9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He who strikes the cheeks or tears the garment and calls with the calls of the pre-Islamic era is not one of us." Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz, Abu Saeed ibn Abi Amr, and Abu Tharr ibn Abi al-Husayn ibn Abi al-Qasim al-Muzakkar narrated to us. They said: Abu Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated to us, who narrated from Harun ibn Suleiman, who narrated from Abdul Rahman ibn Mahdi, from Sufyan, from Shu'bah, from Al-A'mash, from Abdullah ibn Murrah, from Masruq, from Abdullah, from the Prophet ﷺ with similar words.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ ضَرَبَ الْخُدُودَ وَشَقَّ الْجُيُوبَ وَدَعَا بِدَعْوَى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ 7116 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو وَأَبُو ذَرِّ بْنُ أَبِي الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ الْمُذَكِّرِ قَالُوا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا هَارُونُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ وَشُعْبَةَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He is not one of us who strikes his cheeks, tears his garment, and calls upon the ways of ignorance, for both of these are equal in their sinfulness."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَطَمَ الْخُدُودَ وَشَقَّ الْجُيُوبَ وَدَعَا بِدَعْوَى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ لفْظُهُمَا سَوَاءٌ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, I am free from the one who shaves, plucks, and pierces."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنِّي بَرِئٌ مِمَّنْ حَلَقَ وَسَلَقَ وَخَرَقَ
Abu Musa got seriously ill, fainted and could not reply to his wife while he was lying with his head in her lap. When he came to his senses, he said, "I am innocent of those, of whom Messenger of Allah ﷺ was innocent. Messenger of Allah ﷺ is innocent of a woman who cries aloud (or slaps her face) who shaves her head and who tear off her clothes (on the falling of a calamity) (Using translation from Bukhārī 1296)
وَجِعَ أَبُو مُوسَى وَجَعًا فَغُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ وَرَأْسُهُ فِي حِجْرِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فَصَاحَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ قَالَ أَنَا بَرِئٌ مِمَّنْ بَرِئَ مِنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَرِئٌ مِنَ السَّالِقَةِ وَالْحَالِقَةِ وَالشَّاقَّةِ
[Machine] That Abu Musa had a fainting spell, so his wife, the daughter of Abu Murrah, cried over him. Then he woke up and said, "I seek refuge with you from what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sought refuge from, from those who shave, scalp, and pierce."
أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَبَكَتْ عَلَيْهِ امْرَأَتُهُ ابْنَةُ أَبِي مُرَّةَ فَأَفَاقَ فَقَالَ أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكِ مِمَّا بَرِئَ مِنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِمَّنْ حَلَقَ وَسَلَقَ وَخَرَقَ
One of the oaths which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ received from us about the virtue was that we would not disobey him in it (virtue): that we would not scratch the face, nor wail, nor tear the front of the garments nor dishevel the hair. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3131)
كَانَ فِيمَا أَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ الَّذِي أَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ لَا نَعْصِيَهُ فِيهِ أَنْ لَا نَخْمِشَ وَجْهًا وَلَا نَدْعُوَ وَيْلًا وَلَا نَشُقَّ جَيْبًا وَلَا نَنْشُرَ شَعْرًا
[Machine] "What did you say to me except that I was told you are like that?"
مَا قُلْتِ لِي شَيْئًا إِلَّا وَقَدْ قِيلَ لِي أَنْتَ كَذَلِكَ؟
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade following a funeral that was accompanied by a wailing woman.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1583)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ تُتْبَعَ جِنَازَةٌ مَعَهَا رَنَّةٌ
