Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported:
My father fell as a martyr on the Day of Uhud and I attempted to uncover his face and weep, but they (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) forbade me to do this, whereas Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) did not forbid me and Fatima bint Amr, the sister of my father, was also weeping There- upon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: You may weep or you may not weep; the Angels provide him shade with the help of their wings until you lift him (to be buried in the grave).
