حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ
إِنَّكُمْ لَتَخْطُونَ إِلَى أَقْوَامٍ مَا هُمْ بِأَعْلَمَ بِحَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَّا، قُتِلَ أَبِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: احْفِرُوا، وَأَوْسِعُوا، وَادْفِنُوا الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ، وَقَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا ". وَكَانَ أَبِي أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا؛ فَقُدِّمَ

✧ "You are going to people who are not more knowledgeable of the hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than we are. My father was killed on the day of Uhud, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Dig and make the graves wide, and bury two or three in a grave, and put forward the one who had memorized the most Qur'an.' My father was the one who had memorized the most Qur'an, so he was put forward."
