[Machine] Huzaifah, when there was a funeral in his family, nobody would announce it, and he would say, "I am afraid that it may become a eulogy. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbidding eulogies." This is narrated from Ibn Mas'ud, Ibn Umar, Abu Sa'eed, Alqamah, Ibn al-Musayyab, Rabi'ah ibn Khaytham, and Ibrahim al-Nakhai. It has also been reported to me from Malik ibn Anas that he said, "I do not like shouting about a man's death at the doors of the mosques. Even if he stands on the steps of the mosques and people know about his death, there is no harm in that." And it has been reported from Anas ibn Malik that the Prophet ﷺ eulogized Ja'far, Zaid, Ibn Rawaha, and from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ eulogized the Najashi. And from him regarding the death of a man who used to stand in the mosque and was buried at night, "Why didn't you inform me?" And in another narration, "What prevented you from informing me?"  

كَانَ حُذَيْفَةُ إِذَا كَانَتْ فِي أَهْلِهِ جِنَازَةٌ لَمْ يُؤْذِنْ بِهَا أَحَدًا وَيَقُولُ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَعْيًا إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنِ النَّعْيِ وَيُرْوَى فِي ذَلِكَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ ثُمَّ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ وَابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ وَالرَّبِيعِ بْنِ خَيْثَمٍ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيِّ وَبَلَغَنِي عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا أُحِبُّ الصِّيَاحَ لِمَوْتِ الرَّجُلِ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْمَسَاجِدِ وَلَوْ وَقَفَ عَلَى حِلَقِ الْمَسَاجِدِ فَأَعْلَمَ النَّاسِ بِمَوْتِهِ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِهِ بَأْسٌ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَعَى جَعْفَرًا وَزَيْدًا وَابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَعَى النَّجَاشِيَّ وَعَنْهُ فِي مَوْتِ الْإِنْسَانِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقُمُّ الْمَسْجِدَ وَدُفِنَ لَيْلًا أَفَلَا كُنْتُمْ آذَنْتُمُونِي وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ مَا مَنَعَكُمْ أَنْ تُعْلِمُونِي؟  

[Machine] The likeness of Raafidh (a person's name) is like one who will not leave until those around us in the villages are informed and they wake up and go out with his funeral procession.  

إِنَّ مِثْلَ رَافِعٍ لَا يُخْرَجُ بِهِ حَتَّى يُؤْذَنَ بِهِ مَنْ حَوْلِنَا مِنَ الْقُرَى فَأَصْبِحُوا وَاخْرُجُوا بِجِنَازَتِهِ  

[Machine] We used to inform the Prophet (PBUH) whenever one of us passed away, and he would come and seek forgiveness for the deceased until the burial was done. Sometimes he would sit along with us until the burial, and other times he would leave before that. It was burdensome for him, so some people suggested that we should not inform the Prophet (PBUH) until after the burial, so that he wouldn't have to go through the hardship. We followed their suggestion and informed him after the burial, and he would come and pray for the deceased. Sometimes he would leave immediately, and other times he would stay until the burial was done. We continued to do this until today.  

كُنَّا مَقْدِمَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ إِذَا حَضَرَ مِنَّا الْمَيِّتُ آذَنَّا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَحَضَرَهُ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا قُبِضَ انْصَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ حَتَّى يُدْفَنَ وَرُبَّمَا قَعَدَ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ حَتَّى يُدْفَنَ وَرُبَّمَا طَالَ حَبْسُ ذَلِكَ عَلَى نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا خَشِينَا مَشَقَّةَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ لِبَعْضٍ لَوْ كُنَّا لَا نُؤْذِنُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِأَحَدٍ حَتَّى يُقْبَضَ فَإِذَا قُبِضَ آذَنَّاهُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ مَشَقَّةٌ وَلَا حَبْسٌ فَفَعَلْنَا ذَلِكَ فَكُنَّا نُؤْذِنُهُ بِالْمَيِّتِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ فَيَأْتِيَهُ وَيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ وَرُبَّمَا انْصَرَفَ وَرُبَّمَا مَكَثَ حَتَّى يُدْفَنَ الْمَيِّتُ فَكُنَّا عَلَى ذَلِكَ حِينًا ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لَوْ لَمْ نُشْخِصِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَحَمَلْنَا جِنَازَتَنَا إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ بَيْتِهِ لَكَانَ ذَلِكَ أَرْفَقَ بِهِ فَفَعَلْنَا فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الْأَمْرُ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ
