as is the case with anyone who is not washed. The hadith of 'Uqbah is specific to the martyrs of Uhud, as he performed the prayer over them in the graves after eight years, and they [the people] do not perform the funeral prayer over the grave at all, and we do not perform the prayer over him after a month. The hadith of Ibn Abbas is narrated by al-Hasan ibn 'Umarah, who is weak, and Shu'bah denounced his narration of this hadith. He said: Jarir ibn Hazim speaks to me about not speaking ill of al-Hasan ibn 'Umarah, and how can I not speak of him when he narrates this hadith! Furthermore, we interpret it as referring to supplication. If this is established, it is possible that the omission of washing the martyr is because of what washing entails of removing the trace of an act of worship that is legally considered good; for it has come from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "By Him in whose hand is my soul, no one is wounded (yuklam) in the way of Allah—and Allah knows best who is wounded in His way—but he will come on the Day of Resurrection, with the color being the color of blood and the scent being the scent of musk." Narrated by al-Bukhari. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said: "There is nothing more beloved to Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, than two drops"
