9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] Someone informed me that they saw the Prophet ﷺ visiting a neglected grave and praying for its occupants. I asked them who informed them of this, and they said Ibn Abbas.
أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ أَتَى عَلَى قَبْرٍ مَنْبُوذٍ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ فَأَمَّهُمْ قُلْتُ فَمَنْ حَدَّثَكَ؟ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for a man after he was buried in the night. He and his companions were inquiring about him, so he asked, "Who is this?" They said, "He was buried last night, so he prayed for him 7001 times." Abu Amr narrated to us that Abu Bakr told him that Abu Ya'la informed him that Abu Khaythama narrated it from Jarir, except that he said, "Pray for him."
صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى رَجُلٍ بَعْدَمَا دُفِنَ بِلَيْلَةٍ قَامَ هُوَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ وَكَانَ يَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا دُفِنَ الْبَارِحَةَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ 7001 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو يَعْلَى ثنا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ثنا جَرِيرٌ بِذَلِكَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَصَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived at a damp grave and prayed for him. They lined up behind him and raised their voices in Takbir. I asked 'Amr, "Who informed you?" He said, "It was a trustworthy person who witnessed it, Abdullah ibn Abbas."
انْتَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى قَبْرٍ رَطْبٍ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَصَفُّوا خَلْفَهُ وَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا قُلْتُ لِعَامِرٍ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ؟ قَالَ الثِّقَةُ مَنْ شَهِدَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , prayed on a deceased person three times after his death. And it is narrated from Isma'il ibn Zakariya from Al-Shaybani through his chain of narrators that he prayed on a grave after it was buried for two nights, which we mentioned in the Khilafiyyat.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى عَلَى مَيِّتٍ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ بِثَلَاثٍ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ صَلَّى عَلَى قَبْرٍ بَعْدَمَا دُفِنَ بِلَيْلَتَيْنِ ذَكَرْنَاهُ فِي الْخِلَافِيَّاتِ
[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ visited a grave after a month. Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Al-Harith Al-Asbahan told us that Ali ibn Umar Al-Hafiz narrated to us, who was narrated by Ibn Sa'id, who was narrated by Bishr ibn Adam, who was narrated by Abu Asim. Ali said that Bishr ibn Adam mentioned it and differed from others about it, going against Abu Asim.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى عَلَى قَبْرٍ بَعْدَ شَهْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ ثنا ابْنُ صَاعِدٍ ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ آدَمَ ثنا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ فَذَكَرَهُ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ بِشْرُ بْنُ آدَمَ وَخَالَفَهُ غَيْرُهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَاصِمٍ
[Machine] Abu Asim Al-Nabeel narrated from Sufyan, from Al-Shaibani, from Al-Sha'bi, from Ibn Abbas, that the Prophet ﷺ prayed on a grave after it was buried, and similarly...
ثنا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ النَّبِيلُ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى عَلَى قَبْرٍ بَعْدَمَا دُفِنَ وَكَذَلِكَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to a forsaken grave, so he prayed for him and we prayed with him.
أَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى قَبْرٍ مَنْبُوذٍ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ
[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ prayed at a grave after it was buried 7008 times, and Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, narrating from Ali ibn Isa ibn Ibrahim, narrating from Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn al-Nadr al-Jaroudi, narrating from Abu Ghassan Muhammad ibn Amr al-Razi, Zunayj narrated from Yahya ibn al-Durais, narrating from Ibrahim ibn Tahoma who mentioned it in a similar manner.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى عَلَى قَبْرٍ بَعْدَمَا دُفِنَ 7008 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ الْجَارُودِيُّ ثنا أَبُو غَسَّانَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّازِيُّ زُنَيْجٌ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ الضُّرَيْسِ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمِثْلِهِ
[Machine] He said, "I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he passed by a grave with fresh soil. He asked, 'Whose grave is this?' It was said, 'It is the grave of so-and-so.' He then descended and lined his companions behind him, and he prayed over it. I also prayed over him, and it seemed as if he heard the conversation from both sides. This narration has been reported by Anas bin Malik, Abu Hurairah, and others from the Prophet ﷺ."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ مَرَّ بِقَبْرٍ حَدِيثِ عَهْدٍ بِدَفْنٍ فَقَالَ قَبْرُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَقِيلَ قَبْرُ فُلَانٍ قَالَ فَنَزَلَ فَصَفَّ أَصْحَابَهَ خَلْفَهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا فِيمَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَكَأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الْحَدِيثَ مِنَ الْوَجْهَيْنِ جَمِيعًا وَرُوِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَغَيْرِهِمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed upon the grave of a woman after she was buried.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى عَلَى قَبْرِ امْرَأَةٍ بَعْدَمَا دُفِنَتْ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ passed by a grave and said, "Whose grave is this?" They said, "The grave of so and so." He said, "Could you not have informed me?" So they made it smaller and humbled it. Then he prayed for him after he was buried and said, "These graves are filled with darkness upon their inhabitants, and indeed Allah will illuminate them with my prayers upon them."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِقَبْرٍ يُدْفَنُ فَقَالَ قَبْرُ مَنْ هَذَا قَالُوا قَبْرُ فُلَانٍ قَالَ أَفَلَا كُنْتُمْ آذَنْتُمُونِي قَالَ فَصَغَّرُوا أَمْرَهُ وَحَقَّرُوهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ بَعْدَ مَا دُفِنَ وَقَالَ هَذِهِ الْقُبُورُ مَمْلُوءَةٌ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا ظُلْمَةً وَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَيُنَوِّرُهَا بِصَلَاتِي عَلَيْهَا وَقَدْ
[Machine] A black woman or a man used to always pray at the mosque, but the Prophet ﷺ noticed that he was missing. So, he asked about him and they said that he had passed away. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Why didn't you inform me? Show me his grave." They showed him the grave and he prayed for him.
أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَوْدَاءَ أَوْ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ فَفَقَدَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا مَاتَ فَقَالَ أَفَلَا آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهِ دُلُّونِي عَلَى قَبْرِهِ فَدَلُّوهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ
[Machine] A black woman used to attend the mosque regularly, but when she died, the Prophet (PBUH) missed her. He asked about her after a few days and was informed that she had died. He said, "Why didn't you inform me?" He then went to her grave and prayed for her. Ibn Abda added in his narration that Hammad informed him that Thabit said, "The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, 'These graves are filled with darkness for their inhabitants, but Allah illuminates them with my prayers upon them.'"
أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَوْدَاءَ كَانَتْ تَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ فَمَاتَتْ فَفَقَدَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهَا بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهَا مَاتَتْ فَقَالَ هَلَّا كُنْتُمْ آذَنْتُمُونِي فَأَتَى قَبْرَهَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا زَادَ ابْنُ عَبْدَةَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ وَأَنْبَأَ حَمَّادٌ ثنا ثَابِتٌ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْقُبُورَ مَمْلُوءَةٌ ظُلْمَةً عَلَى أَهْلِهَا وَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُنَوِّرُهَا بِصَلَاتِي عَلَيْهَا
[Machine] So he or she died and the Prophet ﷺ lost her, so he said, "What did the man who used to take care of the mosque do?" It was said, "He died." He said, "Why didn't you inform me?" They said, "It was night." He said, "Then show me her grave." He came to the grave and prayed for her, then he said, "It is certain, or in another narration, Thabit said that these graves are filled with darkness for its people, and Allah, the Almighty, illuminates it with my prayers upon it, and what overwhelms my heart is that this addition is not narrated by Abu Rafi' from Abu Hurairah. So either it is from Thabit, transmitted from the Prophet ﷺ in a disconnected chain, or it is sent by him."
فَمَاتَ أَوْ مَاتَتْ فَفَقَدَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ الْإِنْسَانُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ فَقِيلَ مَاتَ قَالَ فَهَلَّا آذَنْتُمُونِي بِهِ فَقَالُوا إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَيْلًا قَالَ فَدُلُّونِي عَلَى قَبْرِهَا قَالَ فَأَتَى الْقَبْرَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ ثَابِتٌ عِنْدَ ذَاكَ أَوْ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْقُبُورَ مَمْلُوءَةٌ ظُلْمَةً عَلَى أَهْلِهَا وَإِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يُنَوِّرُهَا بِصَلَاتِي عَلَيْهَا وَالَّذِي يَغْلِبُ عَلَى الْقَلْبِ أَنْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةُ فِي غَيْرِ رِوَايَةِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَإِمَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُرْسَلَةٌ كَمَا
[Machine] He said that a man used to follow the debris of the mosque and pick it up. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ lost him, so he asked, "What happened to so-and-so?" It was said to him, "He has died." He said, "Let whomever is willing among his companions go ahead." So, he ordered them and they lined up, then he went forward and prayed for him with them.
أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَتَتَبَّعُ قَذَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَيَلْقِطُهُ فَفَقَدَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ فُلَانٌ فَقِيلَ إِنَّهُ مَاتَ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ مَنْ شَاءَ اللهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَأَمَرَهُمْ فَصَفُّوا ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ بِهِمْ
[Machine] The prayer was recited over a grave after three days. Jamee' ibn Ahmad informed us, who were informed by Abu Tahir al-Muhammada'abi, who narrated from Uthman al-Darimi, who narrated from Ahmad ibn Asim al-Kufi, from the family of Malik ibn Mighwal, who narrated from Hammad ibn Waqid al-Saffar. He mentioned it and said that Hammad ibn Waqid is weak and that this Ta'qit is not reliable. Only what some narrators have mentioned from Hammad ibn Zaid is authentic. He asked about it after a few days, and in some narrations, he mentioned it on a different day. It has been narrated in this [hadith] from Yazid ibn Thabit, the brother of Zaid ibn Thabit, from the Prophet ﷺ, and Yazid ibn Thabit has witnessed the Battle of Badr, while Zaid did not witness it.
ﷺ صَلَّى عَلَى قَبْرٍ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ 7017 أَخْبَرَنَا جَامِعُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ أنبأ أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْمُحَمَّدَآبَاذِيُّ ثنا عُثْمَانُ الدَّارِمِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ الْكُوفِيُّ مِنْ آلِ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ الصَّفَّارُ فَذَكَرَهُ وَحَمَّادُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ هَذَا ضَعِيفٌ وَهَذَا التَّأْقِيتُ لَا يَصِحُّ الْبَتَّةَ وَإِنَّمَا يَصِحُّ مَا ذَكَرَهُ بَعْضُ الرُّوَاةِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهَا بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ وَفِي بَعْضِ الرِّوَايَاتِ فَذَكَرَهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ فِي هَذَا عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ أَخِي زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا وَزَيْدٌ لَمْ يَشْهَدْهُ
[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Al-Baqi' and he saw a new grave, so he asked about it and was informed. He recognized it and said, "Did you not inform me?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we thought it would grieve you, so we did not inform you." He said, "You should not do that. I do not know what will happen to any of you after I am gone, so whenever you come to a grave, send blessings upon the deceased, for my prayers will reach him wherever he may be." Then he approached the grave and prayed for him. We lined up behind him and he raised his hands four times. It was narrated from 'Amir bin Rabi'ah and Buraidah from the Prophet ﷺ.
خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَرَأَى قَبْرًا جَدِيدًا فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَذُكِرَ لَهُ فَعَرَفَهُ فَقَالَ أَلَا آذَنْتُمُونِي قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كُنْتَ قَائِلًا فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نُؤْذِيَكَ فَقَالَ لَا تَفْعَلُوا لَا أَعْرِفَنَّ مَا مَاتَ مِنْكُمْ مَيِّتٌ مَا دُمْتُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ إِلَّا آذَنْتُمُونِي فَإِنَّ صَلَاتِي عَلَيْهِ رَحْمَةٌ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْقَبْرَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ فَصَفَّنَا عَلَيْهِ وَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا وَرُوِيَ فِيهِ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ وَبُرَيْدَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
[Machine] Some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to visit the sick among the poor Muslims and their weak ones, and he would attend their funerals and no one else would pray over them except for him. They also informed him that a poor woman from the people of Al-Awali fell ill for a long time, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would ask about her from her neighbors who had visited her, and he ordered them not to bury her if anything happened to her until he prayed over her. Then that woman died at night, so they carried her to the place of funeral or the area of funerals near the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for him to pray over her as he had ordered them. But when it was morning, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked about her from those who had visited her and they informed him of her story, and that they disliked waking up the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from his sleep. Therefore, they prayed over her and carried her. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up, he asked about her from her neighbors and they informed him of her situation and that they disliked waking him up for her. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked them, "Why did you do that? Go and bring her here." So they went with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until they reached her grave, and they lined up behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as they would line up for the funeral prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed over her and performed four takbeers (saying "Allahu Akbar") as he would do for the funeral prayer.
أَنَّ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَعُودُ مَرْضَى مَسَاكِينِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَضُعَفَاءَهَمْ وَيَتْبَعُ جَنَائِزَهَمْ وَلَا يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِمْ أَحَدٌ غَيْرَهُ وَأَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِسْكِينَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعَوَالِي طَالَ سَقَمُهَا فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْأَلُ عَنْهَا مَنْ حَضَرَهَا مِنْ جِيرَانِهَا وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ لَا يَدْفِنُوهَا إِنْ حَدَثَ بِهَا حَدَثٌ فَيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهَا فَتُوُفِّيَتْ تِلْكَ الْمَرْأَةُ لَيْلًا وَاحْتَمَلُوهَا فَأَتَوْا بِهَا مَع الْجَنَائِزَ أَوْ قَالَ مَوْضِعَ الْجَنَائِزِ عِنْدَ مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَمَا أَمَرَهُمْ فَوَجَدُوهُ قَدْ نَامَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ فَكَرِهُوا أَنْ يُهْجِدُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ فَصَلَّوْا عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ انْطَلَقُوا بِهَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَأَلَ عَنْهَا مَنْ حَضَرَهُ مِنْ جِيرَانِهَا فَأَخْبَرُوهُ خَبَرَهَا وَأَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوا أَنْ يُهْجِدُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَلِمَ فَعَلْتُمْ؟ انْطَلِقُوا فَانْطَلَقُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى قَامُوا عَلَى قَبْرِهَا فَصَفُّوا وَرَاءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَمَا يُصَفُّ لِلصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْجَنَائِزِ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا كَمَا يُكَبِّرُ عَلَى الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ passed by a new grave that had just been buried and with him was Abu Bakr. He asked, "Whose grave is this?" Abu Bakr replied, "O Messenger of Allah, this is the grave of Umm Mihan, who used to sweep the dust from the mosque." The Prophet said, "Why didn't you inform me?" They replied, "You were asleep and we did not want to disturb you." The Prophet said, "Do not do this, for my prayer over your deceased is a light for them in their graves." He then lined up his companions and prayed over her. Abu Sinan said, "I mentioned this hadith to 'Amr ibn Murrah, and he said, 'Abu Musa and his companions prayed over a grave after it was buried. Shouldn't we be the first to pray over it?'"
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ عَلَى قَبْرٍ جَدِيدٍ حَدِيثِ عَهْدِ بِدَفْنٍ وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ قَبْرُ مَنْ هَذَا فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذِهِ أُمُّ مِحْجَنٍ كَانَتْ مُولَعَةً بِلَقْطِ الْقَذَى مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ أَفَلَا آذَنْتُمُونِي فَقَالُوا كُنْتَ نَائِمًا فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نُهِيجَكَ قَالَ فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا فَإِنَّ صَلَاتِي عَلَى مَوْتَاكُمْ نُورٌ لَهُمْ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ قَالَ فَصَفَّ أَصْحَابَهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا قَالَ أَبُو سِنَانٍ فَعَرَضْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى وَأَصْحَابَهُ صَلَّوْا عَلَى قَبْرٍ بَعْدَ مَا دُفِنَ وَقَالَ أَلَا سَبَقَ الْقَوْمُ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for Umm Sa'd after her death for a month, and likewise.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى عَلَى أُمِّ سَعْدٍ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا بِشَهْرٍ وَكَذَلِكَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "These two fingers, meaning the little finger and the thumb, are equal in the diya (blood money). It was said to him, 'If you prayed for Umm Sa'd when she was sick and the Prophet ﷺ was absent.' Abu Sa'd al-Malini informed us, Abu Ahmad ibn 'Adi al-Hafiz informed us, Ishaq ibn Ibrahim and Imran al-Sakhtiani said, Sufyan ibn Sa'id mentioned him and this statement about his prayer for Umm Sa'd in this chain is unique to Sufyan ibn Sa'id, and the famous narration is from Qatadah, from Ibn al-Musayyib, from the Prophet ﷺ . It is a mursal hadith as mentioned by Abu Dawud in what he narrated from Ahmad bin Hanbal, that Ahmad was asked about it and he said, 'Do not narrate with such a hadith to be reliable like this.'"
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَذِهِ وَهَذِهِ فِي الدِّيَةِ سَوَاءٌ يَعْنِي الْخِنْصَرَ وَالْإِبْهَامَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ لَوْ صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى أُمِّ سَعْدٍ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا وَقَدْ أَتَى لَهَا شَهْرٌ وَقَدْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ غَائِبًا أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو سَعْدٍ الْمَالِينِيُّ ثنا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعِمْرَانُ السَّخْتِيَانِيُّ قَالَا ثنا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ فَذَكَرَهُ وَهَذَا الْكَلَامُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ عَلَى أُمِّ سَعْدٍ فِي هَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ يَنْفَرِدُ بِهِ سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَالْمَشْهُورُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُرْسَلًا كَمَا مَضَى وَفِيمَا حَكَى أَبُو دَاوُدَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ أَنَّهُ قِيلِ لِأَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَ بِهِ سُوَيْدٌ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ زُرَيْعٍ قَالَ لَا تُحَدِّثْ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ migrated and he started praying towards the Qiblah. When death approached him, he bequeathed one third of his wealth to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to do with it as he pleased. He also said, "O Allah, make me face the Qiblah in my grave." The Prophet ﷺ came after a year and prayed upon him, and one third of his inheritance was returned to his son. This is how I found it in my book. The correct version is after a month. And Allah knows best. This is a message and we have been narrated it in this book from Abdul Aziz Al-Darawardi from Yahya bin Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah, reported consecutively without interruption.
أَنْ يُهَاجِرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ يُصَلِّي نَحْوَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ أَوْصَى بِثُلُثِ مَالِهِ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَضَعُهُ حَيْثُ شَاءَ وَقَالَ وَجِّهُونِي فِي قَبْرِي نَحْوَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَقَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَعْدَ سَنَةٍ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ هُوَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ وَرَدَّ ثُلُثَ مِيرَاثِهِ عَلَى وَلَدِهِ هَكَذَا وَجَدْتُهُ فِي كِتَابِي وَالصَّوَابُ بَعْدَ شَهْرٍ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ وَهَذَا مُرْسَلٌ وَقَدْ رُوِّينَاهُ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيِّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مَوْصُولًا دُونَ التَّأْقِيتِ
[Machine] Where is my brother's grave? So she went to it and prayed over it. Others also added to it after his death by a month.
أَيْنَ قَبْرُ أَخِي؟ فَأَتَتْهُ فَصَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ زَادَ فِيهِ غَيْرُهُ بَعْدَ وَفَاتِهِ بِشَهْرٍ
[Machine] Ibn Umar arrived after the death of Aasim bin Umar by three days and he went to his grave and prayed for him.
قَدِمَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بِثَلَاثٍ فَأَتَى قَبْرَهَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ
