Narrated Jabir: My father’s mutilated body was brought to the Prophet 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 said, “Why is she crying?” Or said, “Do not cry, for the angels are still shading him with their wings.” (Al-Bukhari asked Sadqa, a sub-narrator, “Does the narration include the expression: ‘Till he was lifted?’ ” The latter replied, “Jabir may have said it.”)
Hadith In Arabic Text :
حدثنا صدقة بن الفضل، قال أخبرنا ابن عيينة، قال سمعت محمد بن المنكدر، أنه سمع جابرا، يقول جيء بأبي إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وقد مثل به ووضع بين يديه، فذهبت أكشف عن وجهه، فنهاني قومي، فسمع صوت صائحة فقيل ابنة عمرو، أو أخت عمرو. فقال ” لم تبكي أو لا تبكي، ما زالت الملائكة تظله بأجنحتها ”. قلت لصدقة أفيه حتى رفع قال ربما قاله.
