Musnad Ahmad 1418
It was narrated that ‘Urwah said
My father az-Zubair (رضي الله عنه) told me that on the day of Uhud, a woman came running, and when she was about to reach where the slain were, the Prophet (ﷺ) did not want her to see them, and he said, `The woman, the woman!` az-Zubair (رضي الله عنه) said: “I thought that she was my mother Safiyyah, so I went running towards her and caught up with her before she reached the slain. She shoved me in the chest, and she was a tough woman.” She said: “Stay away from me, may you have no land!” I said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is urging you (not to go and see them).” She stopped and took out two pieces of cloth that she had with her and said: “These are two pieces of cloth that I have brought for my brother Hamzah. I have heard that he has been killed; shroud him with them.” We brought the two pieces of cloth to shroud Hamzah with them, but we saw beside him one of the Ansar who had been killed, and the same had been done to him as to Hamzah. We did not feel it was appropriate to shroud Hamzah in two pieces of cloth and to leave the Ansari with no shroud, so we said: “One piece for Hamzah and one piece for the Ansari.” We measured (the pieces of cloth) and found that one of them was larger, so we drew lots between them and shrouded each of them in the piece of cloth that was selected for him.حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْهَاشِمِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي الزُّبَيْرُ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ أَقْبَلَتْ امْرَأَةٌ تَسْعَى حَتَّى إِذَا كَادَتْ أَنْ تُشْرِفَ عَلَى الْقَتْلَى قَالَ فَكَرِهَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تَرَاهُمْ فَقَالَ الْمَرْأَةَ الْمَرْأَةَ قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَتَوَسَّمْتُ أَنَّهَا أُمِّي صَفِيَّةُ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ أَسْعَى إِلَيْهَا فَأَدْرَكْتُهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى الْقَتْلَى قَالَ فَلَدَمَتْ فِي صَدْرِي وَكَانَتْ امْرَأَةً جَلْدَةً قَالَتْ إِلَيْكَ لَا أَرْضَ لَكَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَزَمَ عَلَيْكِ قَالَ فَوَقَفَتْ وَأَخْرَجَتْ ثَوْبَيْنِ مَعَهَا فَقَالَتْ هَذَانِ ثَوْبَانِ جِئْتُ بِهِمَا لِأَخِي حَمْزَةَ فَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي مَقْتَلُهُ فَكَفِّنُوهُ فِيهِمَا قَالَ فَجِئْنَا بِالثَّوْبَيْنِ لِنُكَفِّنَ فِيهِمَا حَمْزَةَ فَإِذَا إِلَى جَنْبِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ قَتِيلٌ قَدْ فُعِلَ بِهِ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِحَمْزَةَ قَالَ فَوَجَدْنَا غَضَاضَةً وَحَيَاءً أَنْ نُكَفِّنَ حَمْزَةَ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ وَالْأَنْصَارِيُّ لَا كَفَنَ لَهُ فَقُلْنَا لِحَمْزَةَ ثَوْبٌ وَلِلْأَنْصَارِيِّ ثَوْبٌ فَقَدَرْنَاهُمَا فَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَكْبَرَ مِنْ الْآخَرِ فَأَقْرَعْنَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَكَفَّنَّا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا فِي الثَّوْبِ الَّذِي صَارَ لَهُ.
