أحمد:٢٧٢٥٨حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ صَالِحٍ أَبِي حُجَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُدَيْجٍ قَالَ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ قَالَ

مَنْ غَسَّلَ مَيِّتًا وَكَفَّنَهُ وَتَبِعَهُ وَوَلِيَ جُثَّتَهُ رَجَعَ مَغْفُورًا لَهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ أَبِي لَيْسَ بِمَرْفُوعٍ
