Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet collected every two martyrs of Uhud (in one grave) and
then he would ask,"Which of them knew the Quran more?" And if one of
them was pointed out for him as having more knowledge, he would put
him first in the Lahd.The Prophet said, "I will be a witness on these
onthe Day of Resurrection."Then he ordered them tobe buried with their
blood on their bodies and he did not have them washed.

At the time of Rasulullah (SAW), people were honoured according to the
knowledge of Islam but sadly today, people are honoured according to
the knowledge of thismaterial world.
May Allah give us the ability to appreciate those who excel in the
knowledge of Islam.
