٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] About following the funerals and it has not been determined for us.
عَنِ اتِّبَاعِ الْجَنَائِزِ وَلَمْ يُعْزَمْ عَلَيْنَا
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ went out for a funeral and saw women sitting. He asked, "What keeps you seated?" They replied, "The funeral." He said, "Do you carry the deceased?" They said, "No." He asked, "Do you guide the procession?" They said, "No." He asked, "Do you wash the deceased?" They said, "No." He then said, "Go back, for you are instruments of falsehood and not rewarded. In the narration of Ar-Rudhbari, it is mentioned that they are fabricators of lies." Thereupon, Abu Abdullah Al-Hafith informed us, saying: Abu Al-Abbas narrated to us, who heard from Yahya bin Abi Talib, who heard from Ishaq bin Mansur, who heard from Israel that he mentioned it with his chain of narrators that the Prophet ﷺ passed by some women and asked them, "Why are you waiting?" They replied, "We are waiting for the funeral." However, the mentioning of washing was not mentioned.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ فِي جِنَازَةٍ فَرَأَى نِسْوَةً جُلُوسًا فَقَالَ مَا يُجْلِسُكُنَّ فَقُلْنَ الْجِنَازَةُ فَقَالَ أَتَحْمِلْنَ فِيمَنْ يَحْمِلُ؟ قُلْنَ لَا قَالَ أَفَتُدْلِينَ فِيمَنْ يُدْلِي قُلْنَ لَا قَالَ أَفَتَغْسِلْنَ فِيمَنْ يَغْسِلُ قُلْنَ لَا قَالَ فَارْجِعْنَ مَأْزُورَاتٍ غَيْرَ مَأْجُورَاتٍ وَفِي حَدِيثِ الرُّوذْبَارِيِّ مَوْزُورَاتٍ 7202 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِنِسْوَةٍ فَقَالَ مَا لَكُنَّ قُلْنَ نَنْتَظِرُ الْجِنَازَةَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَتَحْثَيْنَ فِيمَنْ يَحْثُوا قُلْنَ لَا وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْغُسْلَ
[Machine] "Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, he saw his daughter Fatimah and said to her, 'Where are you coming from, Fatimah?' She replied, 'I am coming from behind the funeral of this man.' He asked, 'Did you reach them while they were burying him?' She said, 'No, how could I reach them when I heard from you what I heard?' The Prophet, ﷺ , said, 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, if you had reached them while they were burying him, you would not have seen Paradise until your grandfather had seen it.'"
اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ رَأَى فَاطِمَةَ ابْنَتَهُ ؓ فَقَالَ لَهَا مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلْتِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ؟ فَقَالَتْ أَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ جِنَازَةِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ قَالَ هَلْ بَلَغْتِ مَعَهُمُ الْكُدَى؟ فَقَالَتْ لَا وَكَيْفَ أَبْلُغُهَا وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ مِنْكَ مَا سَمِعْتُ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ بَلَغْتِهَا مَعَهُمْ مَا رَأَيْتِ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى يَرَاهَا جَدُّ أَبِيكَ
