[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ prayed on the grave of a woman and recited the Takbir four times, thus.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى عَلَى قَبْرِ امْرَأَةٍ فَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا كَذَا  

[Machine] I saw him and he recited the funeral prayer for four, then he stood for an hour, meaning that he was supplicating. Then he said, "Do you see me raising my hands four times?" They said, "No." He said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to raise his hands four times." And it was also narrated by Ibrahim Al-Hajari from Ibn Abi Awfa with the same meaning, except that he said, "They said, 'We have seen that.'" He said, "I would not have done so if the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not do it. He used to raise his hands four times, then he would stay however long Allah willed." Abu Abdullah Al-Hafith narrated to us, Abu Al-Abbas reported to us, Muhammad ibn Ishaq reported, Ja'far ibn Awn reported, Ibrahim Al-Hajari mentioned it in a story he mentioned from Ibn Abi Awfa.  

شَهِدْتُهُ وَكَبَّرَ عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ أَرْبَعًا ثُمَّ قَامَ سَاعَةً يَعْنِي يَدْعُو ثُمَّ قَالَ أَتَرَوْنِي كُنْتُ أُكَبِّرُ خَمْسًا؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُكَبِّرُ أَرْبَعًا 6938 وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْهَجَرِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى بِمَعْنَاهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالُوا قَدْ رَأَيْنَا ذَلِكَ قَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَفْعَلَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُكَبِّرُ أَرْبَعًا ثُمَّ يَمْكُثُ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أنبأ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ أنبأ إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْهَجَرِيُّ فَذَكَرَهُ فِي قِصَّةٍ ذَكَرَهَا عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , the angels prayed upon Adam and glorified him four times. They said, "This is your tradition, O children of Adam." It is also reported by Uthman ibn Sa'd with a continuous chain of narration from Ubayy ibn Ka'b.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ صَلَّتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى آدَمَ فَكَبَّرَتْ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعًا وَقَالَتْ هَذِهِ سُنَّتُكُمْ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ وَقِيلَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ مَوْقُوفًا عَلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ  

“Offer the funeral prayer for your dead by night or by day.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1522)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ صَلُّوا عَلَى مَوْتَاكُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ أَرْبَعَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ سَوَاءً  

[Machine] "Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ magnified it five times."  

إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَبَّرَهَا خَمْسًا  

[Machine] About Ali....  

عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ  

[Machine] Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, performed the funeral prayer over Abu Qatadah and he repeated the Takbeer (saying "Allahu Akbar") for him seven times. This narration has been reported inaccurately because Abu Qatadah lived for a long time after Ali. We have been narrated from Ali that he repeated the Takbeer four times over Yazid bin Al-Mukaffaf.  

أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ؓ صَلَّى عَلَى أَبِي قَتَادَةَ فَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهِ سَبْعًا وَكَانَ بَدْرِيًّا هَكَذَا رُوِيَ وَهُوَ غَلَطٌ لِأَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ ؓ بَقِيَ بَعْدَ عَلِيٍّ ؓ مُدَّةً طَوِيلَةً وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ أَنَّهُ كَبَّرَ عَلَى يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْمُكَفَّفِ أَرْبَعًا  

[Machine] He used to pray six takbeers for the people of Badr, five for the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ , and four for the rest of the people.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُكَبِّرُ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ سِتًّا وَعَلَى أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ خَمْسًا وَعَلَى سَائِرِ النَّاسِ أَرْبَعًا  

[Machine] I said to Ibn Mas'ud, "Indeed, the companions of Mu'adh have come from Sham and they have recited the takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) five times over the deceased." So Ibn Mas'ud replied, "There is no specific time for reciting the takbeer over the deceased like the imam recites. So when the imam departs, then you may depart."  

قُلْتُ لِابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ مُعَاذٍ قَدِمُوا مِنَ الشَّامِ فَكَبَّرُوا عَلَى مَيِّتٍ لَهُمْ خَمْسًا فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ لَيْسَ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ مِنَ التَّكْبِيرِ وَقْتَ كَبَّرَ مَا كَبَّرَ الْإِمَامُ فَإِذَا انْصَرَفَ الْإِمَامُ فَانْصَرِفْ  

[Machine] All of that has been forty-five, so we gathered on four in the takbeer during the funeral.  

كُلُّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ كَانَ أَرْبَعًا وَخَمْسًا فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ فِي التَّكْبِيرِ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ  

[Machine] They used to say takbeer (saying "Allahu Akbar") seven, five, and six times during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or they said four times. Umar ibn al-Khattab then gathered the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and each man informed them of what he had seen. Umar then gathered them together for the funeral prayer and they said four takbeers as long as the prayer. This was narrated by Waki' from Sufyan who said it was four instead of six. And in the narration of Waki' from Mis'ar, from Abdul Malik ibn Iyas ash-Shaybani, from Ibrahim who said: The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered in the house of Abu Mas'ood al-Ansari and they agreed that there should be four takbeers for the funeral prayer.  

كَانُوا يُكَبِّرُونَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعًا وَخَمْسًا وَسِتًّا أَوْ قَالَ أَرْبَعًا فَجَمَعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ بِمَا رَأَى فَجَمَعَهُمْ عُمَرُ ؓ عَلَى أَرْبَعِ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ كَأَطْوَلِ الصَّلَاةِ وَرَوَاهُ وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ أَرْبَعًا مَكَانَ سِتًّا وَفِيمَا رَوَى وَكِيعٌ عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ اجْتَمَعَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ فَأَجْمَعُوا أَنَّ التَّكْبِيرَ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ أَرْبَعٌ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ prayed the funeral prayer for her, raised his hands four times during the prayer, and Abdullah ibn Abdurrahman Abu Umar Al-Khazzaz narrated it from Ikrimah, who is weak. This wording has been transmitted from other narrators, all of whom are weak, except that the gathering of most of the companions on four is evidence of that. And Allah knows best.  

جِنَازَةٍ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَبَّرَ عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعًا تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ النَّضْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو عُمَرَ الْخَزَّازُ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا اللَّفْظُ مِنْ وُجُوهٍ أُخَرَ كُلُّهَا ضَعِيفَةٌ إِلَّا أَنَّ اجْتِمَاعَ أَكْثَرِ الصَّحَابَةِ ؓ عَلَى الْأَرْبَعِ كَالدَّلِيلِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] I prayed with Umar and Ali over the grave of Zainab, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ . Umar then recited the takbeer four times and sent a message to the wives of the Prophet ﷺ , asking who among them would enter her grave. Umar was amazed at the idea of entering her grave, so we sent to him saying that whoever saw her in her lifetime should enter her grave. He said: "We have spoken the truth."  

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ ؓ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَنْ يُدْخِلُهَا قَبْرَهَا وَكَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ يُعْجِبُهُ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهَا قَبْرَهَا فَأَرْسَلْنَ إِلَيْهِ ؓنَّ يُدْخِلُهَا قَبْرَهَا مَنْ كَانَ يَرَاهَا فِي حَيَاتِهَا قَالَ صَدَقْنَ  

[Machine] "Oh Allah, your servant and the son of your servant has come to you. You are the best of those who receive guests. Oh Allah, make his entrance spacious for him and forgive his sin, for we only know goodness about him, and You know about him more than we do."  

اللهُمَّ عَبْدُكَ وَوَلَدُ عَبْدِكَ نَزَلَ بِكَ وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْزُولٍ بِهِ اللهُمَّ وَسِّعْ لَهُ مُدْخَلَهُ وَاغْفِرْ لَهُ ذَنْبَهُ فَإِنَّا لَا نَعْلَمُ بِهِ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَأَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ  

[Machine] He showed respect to his mother for forty years and never resented her kindness.  

أَنَّهُ كَبَّرَ عَلَى أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعًا وَمَا حَسَدَهَا خَيْرًا  

[Machine] Four companions of the Prophet: Abdullah ibn Mas'ood, Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib, Abu Huraira, and 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir.  

كَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَالْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَعُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to raise his hands when praying for a deceased person during the first takbeer, then he would place his right hand over his left hand.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فِي أَوَّلِ التَّكْبِيرِ ثُمَّ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى  

[Machine] And he said in the narration, so he recited the opening chapter of the book and a chapter, and the mention of the chapter in it is not preserved.  

وَقَالَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ فَقَرَأَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ وَذِكْرُ السُّورَةِ فِيهِ غَيْرُ مَحْفُوظٍ  

[Machine] About Muhammad ibn Kathir  

عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ  

[Machine] A sunnah and it did not mention a right.  

سُنَّةٌ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ حَقٌّ  

I offered the funeral prayer behind Ibn ʿAbbas and he recited Al-Fatiha and said, "You should know that it (i.e. recitation of Al-Fatiha) is the tradition of the Prophet ﷺ Muhammad. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1335)   

أَنَّهَا سُنَّةٌ  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ recited Surah Al-Fatiha after the first takbeer and then recited four takbeers for the deceased."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَبَّرَ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ أَرْبَعًا وَقَرَأَ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ بَعْدَ التَّكْبِيرَةِ الْأُولَى  

[Machine] He was informed by a man from the companions of the Prophet that the sunnah (practice) in the funeral prayer is for the Imam to start by saying takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) loudly, then quietly recite Surat Al-Fatiha after the first takbeer, silently within himself. Then he should send blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , and make a sincere supplication for the deceased during the remaining takbeers. He should not recite anything else during them. Finally, he should silently say tasleem (saying Assalamu Alaykum) within himself. 6960 He said, and Mutarrif ibn Mazen narrated from Ma'mar, who narrated from Al-Zuhri, who said: Muhammad Al-Fihri narrated to me from Dahhak ibn Qays that he said the same as Abu Umamah and so on.  

أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ السُّنَّةَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ أَنْ يُكَبِّرَ الْإِمَامُ ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ بَعْدَ التَّكْبِيرَةِ الْأُولَى سِرًّا فِي نَفْسِهِ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَيُخْلِصُ الدُّعَاءَ لِلْجِنَازَةِ فِي التَّكْبِيرَاتِ لَا يَقْرَأُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْهُنَّ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ سِرًّا فِي نَفْسِهِ 6960 قَالَ وَأنبأ مُطَرِّفُ بْنُ مَازِنٍ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ الْفِهْرِيُّ عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ وَهَكَذَا  

[Machine] He heard the one behind him, and then he continued his takbeer until there was one takbeer left. He then bore witness to the prayer and made the final takbeer, then he departed. We were informed by Ibn Mas'ood and Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'Aas about the recitation of Al-Fatiha in the funeral prayer.  

أَسْمَعَ مَنْ خَلْفَهُ ثُمَّ تَابَعَ تَكْبِيرَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَقِيَتْ تَكْبِيرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ تَشَهَّدَ تَشَهُّدَ الصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَانْصَرَفَ وَرُوِّينَا عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ فِي قِرَاءَةِ الْفَاتِحَةِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْجِنَازَةِ  

[Machine] Abu Umamah ibn Sahl ibn Haneef, who was one of the prominent Ansar and their scholars, and he was one of the children of those who witnessed the Battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , informed me. Men from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ informed him that in the funeral prayer, the imam should say the takbeer, then pray upon the Prophet ﷺ , and then complete the prayer with the three takbeers, and then offer a light salutation when leaving. And the Sunnah is for the person behind him to do the same as his imam. Al-Zuhri said: Abu Umamah informed me of that, and Ibn Al-Musayyib heard it and did not object to it. Ibn Shihab said: So I mentioned to Muhammad ibn Suwayd what Abu Umamah had told me about the Sunnah in the funeral prayer, and he said: I also heard it from Dahhak ibn Qais, who narrated it from Habib ibn Muslimah in a prayer he offered for the deceased, similar to the one Abu Umamah informed us of.  

أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ وَكَانَ مِنْ كُبَرَاءِ الْأَنْصَارِ وَعُلَمَائِهِمْ وَمِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الَّذِينَ شَهِدُوا بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَخْبَرَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ أَنْ يُكَبِّرَ الْإِمَامُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَيُخْلِصُ الصَّلَاةَ فِي التَّكْبِيرَاتِ الثَّلَاثِ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ تَسْلِيمًا خَفِيفًا حِينَ يَنْصَرِفُ وَالسُّنَّةُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ مَنْ وَرَاءَهُ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلَ إِمَامُهُ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي بِذَلِكَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ وَابْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ يَسْمَعُ فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَذَكَرْتُ الَّذِي أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ فَقَالَ وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ الضَّحَّاكَ ابْنَ قَيْسٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ فِي صَلَاةٍ صَلَّاهَا عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُمَامَةَ  

[Machine] I swear to God, I inform you that you should begin by saying "Allahu Akbar" (God is the greatest), then send blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ and say, "O Allah, indeed your servant so and so did not associate anything with you that you are the most knowledgeable of. If he was righteous, increase him in his righteousness, and if he was sinful, forgive him. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward and do not lead us astray after him."  

أَنَا وَاللهِ أُخْبِرُكَ تَبْدَأُ فَتُكَبِّرُ ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَتَقُولُ اللهُمَّ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ فُلَانًا كَانَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِكَ شَيْئًا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ إِنْ كَانَ مُحْسِنًا فَزِدْ فِي إِحْسَانِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُسِيئًا فَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْهُ اللهُمَّ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ وَلَا تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَهُ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: When you pray over the dead, make a sincere supplication for him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3199)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُمْ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ فَأَخْلِصُوا لَهُ الدُّعَاءَ  

[Machine] I heard Awf ibn Malik say, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed over a funeral, and I memorized part of his supplication. He said, 'O Allah, forgive him, have mercy on him, heal him, pardon him, honor his abode, widen his entrance, cleanse him with water, snow, and hail, purify him from sins as a white garment is purified from filth, replace his home with a better home, his family with a better family, his spouse with a better spouse, enter him into Paradise, and protect him from the punishment of the grave and the Fire.' I wished that I was the deceased person." And Abu al-Hasan informed us that Ahmad ibn Salman narrated that Muhammad ibn Ismail narrated that Abu Salih informed him that Muawiyah ibn Salih narrated from Abdul Rahman ibn Jubayr ibn Nufair from his father from Awf, from the Prophet ﷺ , a similar narration. And Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us that Ismail ibn Ahmad al-Jurjani narrated that Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Qutaybah narrated that Harmala narrated that Ibn Wahb informed him that Muawiyah ibn Salih mentioned the hadith with both chains of narration.  

سَمِعْتُ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ فَحَفِظْتُ مِنْ دُعَائِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ عَلَيْهِ مُدْخَلَهُ وَاغْسِلْهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ وَأَهْلًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَزَوْجَةً خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجَتِهِ وَأَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعِذْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَمِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ حَتَّى تَمَنَّيْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا ذَلِكَ الْمَيِّتَ 6966 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ثنا أَبُو صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَوْفٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ 6967 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْجُرْجَانِيُّ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ ثنا حَرْمَلَةُ ثنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِالْإِسْنَادَيْنِ جَمِيعًا  

I heard the Prophet ﷺ say (while offering prayer on a dead body): O Allah! forgive him, have mercy upon him. Give him peace and absolve him. Receive him with honour and make his grave spacious. Wash him with water, snow and hail, cleanse him from faults as is cleaned a white garment from impurity. Requite him with an abode more excellent than his abode, with a family better than his family, and with a mate better than his mate, and save him from the trial of the grave and torment of Hell. 'Auf b. Malik said: I earnestly desired that I were the dead person to receive the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as this dead body had (received). (Using translation from Muslim 963d)   

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ فَفَهِمْتُ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ عَلَيْهِ مُدْخَلَهُ وَاغْسِلْهُ بِمَاءِ بَرَدٍ أَوْ ثَلْجٍ وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ اللهُمَّ أَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ وَزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجِهِ وَأَهْلًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَقِهِ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابَ النَّارِ قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَتَمَنَّيْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا الْمَيِّتَ  

[Machine] He said that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying for the deceased, saying, "O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, our present and our absent, our males and our females, our young and our old." Al-Awzaa'i said, "Yahya ibn Abi Kathir narrated to me from Abu Salamah ibn Abdur-Rahman with this hadith, and he said, 'Whoever you give life to from among us, give them life upon Islam, and whoever you cause to die from among us, cause them to die upon faith.'" 6970 Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz and Abu Abdullah As-Susi both reported that Abu Abbas (who is also known as Al-Asamm) narrated to us from Sa'id ibn Uthman At-Tanukhi from Bishr ibn Bakr that he said, "Al-Awzaa'i mentioned this hadith with both chains of narration, except that he said in the beginning, 'O Allah, forgive him, us, and our last, our living and our dead.' This is the authentic hadith of Abu Ibrahim Al-Ash'hali with a connected chain, and the hadith of Abu Salamah is Mursal.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا قَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ وَمَنْ أَحْيَيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَأَحْيِهِ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَمَنْ تَوَفَّيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّهُ عَلَى الْإِيمَانِ 6970 وَأنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَأَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ السُّوسِيُّ قَالَا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ هُوَ الْأَصَمُّ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ التَّنُوخِيُّ ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِالْإِسْنَادَيْنِ جَمِيعًا مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي أَوَّلِهِ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَلَنَا وَآخِرِنَا وَحِيِّنًا وَمَيِّتِنَا هَذَا هُوَ الصَّحِيحُ حَدِيثُ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْأَشْهَلِيِّ مَوْصُولٌ وَحَدِيثُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ مُرْسَلٌ  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ قَالَ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا اللهُمَّ مَنْ أَحْيَيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَأَحْيِهِ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَمَنْ تَوَفَّيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّهُ عَلَى الْإِيمَانِ 6972 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ مَرْوَانَ الرَّقِّيُّ ثنا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ مَوْصُولًا إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ وَذَكَرَ لَفْظَ الْإِيمَانِ فِي أَوَّلِهِ وَالْإِسْلَامِ فِي آخِرِهِ وَزَادَ اللهُمَّ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ وَلَا تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَهُ وَرَوَاهُ عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ  

[Machine] "Aisha, the mother of the believers, how was the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ upon the deceased?" She said, "He would say, 'O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, our males and our females, our absent and our present, our young and our old. O Allah, whoever among us You keep alive, keep him alive on Islam, and whoever among us You cause to die, let him die on iman (faith).' It was narrated by Hammam ibn Yahya from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir from Abdullah ibn Abi Qatadah from his father and from Yahya from Abu Salamah, in addition to Abu Hurairah not being mentioned."  

عَائِشَةَ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؓ كَيْفَ كَانَتْ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ؟ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا وَغَائِبِنَا وَشَاهِدِنَا وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا اللهُمَّ مَنْ أَحْيَيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَأَحْيِهِ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَمَنْ تَوَفَّيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّهُ عَلَى الْإِيمَانِ وَرَوَاهُ هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَعَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بِزِيَادَتِهِ دُونَ ذِكْرِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ  

[Machine] He witnessed the Prophet ﷺ praying over a deceased, and heard him say, "O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, our present and our absent, our young and our old, our males and our females." Abu Salamah said, "During this conversation, he said, 'Whoever among us you keep alive, let him live according to Islam, and whoever among us you cause to die, let him die in a state of faith.'" It was narrated by Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn Yasār from Muhammad ibn Ibrāhīm al-Taymi from Abu Salamah from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say in the prayer for the funeral, and he mentioned its meaning. Abu ‘Isa al-Tirmidhi said, in what was reported to me by Muhammad ibn Isma’il al-Bukhari about this chapter, “I asked Muhammad (meaning al-Bukhari), ‘Which of the reports about praying for the deceased from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir is the most sound?’” He said, ‘The most sound reports on the prayer for the deceased are the hadiths of Abu Ibrāhīm al-Ash’hali from his father and grandfather, and even though the name of Abu Ibrāhīm is not known.’ Abu ‘Isa (al-Tirmidhi) said, ‘I said to him, ‘The one who is said to be Abu ‘Isa al-Qatadah, he denied that he is Abu ‘Isa al-Qatadah, and Abu Qatadah is Salimi and this is Ash’hali.’ Muhammad said, ‘The hadith of Abu Salamah from Abu Hurayrah, ‘A’ishah, and Abu Qatadah in this chapter is not confirmed, and the most sound reports in this chapter are the hadiths of ‘Awf ibn Malik.’'  

أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى عَلَى مَيِّتٍ قَالَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا قَالَ وَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ مَعَ هَذَا الْكَلَامِ مَنْ أَحْيَيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَأَحْيِهِ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَمَنْ تَوَفَّيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّهُ عَلَى الْإِيمَانِ 6975 وَرُوِيَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلُوسَا الْأَسَدَابَاذِيُّ ثنا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَاسِيٍّ الْبَزَّازُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَصْرِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو عُمَرَ الضَّرِيرُ حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ أنبأ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ وَقَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى التِّرْمِذِيُّ فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي عَنْهُ سَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدًا يَعْنِي الْبُخَارِيَّ عَنْ هَذَا الْبَابِ فَقُلْتُ أِيُّ الرِّوَايَاتِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ أَصَحُّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ؟ فَقَالَ أَصَحُّ شَيْءٍ فِيهِ حَدِيثُ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْأَشْهَلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَلِوَالِدِهِ صُحْبَةٌ وَلَمْ يُعْرَفِ اسْمُ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى قُلْتُ لَهُ فَالَّذِي يُقَالُ هُوَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ فَأَنْكَرَ أَنْ يَكُونَ هُوَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ وَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ هُوَ سَلْمِيٌّ وَهَذَا أَشْهَلِيٌّ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَحَدِيثُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَائِشَةَ وَأَبِي قَتَادَةَ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ غَيْرُ مَحْفُوظٍ وَأَصَحُّ شَيْءٍ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ حَدِيثُ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ  

[Machine] "Did you hear the Prophet ﷺ praying over the funeral prayer? He said, 'O Allah, you are its Lord, you created it, you guided it to Islam, and you took its soul. You know its secrets and its apparent, we have come as intercessors, so forgive her.' Shu'bah differed in its chain of narrators, and the narration of Abdul Warith is more authentic. Abu Al-Husayn bin Al-Fadl Al-Qattan informed us, Abdullah bin Ja'far narrated to us, Ya'qub bin Sufyan narrated to us, Abu Al-Walid narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated from Julas, he said, "I heard Uthman bin Shammas narrate to me that Saeed bin Al-Aas sent me to Al-Madinah and I was with Marwan. Abu Hurayrah passed by and said, 'Some of your hadith, Abu Hurayrah.' Then he left. He came back and we said, 'Now it will happen.' He said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying over the funeral prayer.' He said, 'You created it or you created him?' He mentioned something similar except that he said, 'You know its secrets and its apparent.' And Abu Balj Yahya bin Abi Sulaim narrated to us, Yazeed narrated to me, Yahya bin Abi Sulaim narrated to us, he said, 'I heard Al-Julas narrating, he said, 'Marwan asked Abu Hurayrah, 'How did you hear the Prophet ﷺ ?' The authentic narration is that of Abdul Warith bin Saeed. And Allah knows best."  

سَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ؟ قَالَ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبُّهَا وَأَنْتَ خَلَقْتَهَا وَأَنْتَ هَدَيْتَهَا إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَأَنْتَ قَبَضْتَ رُوحَهَا فَأَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِسِرِّهَا وَعَلَانِيَتِهَا جِئْنَا شُفَعَاءَ فَاغْفِرْ لَهَا خَالَفَهُ شُعْبَةُ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ وَرِوَايَةُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ أَصَحُّ 6977 أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ جُلَاسٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ شَمَّاسٍ ثنا بَعَثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْعَاصِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَكُنْتُ مَعَ مَرْوَانَ فَمَرَّ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ بَعْضَ حَدِيثِكَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَمَضَى ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ فَقُلْنَا الْآنَ يَقَعُ بِهِ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَهَا أَوْ خَلَقْتَهُ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ تَعْلَمُ سِرَّهَا وَعَلَانِيَتَهَا وَأَعْضَلَهُ أَبُو بَلْجٍ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ 6978 أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ ثنا ابْنُ رَجَاءٍ ثنا زَائِدَةُ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْجُلَاسَ يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ سَأَلَ مَرْوَانُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَيْفَ سَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ؟ وَالصَّحِيحُ رِوَايَةُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] O Abu Hurairah, you continue to narrate Hadiths that we do not know, then you leave and return to him. He said, "O Abu Hurairah, how is the prayer upon the deceased?" He replied, "With your permission beforehand." He said, "Yes." He said, "We used to say, 'O Allah, You are its Lord  

يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ مَا تَزَالُ تُحَدِّثُ بِأَحَادِيثَ لَا نَعْرِفُهَا ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَيْفَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ؟ قَالَ مَعَ قَوْلِكِ آنِفًا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ كُنَّا نَقُولُ اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبُّهَا  

[Machine] Abdullah Ibn Abbas led us in a funeral prayer in the village. He said the takbeer, then recited Surah Al-Fatiha out loud. Then he sent blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Allah, Your servant, the son of Your servant, the son of Your maidservant, testifies that there is no god but You alone, with no partner, and that Muhammad is Your servant and Messenger. He has become in need of Your mercy while You are free of needing to punish him. He renounced the world and its people, whether he was righteous or sinful, so purify him if he was righteous and forgive him if he was sinful. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward and do not let us go astray after him." Then he said the takbeer three times, and then he left. He said, "O people, I only recited it so that you would know that it is a Sunnah." The scholar said, "There are many ahadith about the Prophet ﷺ , then 'Umar, 'Ali, Ibn 'Umar, Abu Huraira, and others in the supplication in the funeral prayer. There is nothing specific about the timing of the supplication, and some of what we have mentioned is sufficient. And with Allah is success."  

عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ صَلَّى بِنَا عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ فَكَبَّرَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ رَافِعًا صَوْتَهُ بِهَا ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللهُمَّ عَبْدُكَ وَابْنُ عَبْدِكَ وَابْنُ أَمَتِكَ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَيَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ أَصْبَحَ فَقِيرًا إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ وَأَصْبَحْتَ غَنِيًّا عَنْ عَذَابِهِ تَخَلَّى مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَأَهْلِهَا إِنْ كَانَ زَاكِيًا فَزَكِّهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُخْطِئًا فَاغْفِرْ لَهُ اللهُمَّ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ وَلَا تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَهُ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ ثَلَاثَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي لَمْ أَقْرَأْ عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّهَا سُنَّةٌ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَفِي الدُّعَاءِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْجِنَازَةِ أَحَادِيثُ كَثِيرَةٌ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ عَنْ عُمَرَ وَعَلِيٍّ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ ؓ وَلَيْسَ فِي الدُّعَاءِ شَيْءٌ مُوَقَّتٌ وَفِي بَعْضِ مَا ذَكَرْنَا كِفَايَةٌ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ  

[Machine] His daughter died, so he came out in her funeral on a bier behind the funeral procession. The women began to lament, so Abdullah ibn Abu Awfa said: "Do not lament, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade mourning, but rather let one of you cry over her own loss as she wishes." Then he prayed over her and raised his hands in supplication, as far as the distance between the two prostrations, seeking forgiveness for her and making du'a. Then he said: "This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do."  

مَاتَتِ ابْنَةٌ لَهُ فَخَرَجَ فِي جِنَازَتِهَا عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ خَلْفَ الْجِنَازَةِ فَجَعَلَ النِّسَاءُ يَرْثِينَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي أَوْفَى لَا تَرْثِينَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ الْمَرَاثِي وَلَكِنْ لِتُفِضْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ مِنْ عَبْرَتِهَا مَا شَاءَتْ قَالَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا فَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا فَقَامَ بَعْدَ التَّكْبِيرَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ بِقَدْرِ مَا بَيْنَ التَّكْبِيرَتَيْنِ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهَا وَيَدْعُو ثُمَّ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ هَكَذَا  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed over a funeral, made four takbeers (saying "Allahu Akbar" four times), and made the tasleem (saying "Assalamu Alaikum" at the end of the prayer). It was narrated that Ata' ibn As-Sa'ib reported that the Prophet ﷺ gave salaam to the funeral with one tasleem.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ فَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعًا وَسَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمَةً وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ مُرْسَلًا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَلَّمَ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ تَسْلِيمَةً وَاحِدَةً  

[Machine] I prayed behind Ali Ibn Abi Talib at the funeral of Yazid Ibn Mukaffaf, and I made the Takbeer four times and sent one Salutation.  

صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ عَلَى جِنَازَةِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مُكَفَّفٍ فَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعًا وَسَلَّمَ وَاحِدَةً  

[Machine] Translation: "Tasleemah means in the funeral."  

تَسْلِيمَةٌ يَعْنِي فِي الْجِنَازَةِ  

“He took my head or the hair of my head and made me stand on his right side”. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 611)   

عَنْ يَمِينِهِ  

[Machine] He used to greet the funeral with a proper greeting.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ تَسْلِيمَةً  

[Machine] I saw Wathila bin Al-Asqa, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , give his final salutation to the funeral procession. We also narrated it from Jaabir bin Abdullah, Anas bin Malik, Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunaif, and others.  

رَأَيْتُ وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ ؓ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ تَسْلِيمَةً وَرُوِّينَاهُ أَيْضًا عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَأَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ وَغَيْرِهِمْ  

[Machine] "I cannot inform you more than what I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do or this is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did. Then he mounted his ride and said to the boy, 'Where am I?' The boy replied, 'In front of the funeral.' He said, 'Has it not reached exhaustion?' And he had supposedly his sight withheld."  

إِنِّي لَا أَزِيدُكُمْ عَلَى مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ أَوْ هَكَذَا صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ رَكِبَ دَابَّتَهَ وَقَالَ لِلْغُلَامِ أَيْنَ أَنَا؟ قَالَ أَمَامَ الْجِنَازَةِ قَالَ أَلَمْ أَنْهَكَ وَكَانَ قَدْ كُفَّ يَعْنِي بَصَرُهُ  

[Machine] There are three habits that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do but people have neglected them. One of them is saying the funeral prayer (takbeer) at a funeral, just like saying takbeer in the regular prayer.  

ثَلَاثُ خِلَالٍ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَفْعَلُهُنَّ تَرَكَهُنَّ النَّاسُ إِحْدَاهُنَّ التَّسْلِيمُ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ مِثْلُ التَّسْلِيمِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] He used to secretly offer condolences at the funeral.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ فِي الْجِنَازَةِ تَسْلِيمَةً خَفِيَّةً  

[Machine] To recite Takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) then send blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ , then strive in supplicating for the deceased, then offer salutations for oneself. And it is narrated from Abd al-Wahid ibn Ziyad from Ma'mar, but I believe it is a mistake, and the correct narration is from those who narrated it from al-Zuhri from Abu Umamah ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf.  

أَنْ يُكَبِّرَ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ يَجْتَهِدَ لِلْمَيِّتِ فِي الدُّعَاءِ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمَ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَكَذَلِكَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ وَعِنْدِي أَنَّهُ غَلَطٌ وَالصَّوَابُ رِوَايَةُ مَنْ رَوَاهَا عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ  

[Machine] "He makes the one following him hear."  

يُسْمِعَ مَنْ يَلِيهِ  

[Machine] He used to raise his hands during every takbeer of the funeral prayer, and when he stood between the two rak'ahs, meaning in the one that is obligatory, it was narrated from Anas ibn Malik that he used to raise his hands whenever he said the takbeer for the funeral prayer. Ash-Shafi'i said: "I heard similar from Sa'id ibn Al-Musayyib and 'Urwah ibn Az-Zubayr." The Shaykh (i.e. Al-Albani) said: "And it has been narrated from Qays ibn Abi Hazim, 'Ata ibn Abi Rabah, 'Umar ibn 'Abdul 'Aziz, Hasan, and Muhammad ibn Sirin."
