[4] Separate Grave for every martyr after the Battle of Siffeen: In a lengthy Hadith describing the Battle of Siffeen, it is: قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَضَى حَتَّى جُزْنَا دُورَ بَنِي عَوْفٍ فَإِذَا نَحْنُ عَنْ أَيْمَانِنَا بِقُبُورٍ سَبْعَةٍ أَوْ ثَمَانِيَةٍ فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مَا هَذِهِ الْقُبُورُ فَقَالَ لَهُ قُدَامَةُ بْنُ الْعَجْلَانِ الْأَزْدِيُّ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ خَبَّابَ بْنَ الْأَرَتِّ تُوُفِّيَ بَعْدَ مَخْرَجِكَ فَأَوْصَى أَنْ يُدْفَنَ فِي الظَّهْرِ وَ كَانَ النَّاسُ يُدْفَنُونَ فِي دُورِهِمْ وَ أَفْنِيَتِهِمْ فَدُفِنَ النَّاسُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he -asws went until we crossed over the houses of the clan of Awf, and there we were with seven or eight graves on our right.

فَقَالَ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ خَبَّاباً فَقَدْ أَسْلَمَ رَاغِباً وَ هَاجَرَ طَائِعاً وَ عَاشَ مُجَاهِداً وَ ابْتُلِيَ فِي جَسَدِهِ أَحْوَالًا وَ لَنْ يُضِيعَ اللَّهُ‏ أَجْرَ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ عَمَلًا He -asws said: ‘May Allah -azwj have Mercy on Khabab. He had become a Muslims being desirous and emigrated willingly, and lived as a fighter, and was afflicted with illness in his body, and Allah -azwj will never Waste a recompense of the one with good deeds’.

فَجَاءَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامُ يَا أَهْلَ الدِّيَارِ الْمُوحِشَةِ وَ الْمَحَالِّ الْمُقْفِرَةِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ الْمُسْلِمَاتِ أَنْتُمْ لَنَا سَلَفٌ وَ فَرَطٌ وَ نَحْنُ لَكُمْ تَبَعٌ وَ بِكُمْ عَمَّا قَلِيلٍ لَاحِقُونَ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَ لَهُمْ وَ تَجَاوَزْ عَنَّا وَ عَنْهُمْ He -asws came until he -asws paused at them, then said: ‘Upon you all is the greetings, O people of the lonely houses, the desolate places, from the believing men and the believing women, and the Muslim men and the Muslim women.
