Usama ibn Zayd—on the authority of al-Zuhri, from Anas—said:

When the day of Uhud came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood over Hamzah, whose ears and nose had been cut off and whose body had been mutilated. He said, “Were it not that Safiyyah would feel anguish in her soul, I would have left him until Allah resurrected him from the bellies of the beasts of prey and the birds.”

Hamzah was wrapped in a striped cloak; when his head was covered his feet became exposed, and when his feet were covered his head became exposed. No funeral prayer was performed for any of the martyrs. The Prophet ﷺ said, “I bear witness for you.” He would bury three men—and sometimes two—in a single grave, then ask, “Which of them had memorised more of the Quran?” and place that one foremost in the niche. He shrouded two or three men together in a single garment (1).

Ibn ʿAwn—on the authority of ʿUmair ibn Ishaq, from Saʿd ibn Abi Waqqas—said:

Hamzah was fighting on the day of Uhud ahead of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with two swords, declaring, “I am the Lion of Allah!” (2)

Yunus ibn Bukayr transmitted it from Ibn ʿAwn, from ʿUmair as a mursal report, and he added:

He stumbled (3), fell flat on his back, the mail armour slipped from his abdomen, whereupon the Abyssinian slave thrust his spear into him (4) and ripped him open (5).
