Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Sasaca
that he had heard that Amr ibn al-Jamuh al-Ansari and Abdullah ibn
Umar al-Ansari, both of the tribe of Banu Salami, had their grave
uncovered by a flood. Their grave was part of what was left after the
flood. They were in the same grave, and they were among those martyred
at Uhud. They were dug up so that they might be moved. They were found
unchanged. It was as if they had died only the day before. One of them
had been wounded, and he had put his hand over his wound and had been
buried like that. His hand was pulled away from his wound and
released, and it returned to where it had been. It was forty-six years
between Uhud and the day they were dug up.
Malik said, "There is no harm in burying two or three men in the same grave due to necessity. The oldest one is put next to the qibla."
