9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] By Allah, we didn't know about burying the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , until we heard the sound of the gravedigger on Wednesday night.
وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا بِدَفْنِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى سَمِعْنَا صَوْتَ الْمَسَاحِي فِي جَوْفِ لَيْلَةِ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell ill with the illness that he passed away in. Fatima supported him against her chest and he was overwhelmed by grief. She said, "Oh, my dear father, how great is your grief." He replied, "Your father will no longer experience grief after today." When he passed away and was buried, Fatima said to me, "O Anas, it pleases you that you do not walk upon the grave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Hammad said, "Indeed, it was preserved that you do not walk upon the grave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."
مَرِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَضَهُ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ أَسْنَدَتْهُ فَاطِمَةُ ؓ إِلَى صَدْرِهَا فَجَعَلَ يَتَغَشَّاهُ الْكَرْبُ فَقَالَتْ وَاكَرْبَ أَبَتَاهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَى أَبِيكِ كَرْبٌ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمُ فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ وَدُفِنَ قَالَتْ لِي فَاطِمَةُ يَا أَنَسُ أَطَابَتْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ أَنْ تَحْثُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ إِنَّمَا حُفِظَ أَطَابَتْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ أَنْ تَحْثُوا
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spat three times in a grave. Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Muhammad informed us that Abu al-Husayn Al-Fasawi narrated to him, and Abu Ali Al-Luluy narrated to him, and Abu Dawud mentioned it.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حَثَا فِي قَبْرٍ ثَلَاثًا أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أنبأ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ الْفَسَوِيُّ ثنا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ اللُّؤْلُؤِيُّ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ فَذَكَرَهُ
[Machine] I saw the Prophet ﷺ when he buried Uthman ibn Mazh'un. He prayed and prayed four takbeers and then made three handfuls of soil from the earth while standing on the grave. The chain of narration is weak, except that there is a witness from Ja'far ibn Muhammad narrating from his father, who narrates from the Prophet ﷺ in a mursal (incomplete chain) narration. It is also narrated from Abu Huraira, elevated. And Allah knows best.
رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ حِينَ دَفَنَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ مَظْعُونٍ ؓ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعًا وَحَثَا بِيَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ حَثَيَاتٍ مِنَ التُّرَابِ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ إِسْنَادُهُ ضَعِيفٌ إِلَّا أَنَّ لَهُ شَاهِدًا مِنْ جِهَةِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُرْسَلًا وَيُرْوَى عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ مَرْفُوعًا وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
[Machine] A man died and did not have any good deeds, except for three small mounds (of dirt) that were placed on his grave. Because of this, his sins were forgiven. And this is a reliable narration in this matter.
تُوُفِّيَ رَجُلٌ فَلَمْ تَصُبْ لَهُ حَسَنَةٌ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَ حَثَيَاتٍ حَثَاهَا فِي قَبْرٍ فَغُفِرَتْ لَهُ ذُنُوبُهُ وَهَذَا مَوْقُوفٌ حَسَنٌ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ
ثُمَّ حَثَا فِي قَبْرِهِ التُّرَابَ
[Machine] He saw Ali in the grave of Ibn Mukaffaf wearing two or three garments.
أَنَّهُ رَأَى عَلِيًّا ؓ فِي قَبْرِ ابْنِ مُكَفِّفٍ حَثَا ثِنْتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا
[Machine] And by Allah, Ibn Abbas was buried with much knowledge.
وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ دُفِنَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ كَثِيرٌ
