[Machine] Abu Al-Malih Al-Hudhali went out in a funeral. When the deceased was placed on the bed, he approached the people and said, "Straighten your rows and improve your intercession." Then Abu Al-Malih said, "Abdullah bin Salit informed me, and he was the brother of Maymunah, the mother of the believers, from Maymunah, from the Prophet ﷺ , who said, 'Whoever prays upon him, a nation will intercede for their brother.' And the nation is forty to one hundred, the group is ten to forty, and the individual is three to ten."

[Machine] I prayed behind Abu Al-Malih for a funeral prayer, and he said, "Arrange your rows and improve your intercession. Even if I were to choose someone, I would choose him." Then he said, "Abdullah bin Salil narrated to me" [Abdullah said], "My father narrated to us, and Abu Ubaydah Al-Haddad said, "Abdullah bin Salit narrated to me from some of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ , Maymuna, and her brother was from breastfeeding. They said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'No Muslim prays upon him except that they will intercede for him.'" Abu Al-Malih said, "The intercession is from forty to one hundred and beyond."
