9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] I heard Abu Malik Al-Ghifari say: "The martyrs of Uhud were brought, they were nine in number, and the tenth among them was Hamza. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed over them, then they were carried away. Then another group of nine was brought, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed over them, and Hamza remained in his place until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed over them."
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مَالِكٍ الْغِفَارِيَّ يَقُولُ كَانَ قَتْلَى أُحُدٍ يُؤْتَى بِتِسْعَةٍ وَعَاشِرُهُمْ حَمْزَةُ فَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺثُمَّ يُحْمَلُونَ ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى بِتِسْعَةٍ فَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِمْ وَحَمْزَةُ مَكَانَهُ حَتَّى صَلَّى عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
[Machine] He ﷺ said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said regarding the martyrs of Uhud, they are ten, ten, ten, and among them is Hamza, until seventy prayers are offered for him. This is the most authentic narration in this topic and it is a mutawatir (consecutive) hadith."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺعَلَى قَتْلَى أُحُدٍ عَشَرَةً عَشَرَةً فِي كُلِّ عَشَرَةٍ مِنْهُمْ حَمْزَةُ حَتَّى صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ سَبْعِينَ صَلَاةً هَذَا أَصَحُّ مَا فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ وَهُوَ مُرْسَلٌ
[Machine] When Hamza was killed on the Day of Uhud, Safiyyah came forward seeking him, not knowing what had happened. She met Ali and Zubair, and Ali said to Zubair, "Tell your mother." Zubair replied, "No, you tell your aunt." Ali then said, "What did Hamza do? So that they thought they didn't know." The Prophet ﷺ came and said, "I fear for her sanity." He placed his hand on her chest and prayed for her. She regained her senses and began to cry. Then the Prophet ﷺ came and stood by her and said, "If it wasn't for the lamentation of the women, I would have left him until he was devoured from the bellies of wild animals and the beaks of birds." Then he ordered the martyrs to be brought forth and prayed over them. Nine bodies were laid out and Hamza was left separately. He made seven takbirs over them and they were lifted, leaving Hamza. Then nine more bodies were brought and he made seven takbirs over them until he finished with them. I only remember this from the hadith of Abu Bakr ibn Ayyash from Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad, and they were not reliable narrators.
لَمَّا قُتِلَ حَمْزَةُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ أَقْبَلَتْ صَفِيَّةُ تَطْلُبُهُ لَا تَدْرِي مَا صَنَعَ فَلَقِيَتْ عَلِيًّا وَالزُّبَيْرَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لِلزُّبَيْرِ اذْكُرْ لِأُمِّكَ فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ لَا بَلْ أَنْتَ اذْكُرْ لِعَمَّتِكَ قَالَ فَقَالَتْ مَا فَعَلَ حَمْزَةُ فَأَرَيَاهَا أَنَّهُمَا لَا يَدْرِيَانِ قَالَ فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺفَقَالَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَى عَقْلِهَا فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى صَدْرِهَا وَدَعَا لَهَا قَالَ فَاسْتَرْجَعَتْ وَبَكَتْ قَالَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَامَ عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَوْلَا جَزَعُ النِّسَاءِ لَتَرَكْتُهُ حَتَّى يُحْشَرَ مِنْ بُطُونِ السِّبَاعِ وَحَواصِلِ الطَّيْرِ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِالْقَتْلَى فَجَعَلَ يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِمْ فَيُوضَعُ تِسْعَةٌ وَحَمْزَةُ فَيُكَبِّرُ عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ وَيُرْفَعُونَ وَيُتْرَكُ حَمْزَةُ ثُمَّ يُجَاءُ بِتِسْعَةٍ فَيُكَبِّرُ عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعًا حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْهُمْ لَا أَحْفَظُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ وَكَانَا غَيْرَ حَافِظَيْنِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for Hamza and said Allahu Akbar nine times. This is more appropriate for him to be protected while he is cut off.
صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى حَمْزَةَ فَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهِ تِسْعًا هَذَا أَوْلَى أَنْ يَكُونَ مَحْفُوظًا وَهُوَ مُنْقَطِعٌ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for Hamzah and recited seven takbeerat over him, and he did not pray for any slain person except alongside him until he prayed for him seventy-two prayers. This narration is weak, and Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn Yasir, if he does not mention the name of the one who narrated from him, he is not pleased with it. Al-Hasan ibn 'Umarah narrated it from Al-Hakam, who narrated it from Muqsim, who narrated it from Ibn Abbas, that the Prophet ﷺ prayed for the martyrs of Uhud. And Al-Hasan ibn 'Umarah is weak, his narration cannot be relied upon.
صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺعَلَى حَمْزَةَ فَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهِ سَبْعَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ وَلَمْ يُؤْتَ بِقَتِيلٍ إِلَّا صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ مَعَهُ حَتَّى صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ صَلَاةً وَهَذَا ضَعِيفٌ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ إِذَا لَمْ يَذْكُرِ اسْمَ مَنْ حَدَّثَ عَنْهُ لَمْ يُفْرَحْ بِهِ وَرَوَاهُ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺصَلَّى عَلَى قَتْلَى أُحُدٍ وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ ضَعِيفٌ لَا يُحْتَجُّ بِرِوَايَتِهِ
‘Go to Jarīr bin Hāzim and say to him, ‘It is not allowed for you to transmit from al-Hasan bin Umārah for indeed he lies’.’ Abū Dāwud said, I said to Shu’bah: ‘And how do you know that?’ So [Shu’bah] said: ‘He narrated to us on authority of al-Hakam things that were not found to have any basis’. [Abū Dāwud] said: ‘What things?’ [Shu’bah] said, I said to al-Hakam: ‘Did the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah upon him, pray over the martyrs of Uhud?’ [al-Hakam] said: ‘He did not pray over them’. Al-Hasan bin Umārah said, on authority of al-Hakam, on authority of Miqsam, on authority of Ibn Abbās: ‘Indeed the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah upon him, prayed over them and buried them ’. I [Shu’bah] said to al-Hakam: ‘What do you say about the children born from fornication?’ [Al-Hakam] said: ‘Pray over them ’. I [Shu’bah] said: ‘From whose Ḥadīth is it transmitted?’ [Al-Hakam] said: ‘It is transmitted on authority of al-Hasan al-Basrī’.’ Al-Hasan bin Umārah said: ‘Al-Hakam narrated to us, on authority of Yahyā bin al-Jazzār, on authority of Alī. (Using translation from Muslim i071)
عَنِ الْحَكَمِ أَشْيَاءَ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ لَهَا أَصْلًا قُلْتُ لِلْحَكَمِ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺعَلَى قَتْلَى أُحُدٍ؟ قَالَ لَا وَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَكَمُ عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺصَلَّى عَلَى قَتْلَى أُحُدٍ وَقَالَ قُلْتُ لِلْحَكَمِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي أَوْلَادِ الزِّنَا؟ قَالَ يُعْتَقُونَ قَالَ قُلْتُ عَمَّنْ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ يُرْوَى مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْبَصْرِيِّينَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ قَالَ وَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَكَمُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْجَزَّارِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ أَنَّهُمْ يُعْتَقُونَ
