9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to bury a man. When we returned and reached his door, there was a woman facing us whom we didn't think he knew. He said, "O Fatimah, where did you come from?" She said, "I came from the people of this household. I visited them in their time of bereavement and consoled them." He said, "Did you tell them about the hardship?" She said, "May Allah forbid that I convey to them the hardship. However, I heard you mention in it what you mentioned." He said, "If you had conveyed the hardship, you would not have seen the gate of Paradise until your father saw it, and the graves are the hardship."
قَبَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلًا فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا وَحَاذَيْنَا بَابَهُ إِذَا هُوَ بِامْرَأَةٍ مُقْبِلَةٍ لَا نَظُنُّهُ عَرَفَهَا فَقَالَ يَا فَاطِمَةُ مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتِ؟ قَالَتْ جِئْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ رَحِمْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ مَيِّتَهُمْ وَعَزَّيْتُهُمْ قَالَ فَلَعَلَّكِ بَلَغْتِ مَعَهُمُ الْكُدَى؟ قَالَتْ مَعَاذَ اللهِ أَنْ أَبْلُغَ مَعَهُمُ الْكُدَى وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ تَذْكُرُ فِيهِ مَا تَذْكُرُ قَالَ لَوْ بَلَغْتِ مَعَهُمُ الْكُدَى مَا رَأَيْتِ بَابَ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَرَاهَا جَدُّ أَبِيكِ وَالْكُدَى الْمَقَابِرُ
[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away and condolences were being given, they heard someone saying, "Indeed, in Allah there is consolation from every affliction, a successor from every perishing, and what you have missed out on can still be achieved. So rely on Allah and hope in Him, for the one who is deprived of reward is truly the one who is afflicted." This narration has also been reported from another perspective by Jafar, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ja'bir, and from another perspective by Anas ibn Malik. However, the chains of narration in these versions are weak and Allah knows best.
لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَجَاءَتِ التَّعْزِيَةُ سَمِعُوا قَائِلًا يَقُولُ إِنَّ فِي اللهِ عَزَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ مُصِيبَةٍ وَخَلَفًا مِنْ كُلِّ هَالِكٍ وَدَرَكًا مِنْ كُلِّ مَا فَاتَ فَبِاللهِ فَثِقُوا وَإِيَّاهُ فَارْجُوا فَإِنَّ الْمُصَابَ مَنْ حُرِمَ الثَّوَابَ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مَعْنَاهُ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَمِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَفِي أَسَانِيدِهِ ضَعْفٌ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ consoled a man and said, "May Allah have mercy on you and reward you, and this is a message."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَزَّى رَجُلًا فَقَالَ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ وَيَأْجُرُكَ وَهَذَا مُرْسَلٌ
