[Machine] When Abu Talib passed away, I went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, your uncle has died." He said, "Go and bury him." I said, "I cannot bury him alone." He said, "Then go and call for help." So I went and buried him, and then the Prophet ﷺ told me to perform ghusl (ritual bath) and he supplicated for me with prayers that pleased me more than anything on earth. Al-Thawri, Shu'bah, and Sharik narrated it from Abu Ishaq and Al-Amash narrated it from him from a man from Ali and Najiya ibn Ka'b al-Asadi. However, his credibility is not established according to the two Sahih authorities, and it is not mentioned in it that he washed him. Abu Abdillah al-Hafiz informed us that I am al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn Ishaq; Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn al-Bara'ah said: Ali ibn al-Madinini said: The hadith of Ali is that the Prophet ﷺ ordered him to bury Abu Talib. We did not find him except with the people of Kufa, and in his chain of transmission is some weakness.
