٦۔١٧ باب مَا جَاءَ فِي النَّهْىِ عَنِ التَّسَلُّبِ، مَعَ الْجِنَازَةِ

ibnmajah:1485Aḥmad b. ʿAbdah > ʿAmr b. al-Nuʿmān > ʿAlī b. al-Ḥazawwar > Nufayʿ > ʿImrān b. al-Ḥuṣayn And ʾAbī Barzah

“We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to attend a funeral, and he saw some people who had cast aside their upper sheets and were walking in their shirts only. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Are you adopting the practice of the days of ignorance?’ or; ‘Are you imitating the behavior of the days of ignorance? I was about to supplicate against you that you would return in a different form.’ So they put their sheets back on and never did that again.”  

ابن ماجة:١٤٨٥حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَزَوَّرِ عَنْ نُفَيْعٍ

عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ وَأَبِي بَرْزَةَ قَالاَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي جِنَازَةٍ فَرَأَى قَوْمًا قَدْ طَرَحُوا أَرْدِيَتَهُمْ يَمْشُونَ فِي قُمُصٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَبِفِعْلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ تَأْخُذُونَ أَوْ بِصُنْعِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ تَشَبَّهُونَ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَدْعُوَ عَلَيْكُمْ دَعْوَةً تَرْجِعُونَ فِي غَيْرِ صُوَرِكُمْ قَالَ فَأَخَذُوا أَرْدِيَتَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَعُودُوا لِذَلِكَ
