Hadith 444
Hadith.445 - Hanzalah ibn Abu 'Amir, known as "the Rahib," was martyred at the Battle of Uhud. The Prophet Muhammad (sw) did not command that he be washed, saying: "I saw the angels washing Hanzalah with water from the clouds, using silver vessels." Because of this, he was given the title "Ghasil al-Malaika" (The One Washed by the Angels).
445 - وَ اُسْتُشْهِدَ حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ أَبِي عَامِرٍ اَلرَّاهِبُ بِأُحُدٍ فَلَمْ يَأْمُرِ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ بِغُسْلِهِ وَقَالَ «رَأَيْتُ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةَ بَيْنَ اَلسَّمَاءِ وَ اَلْأَرْضِ تُغَسِّلُ، حَنْظَلَةَ بِمَاءِ اَلْمُزْنِ فِي صِحَافٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَ كَانَ يُسَمَّى غَسِيلَ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةِ.
