To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq)
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ، قَالَ عُدْنَا خَبَّابًا فَقَالَ هَاجَرْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نُرِيدُ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ، فَوَقَعَ أَجْرُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ، فَمِنَّا مَنْ مَضَى لَمْ يَأْخُذْ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ، مِنْهُمْ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، وَتَرَكَ نَمِرَةً فَإِذَا غَطَّيْنَا رَأْسَهُ بَدَتْ رِجْلاَهُ، وَإِذَا غَطَّيْنَا رِجْلَيْهِ بَدَا رَأْسُهُ، فَأَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ نُغَطِّيَ رَأْسَهُ، وَنَجْعَلَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ مِنَ الإِذْخِرِ، وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَيْنَعَتْ لَهُ ثَمَرَتُهُ فَهْوَ يَهْدُبُهَا.
Narrated Abu Wail:We paid a visit to Khabbab who was sick, and he said, "We migrated with the Prophet (ﷺ) for Allah's Sake and our wages became due on Allah. Some of us died without having received anything of the wages, and one of them was Mus`ab bin `Umair, who was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud, leaving only one sheet (to shroud him in). If we covered his head with it, his feet became uncovered, and if we covered his feet with it, his head became uncovered. So the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to cover his head with it and put some Idhkhir (a kind of grass) over his feet. On the other hand, some of us have had the fruits (of our good deed) and are plucking them (in this world)Rapporté par Abou Waïl : Nous avons rendu visite à Khabbab qui était malade, et il a dit : « Nous avons émigré avec le Prophète (ﷺ) pour Allah, et notre récompense est due à Allah. Certains d’entre nous sont morts sans avoir reçu quoi que ce soit de cette récompense, et l’un d’eux était Mous`ab ibn `Oumar, qui a été martyrisé le jour de la bataille d’Uhud, ne laissant qu’un seul drap pour l’envelopper. Si nous couvrions sa tête, ses pieds restaient découverts, et si nous couvrions ses pieds, sa tête restait découverte. Alors le Prophète (ﷺ) nous a ordonné de couvrir sa tête avec le drap et de mettre de l’idhkhir (une sorte d’herbe) sur ses pieds. D’un autre côté, certains d’entre nous ont reçu les fruits (de leurs bonnes actions) et en profitent dans ce monde. »Grades given by scholars
