Overview
After the polytheists withdrew, the Prophet went over the martyrs of Uhud. He ordered that those whose dead were carried back to Medina be returned, and that they be buried in their resting places in their clothes, after the iron and leather were removed, without washing. 1
The burial
He would put two or three in one grave, and put forward the one with most of the Qur'an. Abd Allah ibn Amr ibn Haram and Amr ibn al-Jamuh were buried in one grave for their love of each other. 1
They found Hanzala dripping water, and the Prophet said the angels were washing him, so he was called "the washed of the angels". They found Musab ibn Umayr and found no shroud for him except a striped mantle. 1
