Al-Zobair ibn Al-Aoaam may Allay be pleased with him said: On Uhud day, a woman was coming towards us, she was about to see the murders killed during the battle. The prophet peace be upon Him hated that she saw them so He peace be Upon him shouted: the woman…the woman.
Al-Zobair said: I guessed that she was Safia Bent Abed Al-Mutalaab, the aunt of the prophet ; I hurried towards her before she could see the murders' scene. She beat me in my chest as she was a strong woman and she told me: let me alone.
I told her that the prophet peace be upon him swore on her not to go to see the murders. So she stopped and she said: I had brought two grave- clothes to enshroud my brother Hamzah in them. Al-Zobair said: we took the two grave-clothes to enshroud Hamzah but we found a killed man from Al-Ansaar who had no clothes to be shrouded in them. We decided to use one cloth for Hamzah and the other cloth for the Ansarian man, but we found one cloth was longer than the other; therefore we cast a ballot between the two clothes, thus every one of them is enshrouded in his own cloth.
