9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] All of that has been forty-five, so we gathered on four in the takbeer during the funeral.
كُلُّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ كَانَ أَرْبَعًا وَخَمْسًا فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ فِي التَّكْبِيرِ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ
[Machine] They used to say takbeer (saying "Allahu Akbar") seven, five, and six times during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or they said four times. Umar ibn al-Khattab then gathered the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and each man informed them of what he had seen. Umar then gathered them together for the funeral prayer and they said four takbeers as long as the prayer. This was narrated by Waki' from Sufyan who said it was four instead of six. And in the narration of Waki' from Mis'ar, from Abdul Malik ibn Iyas ash-Shaybani, from Ibrahim who said: The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered in the house of Abu Mas'ood al-Ansari and they agreed that there should be four takbeers for the funeral prayer.
كَانُوا يُكَبِّرُونَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعًا وَخَمْسًا وَسِتًّا أَوْ قَالَ أَرْبَعًا فَجَمَعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ بِمَا رَأَى فَجَمَعَهُمْ عُمَرُ ؓ عَلَى أَرْبَعِ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ كَأَطْوَلِ الصَّلَاةِ وَرَوَاهُ وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ أَرْبَعًا مَكَانَ سِتًّا وَفِيمَا رَوَى وَكِيعٌ عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ اجْتَمَعَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ فَأَجْمَعُوا أَنَّ التَّكْبِيرَ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ أَرْبَعٌ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ prayed the funeral prayer for her, raised his hands four times during the prayer, and Abdullah ibn Abdurrahman Abu Umar Al-Khazzaz narrated it from Ikrimah, who is weak. This wording has been transmitted from other narrators, all of whom are weak, except that the gathering of most of the companions on four is evidence of that. And Allah knows best.
جِنَازَةٍ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَبَّرَ عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعًا تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ النَّضْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو عُمَرَ الْخَزَّازُ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا اللَّفْظُ مِنْ وُجُوهٍ أُخَرَ كُلُّهَا ضَعِيفَةٌ إِلَّا أَنَّ اجْتِمَاعَ أَكْثَرِ الصَّحَابَةِ ؓ عَلَى الْأَرْبَعِ كَالدَّلِيلِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
[Machine] I prayed with Umar and Ali over the grave of Zainab, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ . Umar then recited the takbeer four times and sent a message to the wives of the Prophet ﷺ , asking who among them would enter her grave. Umar was amazed at the idea of entering her grave, so we sent to him saying that whoever saw her in her lifetime should enter her grave. He said: "We have spoken the truth."
صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ ؓ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَنْ يُدْخِلُهَا قَبْرَهَا وَكَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ يُعْجِبُهُ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهَا قَبْرَهَا فَأَرْسَلْنَ إِلَيْهِ ؓنَّ يُدْخِلُهَا قَبْرَهَا مَنْ كَانَ يَرَاهَا فِي حَيَاتِهَا قَالَ صَدَقْنَ
[Machine] "Oh Allah, your servant and the son of your servant has come to you. You are the best of those who receive guests. Oh Allah, make his entrance spacious for him and forgive his sin, for we only know goodness about him, and You know about him more than we do."
اللهُمَّ عَبْدُكَ وَوَلَدُ عَبْدِكَ نَزَلَ بِكَ وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْزُولٍ بِهِ اللهُمَّ وَسِّعْ لَهُ مُدْخَلَهُ وَاغْفِرْ لَهُ ذَنْبَهُ فَإِنَّا لَا نَعْلَمُ بِهِ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَأَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ
[Machine] He showed respect to his mother for forty years and never resented her kindness.
أَنَّهُ كَبَّرَ عَلَى أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعًا وَمَا حَسَدَهَا خَيْرًا
[Machine] Four companions of the Prophet: Abdullah ibn Mas'ood, Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib, Abu Huraira, and 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir.
كَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَالْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَعُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ
