Sahih al-Bukhari 1236 (Book 23, Hadith 36)
`Umar was martyred and he was better than I and was shrouded in his Burd and when his head was
covered with it, his legs became bare, and when his legs were covered his head got uncovered. Hamza
was martyred and was better than I. Now the worldly wealth have been bestowed upon us (or said a
similar thing). No doubt, I fear that the rewards of my deeds might have been given earlier in this
world.” Then he started weeping and left his food.
