Q
What does the story of Mus’ab bin ‘Umar teach about the sacrifices made by early Muslims for their faith?
A
We migrated with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) seeking Allah’s Countenance, so our rewards became due and sure
with Allah. Some of us passed away without eating anything of their rewards in this world. One of
these was Mus`ab bin `Umar who was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud. We did not find
anything to shroud his body with except a striped cloak. When we covered his head with it, his feet
remained uncovered, and when we covered his feet with it, his head remained uncovered. So Allah’s
Apostle ordered us to cover his head with it and put some Idhkhir (i.e. a kind of grass) over his feet.
And there are some amongst us whose fruits have ripened and they are collecting them (i.e. they have
received their rewards in this world).
