bayhaqi:1452Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥusayn b. Muḥammad b. Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Faqīh > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar b. Aḥmad b. Shawdhab al-Muqriʾ Biwāsiṭ > Shuʿayb b. Ayyūb > ʿUbaydullāh b. Mūsá > Isrāʾīl > Abū Isḥāq > Nājiyah b. Kaʿb al-Asadī > ʿAlī > Lammā

[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.  

البيهقي:١٤٥٢كَمَا أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْفَقِيهُ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ شَوْذَبٍ الْمُقْرِئُ بِوَاسِطَ ثنا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ

لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الضَّالَّ قَدْ هَلَكَ قَالَ فَانْطَلِقْ فَوَارِهِ فَقُلْتُ مَا أَنَا بِمُوَارِيهِ قَالَ فَمَنْ يُوَارِيهِ؟ انْطَلِقْ فَوَارِهِ وَلَا تُحْدِثَنَّ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَوَارَيْتُهُ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَغْتَسِلَ ثُمَّ دَعَا لِي بِدَعَوَاتٍ وَلَا يَسُرُّنِي بِهَا مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا الثَّوْرِيُّ وَشُعْبَةُ وَشَرِيكٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ وَرَوَاهُ الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَنَاجِيَةُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ لَمْ تَثْبُتْ عَدَالَتُهُ عِنْدَ صَاحِبَيِ الصَّحِيحِ وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ أَنَّهُ غَسَّلَهُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ حَدِيثُ عَلِيٍّ ؓ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُوَارِيَ أَبَا طَالِبٍ لَمْ نَجِدْهُ إِلَّا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ وَفِي إِسْنَادِهِ بَعْضُ الشَّيْءِ  

رَوَاهُ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا رَوَى عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ غَيْرَ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ الْإِمَامُ أَحْمَدُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ ضَعِيفٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ هَكَذَا
