9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] A person who was a messenger of Allah ﷺ died and they buried him at night. When morning came, they informed him of his death. He asked, "What prevented you from notifying me?" They replied, "It was night and it was dark, so we disliked causing you inconvenience." He then went to his grave and prayed for him, the narration of their conversation being equal.
مَاتَ إِنْسَانٌ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺيَعُودُهُ فَدَفَنُوهُ بِاللَّيْلِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أَعْلَمُوهُ بِمَوْتِهِ فَقَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُكُمْ أَنْ تُعْلِمُونِي فَقَالُوا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ وَكَانَتِ الظُّلْمَةُ فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نَشُقَّ عَلَيْكَ فَأَتَى قَبْرَهَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِهِمَا سَوَاءٌ
[Machine] Some people saw fire in the cemetery, so they went towards it and found the messenger of Allah ﷺ in the grave. He was saying, "Bring your companion to me." It was him who used to raise his voice in remembrance (of Allah). And it has been narrated from Abu Dharr that this happened at night and he had a lamp with him.
رَأَى نَاسٌ نَارًا فِي الْمَقْبَرَةِ فَأَتَوْهَا فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺفِي الْقَبْرِ وَإِذَا هُوَ يَقُولُ نَاوِلُونِي صَاحِبَكُمْ فَإِذَا هُوَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ بِالذِّكْرِ وَقَدْ رُوِّينَا عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ؓ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ لَيْلًا وَكَانَ مَعَهُ الْمِصْبَاحُ
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ فَذَكَرَتْ حَدِيثًا ثُمَّ قَالَتْ قَالَ فِي أِيِّ يَوْمٍ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قُلْتُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ قَالَ أَرْجُو فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَتْ فَلَمْ يُتَوَفَّ حَتَّى أَمْسَى لَيْلَةَ الثُّلَاثَاءِ فَدُفِنَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ قَالَتْ وَقَدْ قَالَ فِي كَمْ كُفِّنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قُلْتُ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بِيضٍ سُحُولِيَّةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا قَمِيصٌ وَلَا عِمَامَةٌ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى ثَوْبٍ كَانَ يُمَرَّضُ فِيهِ فِيهِ رَدْعٌ مِنْ زَعْفَرَانٍ أَوْ مِشْقٍ فَقَالَ اغْسِلُوا ثَوْبِي هَذَا وَزِيدُوا فِيهِ ثَوْبَيْنِ وَكَفِّنُونِي فِيهَا قُلْتُ إِنَّ هَذَا خَلَقٌ قَالَ إِنَّ الْحِيَّ أَحَقُّ بِالْجَدِيدِ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ لِلْمُهْلَةِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الْعَبَّاسِ
[Machine] Abu Al-Abbas narrated from Ar-Rabi' that An-Nabahaniyyu narrated from Ash-Shafi'i who narrated from Ath-Thiqa from the people of Al-Madinah with a chain of narration that I do not remember exactly, that they mentioned that he (the Prophet) prayed upon Aqil ibn Abi Talib, and the sun turned slightly yellow before setting, but they did not wait for the sunset with it.
ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ أنبأ الثِّقَةُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ بِإِسْنَادٍ لَا أَحْفَظُهُ أَنَّهُ صُلِّيَ عَلَى عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ وَالشَّمْسُ مُصْفَرَّةٌ قَبْلَ الْمَغِيبِ قَلِيلًا وَلَمْ يَنْتَظِرُوا بِهِ مَغِيبَ الشَّمْسِ
