5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that someone asked the Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, ‘Why is a martyr not examined and tried in his grave?’ The Holy Prophet, replied, ‘It is because the sword over his head is a sufficient examinition and trial.’”
5- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مَا بَالُ الشَّهِيدِ لا يُفْتَنُ فِي قَبْرِهِ فَقَالَ [النَّبِيُّ] (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) كَفَى بِالْبَارِقَةِ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ فِتْنَةً.
