Hadith text

Narrated Jabir:My father's mutilated body was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) and was placed in front of him. I went to uncover his face but my companions forbade me. Then mourning cries of a lady were heard, and it was said that she was either the daughter or the sister of `Amr. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why is she crying?" Or said, "Do not cry, for the angels are still shading him with their wings." (Al-Bukhari asked Sadaqa, a sub-narrator, "Does the narration include the expression: 'Till he was lifted?' " The latter replied, "Jabir may have said it)

Jabir bataate hain: Mere waalid ka vikrit shariir Nabi ke paas laaya gaya aur unke saamne rakha gaya. Main unka chehra kholne gaya magar mere saathiyon ne mujhe roka. Phir ek aurat ki rone ki aawaaz sunaee dee, aur bataya gaya ke woh Amr ki beti ya behn thi. Nabi ne kaha: "Woh kyun ro rahi hai?" Ya kaha: "Mat roo, kyunke farishte abhi bhi unhe apne paron se chhaaya de rahe hain." (Al-Bukhari ne Sadaqa, doosre raawi se pucha: "Kya riwaayat mein yeh alfaaz hain: 'Jab tak unhe uthaya nahi gaya?'" Unhone jawab diya: "Jabir ne shayad aisa kaha ho.")
