11. Funerals
١١۔ كتاب الجنائز
It is better that one of you should sit on live coals which would burn his clothing and come in contact with his skin than that he should sit on a grave.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لأَنْ يَجْلِسَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى جَمْرَةٍ فَتُحْرِقَ ثِيَابَهُ فَتَخْلُصَ إِلَى جِلْدِهِ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ عَلَى قَبْرٍ
A hadith like this has been narrated by Suhail with the same chain of transmitters.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي الدَّرَاوَرْدِيَّ ح وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ
Do not sit on the graves and do not pray facing towards them.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَجْلِسُوا عَلَى الْقُبُورِ وَلاَ تُصَلُّوا إِلَيْهَا
Do not pray facing towards the graves, and do not sit on them.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ تُصَلُّوا إِلَى الْقُبُورِ وَلاَ تَجْلِسُوا عَلَيْهَا
