9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "No Muslim person will have three children who die, without the fire touching them, except for the necklace of determination."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَمُوتُ لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَتَمَسَّهُ النَّارُ إِلَّا تَحِلَّةَ الْقَسَمِ
[Machine] We gathered and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and taught us from what Allah had taught him. Then he said, "Any woman who has three children before her will have a veiling from the Fire (of Hell)." A woman said, "O Messenger of Allah, what about two (children)?" He said, "Even two."
اجْتَمَعْنَ فَأَتَاهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَلَّمَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَهُ اللهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا مِنْكُنَّ مِنَ امْرَأَةٍ تُقَدِّمُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا مِنْ وَلَدِهَا ثَلَاثَةً إِلَّا كَانُوا لَهَا حِجَابًا مِنَ النَّارِ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاثْنَيْنِ قَالَ وَاثْنَيْنِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever is afflicted with children, whether they number two or three, who have not yet reached the age of puberty, then he should consider them as a protection for himself against the Hellfire."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أُصِيبَ لَهُ وَلَدَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٌ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ فَاحْتَسَبَهُمْ كَانُوا لَهُ سِتْرًا مِنَ النَّارِ
In case anyone amongst you sees the sad demise of three children of (hers) and she resigns herself to the will of God hoping to get reward, she would be admitted to Paradise. A woman from amongst them said: Messenger of Allah, even if they (the children who die) are two. Thereupon, he (the Holy Prophet, ) said: Even if they are two. (Using translation from Muslim 2632c)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِنِسْوَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَا يَمُوتُ لِإِحْدَاكُنَّ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَتَحْتَسِبَهُمْ إِلَّا دَخَلَتِ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Any Muslim who is not reached by three things will enter Paradise by the mercy of Allah: reaching the age of maturity, hearing the call to prayer, and performing Hajj."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُتَوَفَّى لَهُ ثَلَاثَةٌ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ 7140 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ أَخْبَرَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمَعْنِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ
[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have buried three of my children." He replied, "You have surely saved them from intense heat of the fire."
أَتَتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ دَفَنْتُ ثَلَاثَةً مِنْ وَلَدِي فَقَالَ لَقَدِ احْتَظَرْتِ بِحِظَارٍ شَدِيدٍ مِنَ النَّارِ
[Machine] I asked Abu Hurairah, "Both of my sons have died. Are you aware of any hadith from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that can bring comfort to us from our deaths?" He replied, "Yes, indeed. Their young ones are the little ones of paradise. One of them meets his parents or his father, and he takes hold of his hand just as I am holding a part of your robe. He does not let go until Allah and he enter paradise together." And Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us that Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Hatim Al-Darbardy narrated to us from Marw regarding Abu Al-Muthanna Al-Anbari, who narrated from Musaddad, who narrated from Yahya, who mentioned this hadith except that he said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Their young ones are the little ones of paradise.'"
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ مَاتَ لِيَ ابْنَانِ فَهَلْ أَنْتَ مُحَدِّثِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِحَدِيثٍ تُطَيِّبُ بِهِ أَنْفُسَنَا عَنْ مَوْتَانَا قَالَ نَعَمْ صِغَارُهُمْ دَعَامِيصُ الْجَنَّةِ يَلْقَى أَحَدُهُمْ أَبَوَيْهِ أَوْ أَبَاهُ فَيَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهِ كَمَا آخُذُ أَنَا بِصَنِفَةِ ثَوْبِكَ هَكَذَا فَلَا يَنْتَهِي حَتَّى يُدْخِلَهُ اللهُ وَإِيَّاهُ الْجَنَّةَ 7143 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ الدَّارَبَرْدِيُّ بِمَروٍ ثنا أَبُو الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ ثنا يَحْيَى عَنِ التَّيْمِيِّ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صِغَارُهُمْ دَعَامِيصُ الْجَنَّةِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no Muslim person who has three children that have not reached the age of puberty, except that Allah will admit them and their parents to Paradise by His mercy. They will be at one of the gates of Paradise, and it will be said to them, 'Enter Paradise.' They will say, 'Not until our parents come.' Then it will be said to them, 'Enter Paradise, you and your parents, by the mercy of Allah.' There are many narrations about this gate, and what we have mentioned is sufficient."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ لَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُمُ اللهُ وَأَبَوَيْهِمُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ قَالَ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَى بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُمُ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُونَ حَتَّى يَجِئَ أَبَوَانَا فَيُقَالُ لَهُمُ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ أَنْتُمْ وَأَبَوَاكُمْ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَةِ اللهِ وَالْأَخْبَارُ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ كَثِيرَةٌ وَفِيمَا ذَكَرْنَا كِفَايَةٌ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What do you consider to be arrogance among you?" They said, "It is the one who does not have children." He said, "That is not arrogance, but rather it is the man who does not give anything to his children." He said, "Then what do you consider stubbornness among you?" They said, "It is the one who cannot be conquered by men." He said, "No, that is not it, but rather it is the one who controls himself when he is angry." This is the narration of Jarir. And in the narration of Abu Mu'awiyah, there is mention of precedence and delay. He said, firstly, "What do you consider stubbornness among you?" They said, "It is the one who cannot be conquered by men." He said, "No, but stubbornness is the one who controls himself when he is angry." And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ also said, "What do you consider arrogance among you?" They said, "Arrogance is the one who does not have children." He said, "No, but arrogance is the one who does not give anything to his children."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا تَعُدُّونَ الرَّقُوبُ فِيكُمْ قَالُوا هُوَ الَّذِي لَا يُولَدُ لَهُ قَالَ لَيْسَ ذَاكَ بِالرَّقُوبِ وَلَكِنَّهُ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي لَمْ يُقَدِّمْ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ فَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الصُّرَعَةَ فِيكُمْ؟ قَالُوا الَّذِي لَا تَصْرَعُهُ الرِّجَالُ قَالَ لَيْسَ بِذَاكَ وَلَكِنَّهُ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ جَرِيرٍ وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ تَقْدِيمٌ وَتَأْخِيرٌ قَالَ أَوَّلًا مَا تَعُدُّونَ فِيكُمُ الصُّرَعَةَ قَالُوا الَّذِي لَا تَصْرَعُهُ الرِّجَالُ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّ الصُّرَعَةَ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ قَالَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا تَعُدُّونَ فِيكُمُ الرَّقُوبَ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا الرَّقُوبُ الَّذِي لَا يُولَدُ لَهُ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّ الرَّقُوبَ الَّذِي لَمْ يُقَّدِمْ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ شَيْئًا
[Machine] I buried my son Sinan and Abu Talhah Al-Khawlani was sitting on the edge of the grave. He said, "Al-Dhahak ibn Abd al-Rahman told me that Abu Musa said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, When Allah takes the soul of His servant, He asks His angels, What did my servant say?' They say, 'He praised You and sought forgiveness from You.' Allah says, 'Build for him a house in Jannah and name it the House of Praise.'"
دَفَنْتُ ابْنِي سِنَانًا وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ جَالِسٌ عَلَى شَفِيرِ الْقَبْرِ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَبَضَ اللهُ ابْنَ الْعَبْدِ قَالَ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ مَا قَالَ عَبْدِي؟ قَالُوا حَمِدَكَ وَاسْتَرْجَعَ قَالَ ابْنُوا لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَسَمُّوهُ بَيْتَ الْحَمْدِ
[Machine] Allah ﷺ says: 'Whoever has two qualities from my Ummah, Allah will admit him to Jannah.' Aisha said, 'Even if it is only one, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Even if it is only one, O successful one.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'As for those who do not possess one of the qualities, I and whoever does not possess one of the qualities and is not afflicted with the same as I am, will not be safe.' And Imam Abu At-Tayyib Sahl ibn Muhammad ibn Sulayman, may Allah have mercy on him, told us that Abu Al-Hasan Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Ali Ad-Daqqaq informed us that Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Al-Abdi narrated to us from Isa ibn Ibrahim Al-Barqi, who narrated it from Abdul-Rabbih Bariqi Al-Hanafi, who mentioned it with its meaning.
اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ فَرَطَانِ مِنَ أُمَّتِي أَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ وَوَاحِدَةٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ وَوَاحِدَةٌ يَا مُوَفَّقَةُ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي فَرَطٌ فَأَنَا فَرَطُ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ فَرَطٌ لَمْ يُصَابُوا بِمِثْلِي 7148 وَحَدَّثَنَا الْإِمَامُ أَبُو الطِّيِّبِ سَهْلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الدَّقَاقُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَبْدِيُّ ثنا عِيسَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْبِرَكِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ بَارِقٌ الْحَنَفِيُّ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ
