those after me of the blessings you have bestowed on us.' So exalted Allah sent down: "Think not of
those who are killed in the way of Allah as dead Nay, they are alive, with their Lord, and they have

nor shall they grieve" (3 :169-170).
When the Muslims were identifying their pious martyrs after the Battle of Uhud and the family of
`Abd Allah Ibn `Amr had identified his corpse, his wife carried him, together with her brother who was
martyred also, on her camel. She began taking them back to Al-Madiinah to bury them there. Likewise
did some other Muslims for their martyrs. But the crier of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) caught up
with them and announced the Messenger's order: Bury the martyrs on their battle-ground. So they all
returned with their martyrs.
The Noble Prophet (PBUH) was supervising the burial of his martyred Companions who had
fulfilled their promise to Allah and sacrificed their precious souls as humble offerings to Allah and His
Messenger. When it was `Abd Allah lbn Hiraam's turn to be buried, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)
called, "Bury Abd Allah Ibn `Amr and `Amr Ibn Al-Jamuuh in one grave; they were loving and sincere
to each other in this world."
Now, during the moments of preparing the happy grave to receive the two noble martyrs, let us have
a loving look at the second martyr, `Amr Ibn Al-Jamuuh!
