Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

Ibn Isḥāq transmitted—on the authority of the teachers from whom he received the story of Uḥud—that Safiyyah came forward to look upon Ḥamzah, her full brother. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ therefore said to her son, al-Zubayr, “Meet her and send her back; let her not see what has happened to her brother.” Al-Zubayr met her and said, “Mother, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ instructs you to return.” She replied, “Why should I? I have been told that my brother has been mutilated. That is in the cause of Allah, and we are content with what has occurred. I shall seek the reward and be patient, if Allah wills.” Al-Zubayr went back and informed the Prophet ﷺ of her words, whereupon he said, “Then let her proceed.” She came, looked at Ḥamzah, said, “We belong to Allah and to Him we return,” sought forgiveness for him, and then he ordered that he be buried.

Abū Bakr ibn ʿAyyāsh reported—from Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād, from Maqsim, from Ibn ʿAbbās—that when Ḥamzah was killed Safiyyah approached, and ʿAlī and al-Zubayr pretended not to recognize her. She went to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said, “I fear for her reason.” He placed his hand upon her chest and prayed for her; she recited istirjāʿ and wept. The Prophet ﷺ then came and stood over Ḥamzah, who had been mutilated, and said, “Were it not for women’s grief I would leave him until he is raised from the crops of birds and the bellies of beasts.” He then ordered that the fallen be brought forward; he offered the funeral prayer over them with seven takbīrs, they would be removed while Ḥamzah remained, then another group of seven would be brought and he would pronounce seven takbīrs over them—until he had completed them all.

The report of Jābir stating that the Prophet ﷺ did not pray over them is more authentic.

In the two Ṣaḥīḥs there is a narration of ʿUqbah ibn ʿĀmir that the Prophet ﷺ offered the funeral prayer for those killed at Uḥud as one prays over the deceased. Allah knows best.

ʿUthmān ibn ʿUmar and Rūḥ ibn ʿUbādah, with the isnād cited by al-Ḥākim in al-Mustadrak to them, related: "Usāmah ibn Zayd narrated to us, from al-Zuhrī, from Anas…"

وروى ابن إسحاق، عن شيوخه الذين روى عنهم قصة أحد، أن صفية أقبلت لتنظر إلى حمزة -وهو أخوها لأبويها- فقال رسول الله ﷺ لابنها الزبير: "القها فأرجعها، لا ترى ما بأخيها". فلقيها فقال: أي أمه، إن رسول الله ﷺ يأمرك أن ترجعي, قالت: ولم؟ فقد بلغني أنه مثل بأخي، وذلك في الله فما أرضانا بما كان من ذلك، فلأحتسبن ولأصبرن إن شاء الله. فجاء الزبير فأخبره قولها, قال: "فخل سبيلها". فأتته، فنظرت إليه واسترجعت واستغفرت له ثم أمر به فدفن. وقال أبو بكر بن عياش عن يزيد بن أبي زياد عن مقسم عن ابن عباس قال: لما قتل حمزة أقبلت صفية فلقيت عليا والزبير فأرياها أنهما لا يدريان. فجاءت النبي ﷺ فقال: "فإني أخاف على عقلها". فوضع يده على صدرها ودعا لها، فاسترجعت وبكت ثم جاء فقام عليه وقد مثل به فقال: "لولا جزع النساء لتركته حتى يحشر من حواصل الطير وبطون السباع". ثم أمر بالقتلى فجعل يصلي عليهم سبع تكبيرات، ويرفعون ويترك حمزة، ثم يجاء بسبعة فيكبر عليهم سبعا، حتى فرغ منهم. وحديث جابر أن النبي ﷺ لم يصل عليهم أصح. وفي الصحيحين من حديث عقبة بن عامر أن النبي ﷺ صلى على قتلى أحد صلاته على الميت. فالله أعلم. عثمان بن عمر، وروح بن عبادة, بإسناد الحاكم في "المستدرك" إليهما: حدثنا أسامة بن زيد عن الزهري عن أنس
