12. Chapter of Zay (Male)
١٢۔ بَابُ الزَّايِ
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to forbid speaking ill of the dead.
«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَنْهَى عَنْ سَبِّ الْمَوْتَى»
“Zaid bin Arqan used to say the Takbir four times in the funeral prayer, and he said the Takbir five times for one funeral. I asked him (about that) and he said: ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do that.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1505)
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُكَبِّرُهَا»
[Machine] I heard Zaid bin Arqam saying: "O Messenger of Allah, every group has followers, and we have followed you. So, pray to Allah to make our followers from amongst us." Then Amr bin Murrah reported that to Ibn Abi Layla, who said, "Zaid bin Arqam claimed that."
سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ يَقُولُ قُلْنَا «يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ لكُلِّ قَوْمٍ تَبَعًا وَإِنَّا قَدِ اتَّبَعْنَاكَ فَادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ أَتْبَاعَنَا مِنَّا فَدَعَا» فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ فَنَمَّيْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى فَقَالَ «قَدْ زَعَمَ ذَلِكَ زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ»
"I heard Ash-Sha'bi saying: 'I sat with Ibn 'Umar for a year and I did not hear him narrate anything from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 26)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ شَدِيدٌ»
