bayhaqi:6962Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Ismāʿīl b. Aḥmad al-Tājir > Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-ʿAsqalānī > Ḥarmalah b. Yaḥyá > Ibn Wahb > Yūnus > Ibn Shihāb

[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.

[Machine] Abu Umamah ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf, who was one of the senior supporters and scholars of the Ansar, and the son of those who witnessed Badr with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , informed me. Men among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed him about the funeral prayer. "The Imam should start by saying the takbir, then send blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ , and complete the prayer with three additional takbirs before making the tasleem in a quiet manner when he leaves. And the Sunnah is for those behind him to do the same as what he has done." Az-Zuhri said, "Abu Umamah and Ibn Al-Musayyib informed me about this, and Ibn Shihab mentioned what Abu Umamah had told me about the Sunnah in the funeral prayer for Muhammad bin Suyaid." He said, "And I heard ad-Dahhak ibn Qays narrating from Habib ibn Muslimah in a prayer he performed for the deceased, similar to what Abu Umamah informed us."
