[Machine] When Abu Talib died, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, the misguided old man has died." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Go and wash him, shroud him, and give him funeral rites." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, should I do that?" He replied, "Who else is more deserving than you to do that? Go and wash him, shroud him, and give him funeral rites, and do not speak about anything until you come to me." So I left and did as he instructed. Then, when I came to him, he said, "Go and perform the ablution for the major impurity. This is a mistake. The well-known narration from Abu Ishaq, from Najiyah, from Ali, as mentioned previously, and Salih ibn Muqatil ibn Salih narrates the anomalous things, and it is also narrated from Al-Harith, from Ali, in his statement."  

لَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَاتَ الشَّيْخُ الضَّالُّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اذْهَبْ فَاغْسِلْهُ وَكَفِّنْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا؟ فَقَالَ وَمَنْ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ مِنْكَ اذْهَبْ فَاغْسِلْهُ وَكَفِّنْهُ وَجَنَّنْهُ وَلَا تُحْدِثَنَّ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَفَعَلْتُ قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَتَيْتُهُ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَاغْتَسِلْ غُسْلَ الْجَنَابَةِ هَذَا غَلَطٌ وَالْمَشْهُورُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ كَمَا تَقَدَّمَ وَصَالِحُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ يَرْوِي الْمَنَاكِيرَ وَرُوِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ
