9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] A man from the tribe of Sa'dah came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my parents have passed away. Is there anything left that I can do for them after their death?" The Prophet replied, "Yes, there are four things: praying for them, seeking forgiveness for them, fulfilling their pledges after their death, and honoring their close friends. Additionally, maintaining the ties of kinship that can only be maintained through them." The man said, "How abundant and sweet these actions are, O Messenger of Allah!" The Prophet said, "Then perform them, for they will reach them."
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺفَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَوِيَّ قَدْ هَلَكَا فَهَلْ بَقِيَ مِنْ بِرِّهِمَا شَيْءٌ أَصِلُهُمَا بِهِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِمَا قَالَ نَعَمْ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْيَاءَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَيْهِمَا وَالِاسْتِغْفَارُ لَهُمَا وَإِنْفَاذُ عَهْدِهِمَا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَوْتِهِمَا وَإِكْرَامُ صَدِيقِهِمَا وَصِلَةُ رَحِمِهِمَا الَّتِي لَا رَحِمَ لَكَ إِلَّا مِنْ قِبَلِهِمَا فَقَالَ مَا أَكْثَرَ هَذَا وَأَطْيَبَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَاعْمَلْ بِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَصِلُ إِلَيْهِمَا
