حدثنا علي بن عبد الله، حدثنا سفيان، حدثنا ابن المنكدر، قال سمعت جابر بن عبد الله  رضى الله عنهما  قال جيء بأبي يوم أحد، قد مثل به حتى وضع بين يدى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وقد سجي ثوبا فذهبت أريد أن أكشف عنه فنهاني قومي، ثم ذهبت أكشف عنه فنهاني قومي، فأمر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فرفع فسمع صوت صائحة فقال ‏"‏ من هذه ‏"‏‏.‏ فقالوا ابنة عمرو أو أخت عمرو‏.‏ قال ‏"‏ فلم تبكي أو لا تبكي فما زالت الملائكة تظله بأجنحتها حتى رفع ‏"‏‏.‏
 Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:                     On the day of the Battle of Uhud, my father was brought and he had been mutilated (in battle) and was placed in front of Allah's Apostle and a sheet was over him. I went intending to uncover my father but my people forbade me; again I wanted to uncover him but my people forbade me. Allah's Apostle gave his order and he was shifted away. At that time he heard the voice of a crying woman and asked, "Who is this?" They said, "It is the daughter or the sister of `Amr." He said, "Why does she weep? (or let her stop weeping), for the angels had been shading him with their wings till he (i.e. the body of the martyr) was shifted away."
