Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pray over the martyrs of Uhud, and when did he pray?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The narrator says: So he prayed over Abu Akram with the prayer for the deceased. Yes, it is certain that he prayed the prayer for the deceased.
The Shaykh : Correct, the prayer for the deceased means he said takbir, recited Surat al-Fatihah, said takbir, prayed for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), said takbir, and made du'a for him.
The questioner : What are you saying frankly?
The Shaykh : No, if it had been prescribed, he would have prayed over them when they were killed. He did not pray over them when they were killed. Yes? Or after the burial? This was at the end of his life. When was Uhud? In the third year, and this was either in the tenth or the ninth year, Allah knows best, meaning six or seven years. Yes, that is the point. After their death? Yes. No, absolutely not, it is not correct, because it is established in Sahih al-Bukhari that he did not pray over them.
