Sahih al-Bukhari 1237 (Book 23, Hadith 37)
incumbent on Allah. Some of us died and they did not take anything from their rewards in this world,
and amongst them was Mustab bin `Umar; and the others were those who got their rewards. Mustab
bin `Umar was martyred on the day of the Battle of Uhud and we could get nothing except his Burd to
shroud him in. And when we covered his head his feet became bare and vice versa. So the Prophet (ﷺ)
ordered us to cover his head only and to put idhkhir (a kind of shrub) over his feet.
