9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Hurry with the funeral procession. If it is righteous, then you advance it. And if it is otherwise, then you remove it from your necks."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺقَالَ أَسْرِعُوا بِالْجِنَازَةِ فَإِنْ تَكُ صَالِحَةً فَخَيْرٌ تُقَدِّمُونَهَا إِلَيْهِ وَإِنْ تَكُنْ سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَشَرٌّ تَضَعُونَهُ عَنْ رِقَابِكُمْ
[Machine] "Do not strike my grave with pebbles, and do not follow me with a torch. Rush to me, rush to me, for I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'When a believer is placed on his bed, he says: Bring me forward, bring me forward.' And when a disbeliever is placed on his bed, he says: O woe to me! Where are you taking me?""
أَنْ لَا تَضْرِبُوا عَلَى قَبْرِي فُسْطَاطًا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُونِي بِمِجْمَرٍ وَأَسْرِعُوا بِي أَسْرِعُوا بِي فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺيَقُولُ إِذَا وُضِعَ الْمُؤْمِنُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ يَقُولُ قَدِّمُونِي قَدِّمُونِي وَإِذَا وُضِعَ الْكَافِرُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ قَالَ يَا وَيلَتَاهُ أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ بِي
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When the funeral is ready (for its burial) and the people lift it on their shoulders, then if the deceased is a righteous person he says, 'Take me ahead,' and if he is not a righteous one then he says, 'Woe to it (me)! Where are you taking it (me)?' And his voice is audible to everything except human beings; and if they heard it they would fall down unconscious . " (Using translation from Bukhārī 1380)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺإِذَا وُضِعَتِ الْجِنَازَةُ فَحَمَلَهَا الرِّجَالُ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِهِمْ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ صَالِحَةً قَالَتْ قَدِّمُونِي قَدِّمُونِي وَإِنْ كَانَتْ غَيْرَ صَالِحَةٍ قَالَتْ يَا وَيْلَتَاهُ أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ بِهَا يَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا الْإِنْسَانَ وَلَوْ سَمِعَهَا الْإِنْسَانُ صُعِقَ
[Machine] "Abu Bakrah caught up with them on part of the Mirbad road, so he loaded the camel with their belongings, tightened the reins on them, and said, 'Leave, by the One whose face my father Al-Qasim has honored! By Allah, I have seen us during the time of the Messenger of Allah almost drowning in sand.' And likewise..."
فَلَحِقَهُمْ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ فِي بَعْضِ سِكَّةِ الْمِرْبَدِ فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْبَغْلَةَ وَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالسَّوْطِ وَقَالَ خَلُّوا وَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَ وَجْهَ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ ﷺلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺلَنَكَادُ أَنْ نَرْمُلَ بِهَا رَمَلًا وَكَذَلِكَ
[Machine] I saw us with the Prophet of Allah, may ﷺ , collecting sand.
لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺنَرْمُلُ رَمَلًا
[Machine] To them, when you carry me, hurry with me, hurry with me.
لَهُمَا إِذَا حَمَلْتُمْ فَأَسْرِعُوا بِي أَسْرِعُوا بِي
