ahmad:3472ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Ibn Jurayj > Ibrāhīm b. Abū Khidāsh > Ibn ʿAbbās

[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ reached the graveyard, which was on his first path, he pointed with his hand behind the braid or he said behind the enclosure. Abdullah bin Az-Zubair had doubts, so he said, "Is this indeed a good graveyard?" I asked the one who informed me, "Did he specifically mention the people?" He said, "Yes, that's what he said." He would not inform me of anything specific except for that reason, so he pointed with his hand behind the braid or the enclosure. And we heard that the Prophet ﷺ specifically mentioned the opposite people to the house.  

أحمد:٣٤٧٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي خِدَاشٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

لَمَّا أَشْرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى الْمَقْبُرَةِ وَهِيَ عَلَى طَرِيقِهِ الْأُولَى أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ وَرَاءَ الضَّفِيرِ أَوْ قَالَ وَرَاءَ الضَّفِيرَةِ شَكَّ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ فَقَالَ نِعْمَ الْمَقْبُرَةُ هَذِهِ فَقُلْتُ لِلَّذِي أَخْبَرَنِي أَخَصَّ الشِّعْبَ؟ قَالَ هَكَذَا قَالَ فَلَمْ يُخْبِرْنِي أَنَّهُ خَصَّ شَيْئًا إِلَّا لِذَلِكَ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ وَرَاءَ الضَّفِير أَوِ الضَّفِيرةِ وَكُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَصَّ الشِّعْبَ الْمُقَابِلَ لِلْبَيْتِ

[Machine] "When the Prophet ﷺ approached the graveyard while he was on his way, he pointed with his hand behind the edge or side, and said, 'What a beautiful graveyard this is.' I asked the one who informed me, 'Did he specifically mean the people?' He said, 'This is how we used to hear that the Prophet ﷺ singled out the people facing the house.'"
