9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is better for one of you to sit on a hot coal or on fire until it burns his clothes, than to sit upon a grave." In another narration by Ali, it is stated, "It is better for one of you to sit on a hot coal until it reaches his skin, than to sit upon a grave."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَأَنْ يَجْلِسَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى جَمْرَةٍ أَوْ عَلَى نَارٍ فَتُحْرِقُ ثِيَابَهُ حَتَّى تَخْلُصَ إِلَيْهِ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ عَلَى قَبْرٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ لَأَنْ يَجْلِسَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى جَمْرَةٍ فَتُحْرِقَ ثِيَابَهُ حَتَّى تَصِلَ إِلَى جِلْدِهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ عَلَى قَبْرٍ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Do not sit on graves and do not pray towards them, for their words are equal, except that Ibn Mazid narrated from Wathilah ibn Al-Asqa’, who said: Abu Marthad Al-Ghanawi narrated to me..."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا تَجْلِسُوا عَلَى الْقُبُورِ وَلَا تُصَلُّوا إِلَيْهَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِهِمَا سَوَاءٌ إِلَّا أَنَّ فِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ مَزْيَدَ عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مَرْثَدٍ الْغَنَوِيُّ
