ahmad:19417ʿAlī b. ʿĀṣim > al-Hajarī

[Machine] So we made the women say to their leader, "Bring him forward before the funeral." And so he did. He said, "Where is the funeral?" He said, "Behind you." He did that once or twice, then he said, "Did it not tire you to bring me forward before the funeral?" He said, "I heard a woman mourning and saying a eulogy." He said, "Why did you not prevent her from doing so? Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to forbid eulogies, so that one of you could let out her grief as she wished." When the funeral was set down, he came forward and made four takbirs (saying, "Allahu Akbar"). Then he stood for a moment, then praised Allah. Some people started to supplicate, and he brushed his beard with his hand and said, "Did you think that I was going to make a fifth takbir?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Verily, when the Prophet ﷺ made the fourth takbir, he would pause for a moment. When the funeral was set down, he would sit, and we would sit around him. He was asked about the meat of the domesticated donkeys. He said, "We came across a group of domesticated donkeys on the day of Khaibar. They had strayed away from the village, so the people slaughtered them. Indeed, the pots were boiling when a caller from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called out, 'Pour them out!' So we poured them out. And I saw Abdullah ibn Abu Awfa rubbing green matter from the pots."  

أحمد:١٩٤١٧حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ أَخْبَرَنَا الْهَجَرِيُّ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ فِي جِنَازَةِ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى وَهُوَ عَلَىبَغْلَةٍ لَهُ حَوَّاءَ يَعْنِي سَوْدَاءَ قَالَ

فَجَعَلْنَ النِّسَاءُ يَقُلْنَ لِقَائِدِهِ قَدِّمْهُ أَمَامَ الْجِنَازَةِ فَفَعَلَ قَالَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لَهُ أَيْنَ الْجِنَازَةُ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ خَلْفَكَ قَالَ فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَمْ أَنْهَكَ أَنْ تُقَدِّمَنِي أَمَامَ الْجِنَازَةِ؟ قَالَ فَسَمِعَ امْرَأَةً تَلْتَدِمُ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً تَرْثِي فَقَالَ مَهْ أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُنَّ عَنْ هَذَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْمَرَاثِي لِتُفِضْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ مِنْ عَبْرَتِهَا مَا شَاءَتْ فَلَمَّا وُضِعَتِ الْجِنَازَةُ تَقَدَّمَ فَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ ثُمَّ قَامَ هُنَيْهَةً فَسَبَّحَ بِهِ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ فَانْفَتَلَ فَقَالَ أَكُنْتُمْ تَرَوْنَ أَنِّي أُكَبِّرُ الْخَامِسَةَ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا كَبَّرَ الرَّابِعَةَ قَامَ هُنَيَّةً فَلَمَّا وُضِعَتِ الْجِنَازَةُ جَلَسَ وَجَلَسْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَسُئِلَ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الْأَهْلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ تَلَقَّانَا يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ حُمُرٌ أَهْلِيَّةٌ خَارِجًا مِنَ الْقَرْيَةِ فَوَقَعَ النَّاسُ فِيهَا فَذَبَحُوهَا فَإِنَّ الْقُدُورَ لَتَغْلِي بِبَعْضِهَا إِذْ نَادَى مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَهْرِيقُوهَا فَأَهْرَقْنَاهَا وَرَأَيْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى مِطْرَفًا مِنْ خَزٍّ أَخْضَرَ
