Q
What role did Abu Talha play in the burial process, and why was he chosen?
A
We were (in the funeral procession) of one of the daughters of the Prophet (ﷺ) and he was sitting by the
side of the grave. I saw his eyes shedding tears. He said, “Is there anyone among you who did not
have sexual relations with his wife last night?” Abu Talha replied in the affirmative. And so the
Prophet told him to get down in the grave. And so he got down in her grave.
