Book - 44, Hadith - 6355

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : أُصِيبَ أَبِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَكْشِفُ الثَّوْبَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ ، وَأَبْكِي وَجَعَلُوا يَنْهَوْنَنِي ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لاَ يَنْهَانِي ، قَالَ : وَجَعَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ عَمْرٍو ، تَبْكِيهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : تَبْكِيهِ ، أَوْ لاَ تَبْكِيهِ ، مَا زَالَتِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ تُظِلُّهُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا ، حَتَّى رَفَعْتُمُوهُ.

It was narrated that Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "My father was killed on the Day of Uhud and I started to lift the cloth from his face, and I was weeping, and they started telling me not to do that, but the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) did not tell me not to do it. Fatimah hint 'Amr began to weep and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Weep for him or do not weep for him. The angels continued to shade him with their wings until you lifted him up."'
