📖 1 min readعن جابر بن عبد الله رضي الله عنهما قال : جِيءَ بأبي إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قد مُثِّل به، فوُضِع بين يديه؛ فذهبت أكشف عن وجهه فنهاني قومي، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : «ما زالت الملائكة تظله بأجنحتها».
‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr ibn Harām al-Ansāri, the father of Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him), was brought to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of the battle of Uhud. On that day, the disbelievers mutilated the bodies of the Muslims killed in that battle. When ‘Abdullāh's body was placed in front of the Prophet, Jābir wanted to uncover his face in agony for what the disbelievers had done with his body. However, his people stopped him from that and the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: The angels are still shading him with their wings, as an honor and tribute to him.
